M1 Tank Gunnery: A Detailed Analysis of Conditions, Behaviors, and Processes

Abstract

This report establishes the domain of M1 tactical gunnery at the crew level. It categorizes the conditions that affect crew behavior in each of the segments of the gunnery process, with particular attention to the processes directly related to firing the tank weapons systems. The report presents a three-step model of tank gunnery, identifies fifteen sets of variables in the engagement process, and lists all possible engagement patterns. The results can be used by the Armor School to develop tactical gunnery training and testing programs for the M1 tank. Keywords: Armor; Tanks; M1-Tank; Gunnery; Training.
