The road to war provides a comprehensive overview of current, doctrinally approved tank training plans. The intent is to familiarize the user with armor-related training plans and includes links to tips, techniques and procedure that can be used to train and test tank gunnery or tactical skills. This guide is designed for use with FM 17-12-series manuals and the technical manuals or other resource materials for each device.This guide was developed as a ready reference for tank commanders, platoon sergeants, platoon leaders, master gunners, S3s, and the chain of command of armor units. From this manual, the user can determine methods that will best support the type of planned gunnery/tactical training at home station. |
Previous Editions (for members only) |
| Our tankers are deployed to a number of foreign destinations. This kiosk provides links to assist the soldiers into understand how their quality of life will be affected in their duty locations. This guide focuses on Baghdad, Balad, Kirkut, Mosel and Fallujah. The information is updated monthly by our war correspondents and provides information which is well beyond the scope of what you can get just from phoning a friend. Future editions on Syria, Iran and North Korea are in the works. |

This kiosk provides battle operations plans for training exercises at local training areas. Situational Training Exercises (STX) provide an excellent environment for the simultaneous performance of multiechelon training activities to evaluate and to sustain the skills of soldiers, leaders, teams, staffs, and units. Exercises simulate battle conditions to train leaders under mission-unique conditions and standards for applying the best tactics, techniques, and procedures to the unit METT-T. Some exercises use minimal troop support in providing commanders and staffs realistic practice in executing wartime missions. Other exercises combine units, including other services, to train critical teamwork and synchronization skills. |
| An integral part of sustainment gunnery plan involves the use of a Tank Crew Proficiency Course
(TCPC). TCPC is essentially a dry-fire, full rehearsal of Tank gunnery, including situational malfunctions.
TCPC is typically executed after numerous classes on preliminary gunnery subjects such as target
acquisition, engagement techniques, fire commands, and misfire procedures. Upon completion of the
classes, the unit conducts a diagnostic and record TCGST . This kiosk provides information on tasks,
including gun lay, tracking, fire commands, engagement techniques, berm drills (driving techniques),
shooting in a simulated NBC environment, thermal sight usage, range determination, and target (fire)
adjustment. Upon completion of the TCPC, the battalion and company master gunners can determine which
crews are not as strong as other crews in their crew skills. These crews (usually the newer crews)
are identified and were sent to further utilize the Conduct of Fire Trainer ( COFT ). This gives
each of the weaker crews additional training prior to qualification. |

ROE are (DOD) Directives issued by competent military authority that delineate the circumstances and limitations under which United States forces will initiate and/or continue combat engagement with other forces encountered.
Critical to survival and understanding the laws of war, the ROE is a fundamental component of training for low intensity to high intensity conflicts.
Examples are typically classified, but this kiosk, when tied to a secured network, provides all of the information required. |
