Target Engagement by Tgt Types Flashcards
MG
Point tgts
The gunner will aim at an individual target.
Area tgts
The gunner fires at the center mass of the target and then traverses and searches to
either flank
Linear tgt
The initial point of aim (POA) is the midpoint and then the gunner manipulates
his fire to cover the rest of the target.
Gunners divide the target at the midpoint with each firing on his half. Then each
gunner Traverses to the outside and then back in
Deep Tgt engagement
The gunner uses searching fire and initially aims at the midpoint using single deep targets
unless there is another more critical target
Working as a Pair of Gunners (Talking Guns)
When a pair of gunners engage area targets each gunner fires on his half of the
target area
Linear Tgt with depth
Gunners work to the outside then back inside
