Book Description
The objective of Training Effectiveness (TEA) is to produce training improvements through analysis and redesign of the procedures and resources used to implement training. Accordingly, TRADOC directed the U.S. Army Infantry School (USAIS) to conduct a TEA for the M15A1 rifle. In support of the USAIS, the U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) has initiated TEA-related research for this weapon. A major objective of the ARI research is to identify both short and long range improvements in the training process for M16A1 rifle marksmanship. One portion of this research is the development of a prototype criterion referenced, threat oriented Basic Rifle Marsmanship (BRM) training program. Based on research accomplished during 1976 and 1977, it apears that the immediate development of the prototype BRM program is premature and that certain intermediate research and development tasks remain to be completed before program development should be initiated. One of these tasks involves updating the existing information base for BRM training procedures and practices. This report presents the findings of a survey of BRM training as it is now implemented at four Army Training Centers and discusses in detail the various procedures, performance measures, diagnostics, remediation activities, training aids, and training materials used for this training. In addition, the report discusses the implications of the survey findings for improving the marksmanship training process.

Book Description
This manual provides guidance for planning and executing training on the 5.56-mm M16A1 and M16A2 rifles to include the conduct of basic rifle marksmanship and advanced rifle marksmanship. It is a guide for commanders, leaders, and instructors to develop training programs, plans and lessons that meet the objectives/intent of the United States Army rifle marksmanship program.This manual is organized to lead the trainer through the material needed to conduct training. Preliminary subjects include discussions on mechanical training, the weapons' capabilities, and the principles and fundamentals of marksmanship. Live-fire applications are scheduled after the soldier has demonstrated preliminary skills.The procedures and methods used in the Army rifle marksmanship program are based on the concept that soldiers must be skilled marksmen who can effectively apply their firing skills in combat.

Book Description
This report summarizes the major products of research on rifle marksmanship conducted by the Army Research Institute at Fort Benning, mostly between March 1978 and June 1980. It includes resarch designed to identify the problems existing in basic marksmanship training and training equipment (e.g., poor instruction, insufficient practice and inadequate knowledge of shooting results). Several experiments are reported that examined promising solutions to these problems. These solutions include simplified fundamentals, an improved zeroing target, better diagnostic check points, down-range feedback and other procedures to improve knowledge of results, improved transition to firing and steps to improve instructional quality. Based upon the research findings, a new basic rifle marksmanship program was developed and tested. It was found to improve record fire (final exam) performance by 29 percent. This new program has been put into effect in the Infantry Training Brigade at Fort Benning and is soon to be adopted Army-wide. The report also summarizes the main problems remaining to be resolved if fully adequate basic marksmanship training is to be realized. It concludes with information about the continuing research directed toward development of improved advanced individual and unit level training in marksmanship. (Author).

Book Description
During the Spring of 1976 the BRM Test, conducted at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, evaluated four basic rifle marksmanship (BRM) training programs: the Army Subject Schedule (ASUBJSCD), Fort Benning, Fort Dix, and Fort Jackson programs. One product of the test was a substantial quantity of individual difference and rifle firing data. These data are currently being analyzed to assess the effects of selected individual differences on BRM acquisition and terminal performance. The purpose of this report is to present the results of these analyses. The first is a molecular analysis of the Fort Benning and Fort Dix programs. The second is a molar analysis of the four BRM test programs. Finally, as a by-product of the analyses, descriptions of the four BRM Test programs were developed. These descriptions indicate the instruction and evaluation activities, training objectives, and training practices characteristics of each of the BRM test programs. Originator-supplied key words include: Basic rifle marksmanship; M16A1 rifle, Marksmanship conditions, Marksmanship criteria, Marksmanship standards, Marksmanship tasks, Marksmanship training, Rifle marksmanship training, Training conditions, Training standards, and Training tasks.
