Training for Night/Limited Visibility Operations

Abstract

Although training directives dictate that one-third of all tactical training be conducted under limited visibility conditions, examination of current Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle (BIFV) unit training schedules indicated that this was not being done for a variety of reasons. Field personnel queried by research team members indicated that the conduct of training specific to limited visibility conditions is hampered by the lack of adequate guidance on the optimal content and methods for such training. A proposed Night Training Program (NTP) was developed to fill the presently existing void in guidance to BIFV units for conducting limited visibility training. The program integrates material presently existing in scattered form into a coordinated approach to BIFV unit night operations training.
