Notes Table II:

1. Students use the CCO for all phases in this table. Students without a CCO equipped weapon use iron sights or the DOS iron sights (Designated Marksman and authorized DOS users).

2. Students using the CCO turn the elevation adjustment screw clockwise (down) four (4) clicks after completing Table I and before starting Table II. This adds the 1.5cm offset needed for combat zero. The CCO on assigned (including deploying) weapons should remain at this setting, training weapons may be returned to 25m zero after firing.

2.11. Course Information, Rifle/Carbine AFQC.

2.11.1. Targets for the Course:

2.11.1.1. Target “Z” is the M16A2 (National Stock Number [NSN] 6920-01-167-1392) or M16A2/M4 25-meter zero target (NSN 6920-01-395-2949 or NSN 6920-01-482- 0098). In Phase II of Table I, individuals using the M68 zero the optic to hit point of aim, for accomplishment of the 25-meter reduced silhouette portion of the course. After completing Table I and before starting Table II, students using the M68 turn the elevation adjustment screw clockwise (down) four (4) clicks. This procedure adds the 1.5cm offset needed for combat zero. The M68 should remain at this setting for individually assigned or deploying weapons. Instructors may direct students with training weapons to return the M68 to the 25m zero setting after firing.

2.11.1.2. Target Military “E” is the kneeling silhouette target (NSN 6920-00-600-6874) with a 10-inch lethal (chest) and a 6-inch incapacitation (head) zone added. Before conducting firing on Table II of the course, prepare Military “E” silhouette targets as follows. Draw a 10-inch circle in the center of the chest and a 6-inch circle on the center of the head of the target. Locate the circles on the Military “E” target as shown in Figure

2.1 Center the 10-inch circle on the target with the top edge of the circle 13-1/4 inches from the top of the head of the target and center the 6-inch circle in the head of the target with the top of the circle 3 inches below the top of the target. To simplify marking targets, Combat Arms may create a template using plywood, plastic, cardboard or other material.

4.9. Course Information, Handgun Basic Arms Training (BAT) Course.

4.9.1. Targets for the course: If available use of the Denver Police Training Target (DPTT) with a head target of approximately 4 inches, a center mass target of approximately 11 inches by 8 inches and a pelvic girdle of approximately 5 inches by 13 inches as indicated at Figure

4.1 Until these targets are available or if they become unavailable, use the Military "E" target facer (NSN 6920-00-600-6874) and/or Military "E" target backer (NSN 6920-00-795- 1806) modified as outlined in paragraph 4.9.1.1 and Figure 4.2 Targets may need to be hung lower to avoid shooting overhead baffles and/or target holders. Note: The supported AFOSI detachment is responsible for obtaining the DPTT and providing them to Combat Arms. (T- 2).

4.9.1.1. Modify the Military "E" target or Military "E" target backer as follows. The circles drawn on the Military “E” target/backer are in chalk or a visible white marking. A 10-inch circle is drawn at the top of the target and centered with the top edge of the circle 13 ¼ inches from the top edge of target. In addition to the 10-inch circle, draw three 6-inch circles on the target. The first 6-inch circle is located approximately 3 ¾ inches from the top edge of the head of the target (facial area). The remaining two 6-inch circles are located as follows: one in the lower right pelvic region area and one in the lower left pelvic region area (circles in bottom right and bottom left corners of the target) as

86 AFMAN36-2655 12 AUGUST 2016

indicated in Figure 4.2. Combat Arms may wish to prepare templates to simplify the target modification process.

4.9.2. Evaluation Standards:

4.9.2.1. Qualified: 30 hits inside circle areas (60%).

4.9.2.2. Expert: 45 hits inside or touching the line of the circle areas (90%).

4.9.2.3. The below paragraphs identify the maximum number of hits allowed in each target area. Instructors score any excessive hits in any of the target areas as misses.

4.9.2.3.1. Thoracic Cavity (Center Circle) - 44.

4.9.2.3.2. Head - 2 (only shots fired in Order 4 are counted).

4.9.2.3.3. Pelvic Girdle - 4 (only shots fired in Order 6 are counted).

4.9.2.3.4. Bullet holes that touch the line of the circle are counted as a hit.

4.9.3. Course Notes:

4.9.3.1. Common Notes:

4.9.3.1.1. WARNING: Range personnel closely observe students during dry-fire and live-fire to ensure they properly control their weapon and do not allow the muzzle to point at themselves, other students or in any unsafe direction. Any students who cannot safely perform all tasks will not be allowed to complete live-fire. (T-1).

4.9.3.1.2. There is no zeroing or practice order; however, instructors check bullet impact and discuss the adjusted aiming point method if the point of impact is substantially off the vital area of the target and is not caused by shooter error, e.g., jerking the trigger, flinching, etc.

4.9.3.1.3. Start each order or string of fire with a round in the chamber and the hammer decocked (in forward/down position). Students fire the first round in each order or string of fire from double action. To ensure consistency, the “Field Interview Stance” (placing hands in belt buckle area) is only used as a starting point (to ensure consistency) for each student prior to drawing the weapon from the holster.

4.9.3.1.4. Students wear a jacket concealing the holstered weapon. Drawing from a concealed carry is mandatory.

4.9.3.1.5. This course is specifically designed for a student utilizing a belt holster.

This course is just as effective for students using an approved “cross-draw” shoulder holster providing they undergo extensive practice with their shoulder holster (AFOSI personnel transitioning from a belt holster to a shoulder holster must meet the requirements outlined in AFOSIMAN 71-113, Firearms, Use of Force and Apprehension Tactics).

4.9.3.1.5.1. Individuals authorized to use an approved “cross-draw” shoulder holster are not allowed to fire with students using “normal” hip type holsters.

When firing with shoulder holsters, individuals are positioned on every other firing point.
