| us army marksmanship manual: Principles of Quick Kill - the U.s. Army Manual of Instinct Shooting Keith M. Stickley, Uncle Sam Teaches You!, 2013-10-31 Principles of Quick Kill The U.S. Army Manual of Instinct Shooting, Revised In the 1960's, the U.S. Army developed an Instinct Shooting program based on the methods of world class trick shot champions like Lucky McDaniel. This unique training method enabled soldiers with limited shooting experience to engage aerial and ground targets from a variety of distances with surgical accuracy without using their rifle sights. Using the Instinct Shooting technique known as “Quick Kill” it's possible to shoot objects as small as paintballs and aspirin tablets as they are thrown in the air with a simple spring action BB gun! These lessons are sure to improve the clay, skeet, and trap shooter. Uncle Sam Teaches YOU! has taken the U.S. Army Training Text 23-71-1 and revised, edited, and reformatted it into a much more user-friendly and easy to read format. This manual, along with a basic BB gun will help you improve your quick-shot instinct shooting marksmanship skills to a level you never knew possible! |
| us army marksmanship manual: Rifle Marksmanship U. S. Marine Corps, 2005-01-01 All Marines share a common warfighting belief: Every Marine a rifleman. This simple credo reinforces the belief that all Marines are forged from a common experience, share a common set of values, and are trained as members of an expeditionary force in readiness. As such, there are no rear area Marines, and no one is very far from the fighting during expeditionary operations. The Marine rifleman of the next conflict will be as in past conflicts: among the first to confront the enemy and the last to hang his weapon in the rack after the conflict is won. Rifle Marksmanship, a Marine Corps Reference Publication, provides techniques and procedures for Marine Corps rifle marksmanship. Every Marine is first and foremost a rifleman. Rifle Marksmanship reflects this ethos and the Marine Corps' warfighting philosophy. This publication discusses the individual skills required for effective rifle marksmanship and standardizes the techniques and procedures used throughout the Marine Corps. It constitutes the doctrinal basis for all entry-level and sustainment-level rifle marksmanship training. |
| us army marksmanship manual: The M16A1 Rifle Department of the Army, 2013-03-01 The U.S. Army teamed up with cartoonist and graphic artist Will Eisner to produce teaching tools for U.S. soldiers in a medium that they could easily understand. The M16A1 Rifle: Operation and Preventive Maintenance, first printed in 1969, features a female narrator who instructs GIs on the proper care of their AR-15 (military name M16A1) rifles—firearms notorious for jamming and malfunctioning. More than a simple manual and step-by-step guide, this unconventional yet important military document tried to appeal to soldiers with suggestive chapter titles such as “How to Strip Your Baby,” “What to Do in a Jam,” “Sweet 16,” and “All the Way with Négligé.” A copy of the thirty-two-page booklet was issued to nearly every soldier serving in Vietnam. |

Army, 2017-01-16 An effective unit marksmanship program reflects the priority, emphasis, and interest of commanders and trainers. This chapter provides a proven rifle marksmanship training strategy as guidance in establishing and conducting an effective training program. The strategy consists of the progressive individual training periods taught during initial entry training (IET). It progresses into advanced skills and concludes with advanced reading material. Refresher training need only be conducted on periods that are deemed necessary. The proficiency attained by a soldier depends on proper training and application of the basic marksmanship fundamentals. During initial marksmanship training, emphasis is on learning the firing fundamentals, which are taught in four phases-preliminary rifle instruction, downrange feedback, field firing, and advanced firing exercises. This prepares soldiers for advanced optic and laser training for combat-type collective exercises and real world deployments. |

| us army marksmanship manual: Foundations of Sniper Marksmanship John C. Simpson, 2019 This book is more weighted toward the marksmanship side of things. This is because it's important to establish a solid foundation of training in the classic marksmanship positions before you start to worry about tactical application.

| us army marksmanship manual: The M14 Battle Rifle Leroy Thompson, 2014-10-20 The M14 may have only been the primary US service rifle for a little over a decade before being replaced by the M16, but it is still considered by many experts to be the best rifle to ever see US service. Primarily designed for a war in Europe, where it would take its place alongside the other battle rifles like the FN FAL, the M14 saw most of its combat use in the early days of the Vietnam War. Maintained until 1970 for compatibility with NATO forces the M14 had a renaissance as a semi-automatic sniping weapon and since 2001 the M14 has been employed as a Designated Marksman Rifle, being employed by all branches of the US military, especially in Afghanistan where the open terrain makes longer-range engagements common. Featuring specially commissioned full-color artwork and archive and close-up photographs, this engaging study tells the story of the M14, the long-lived battle rifle that remains in front-line service with US forces more than 50 years after its first adoption. |

| us army marksmanship manual: The U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual United States. Department of the Army, United States Marine Corps, 2007-07-04 When the U.S. military invaded Iraq, it lacked a common understanding of the problems inherent in counterinsurgency campaigns. It had neither studied them, nor developed doctrine and tactics to deal with them. It is fair to say that in 2003, most Army officers knew more about the U.S. Civil War than they did about counterinsurgency. The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual was written to fill that void. The result of unprecedented collaboration among top U.S. military experts, scholars, and practitioners in the field, the manual espouses an approach to combat that emphasizes constant adaptation and learning, the importance of decentralized decision-making, the need to understand local politics and customs, and the key role of intelligence in winning the support of the population. The manual also emphasizes the paradoxical and often counterintuitive nature of counterinsurgency operations: sometimes the more you protect your forces, the less secure you are; sometimes the more force you use, the less effective it is; sometimes doing nothing is the best reaction. An new introduction by Sarah Sewall, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, places the manual in critical and historical perspective, explaining the significance and potential impact of this revolutionary challenge to conventional U.S. military doctrine. An attempt by our military to redefine itself in the aftermath of 9/11 and the new world of international terrorism, The U.S. Army / Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual will play a vital role in American military campaigns for years to come. The University of Chicago Press will donate a portion of the proceeds from this book to the Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports the families of America’s injured servicemen.

| us army marksmanship manual: Rifle Marksmanship U. S. Army, 2014-12-01 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. |
