“Recommends medium machine gun employment to the platoon leader.”
Weapons Squad Leader
You are the weapons squad leader in a rifle platoon that is deployed conducting combat operations. During a dismounted patrol, an enemy tank is identified approximately 500 meters from your platoons location. Your new platoon leader asks for your recommendation on which weapon system should be used to e;laminate the enemy threat. What is your response.
I recommend the Javelin - a medium anti tank missile - to eliminate the threat.
You are one of the machine gunners in your weapons squad. It is noon. Your squad is providing overwatch to a checkpoint when suddenly you come under fire from a single enemy soldier firing a light machine gun from the roof top of the Red Building. After taking cover and assessing the situation, your squad leader orders you to eliminate that threat with your issued weapon. As you and your assistant se the bipod of your weapon firmly on the ground, you remember from the range card that the red building is exactly at 1000 m from your position.
Doctrinally: can you eliminate the threat
Yes/No: Why
No, because as a machine gunner in a weapons squad, my weapon is the M240B and the max area effective range on a bipod is 800 meters, so it is not effective on the house at 1000 meters.
