Book excerpt: Drill sergeants are the primary trainers of rifle marksmanship in Initial Entry Training (IET). They are responsible for teaching basic and advanced rifle marksmanship (BRM and ARM) to all enlisted Soldiers using a crawl-walk-run training strategy. The current BRM training strategy encompasses instruction on the fundamentals of marksmanship, grouping and zeroing an M16-/M4-series rifle, and transitional firing that culminates with a qualification event. The ARM training strategy focuses on engaging targets from advanced firing positions in increasingly difficult scenarios and conditions.From 2006 to 2010 the Initial Entry Training (IET) rifle marksmanship program went through numerous changes designed to better prepare the IET Soldier for deployment to Afghanistan or Iraq. These changes redefined parts of the Army's marksmanship doctrine and required drill sergeants to relearn techniques and procedures required to implement the new training strategies. It was determined there was a need to generate a rifle marksmanship diagnostic and training guide that consolidated the tacit knowledge regarding the techniques that experienced drill sergeants and other expert marksmanship trainers had found to be effective with IET Soldiers. These techniques would provide valuable training supplements to the marksmanship field manual.

This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acquiring the ability to accurately shoot a pistol is no simple matter. One should not assume that the art of advanced pistol marksmanship is fully realized immediately upon reading a training manual on the fundamentals and techniques of pistol shooting; nor completely understood after having received a few hours of advice and instruction from a qualified coach or expert shooter.To become a top pistol shooter and able to produce consistently high scores, one must learn to perform all the fundamentals of shooting, acquire certain definite habits, achieve flawless coordination - and above all - have a capacity for the intense concentration essential to exercising a high degree of mental control. For this, one must train.It is difficult, if not impossible, to establish a universal system of training in pistol marksmanship which will cover all cases - one that can be adapted to each shooter's technique or special need. Training pistol shooters requires an individual approach. There is no single pattern or system for the organization of training that will entirely meet the individual requirements of all competitors, nor can one ever be expected. This is the reason knowledgeable coaches take the peculiarities of an individual - such as experience, degree of preparation and fitness, and other items - into account. They use these, and by relying on their own experience, devise a training program which allows special consideration for each shooter's capabilities. In spite of the difference in details, technique or method, there is much that is common to the training of advanced marksmen, that - in the opinion of leading coaches and shooters, applies to everyone, without exception. This manualendeavors to present, in a detailed, comprehensive manner, these universal applications.Advanced pistol marksmanship training must of necessity, avoid the involved and exceedingly complex because it is an activity whose participants form a great cross-section of our nation
