Risk Management
24
Risk Management

• Risk Assessments are living documents. They
  must be continually reviewed and updated.
• - Have the cumulative weather and training over
  a three day period on the RA.
• This must be updated.
• - Have the CASEVAC plan AND rehearse the plan
  no finger drill.
• - Medium and High Risk ranges must be to me
  three weeks before the event.
• - Review risk at the daily coordination meeting.
• - Use the Risk Mitigation Worksheet for all high
  risk ranges and FTXs
• - Read and use the Brigade Risk Advisory in
  planning
• May to September is the most dangerous time of
  BCT because of the heat. FM6 is a
• High Risk training event.
• FM at night or early morning.
• Force hydration and rest the night before are
  key before strenuous training events.
• PCIs!!! Leaders check all canteens before and
  during training.
• On FMs, Drill Sergeant per platoon will carry a
  collapsible cooler with ice sheets.
• CLS bags will be inventoried before every
  training event (ensure scissors are
• available to cut clothes of Soldiers experiencing
  heat stroke, etc)
• Commanders will plan and synchronize hydration
  points during FM.
• FLAK vest and IBA increase temp by five degrees.
• When in doubt, apply ice sheets cut the
  clothes off! Ice sheets in platoon PBs

Work/Rest and Water Consumption Table Applies to
average sized, heat-acclimated soldier wearing
BDU, hot weather. (See TB MED 507 for further
guidance)

• The work/rest times and fluid replacement volumes
  and hydration for at least 4 hrs of work in the
  specified heat category. Fluid needs can vary
  based on individual differences ( ¼ qt/hr) and
  exposure to full sun or full shade (1/4 qt/hr).
• NLno limit to work time per hr.
• Restminimal physical activity (sitting or
  standing) accomplished in shade if possible.
• CAUTION Hourly fluid intake should not exceed 1
  ½ qts.
• Daily fluid intake should not exceed 12 qts.
• If wearing body armor, add 5o to WBGT index in
  humid climates.
• If doing Easy Work and wearing NBC (MOPP 4)
  clothing, add 10o to WBGT index.
• If doing Moderate or Hard Work and wearing NBC
  (MOPP 4) clothing, add 20o to WBGT index.

Heat Injury Prevention Best Practices

• Ensure that Drill Sergeants actively check
  Soldiers for signs of heat, during rest halts.
  Spot check using ear thermometer of suspect
  Soldiers.
• DS enforces and checks water consumption. Ogden
  cord, heat card, etc
• Ear thermometers to CLS bags.
• Ice sheets readily available (carried by DS on
  FM)
• Rehearse evacuation drills with cadre.
• Promptly use Ice Sheets for suspected heat
  injuries.
• When in doubt, evacuate.
• Do not underestimate the possibility of a
  worsening condition.
• When outside the cantonment area, use the LMR
  radio to notify Range Control for evacuation.
• Be alert for Soldiers who are so well motivated
  that they may put themselves at risk of heat
  injuries by being reluctant to report heat injury
  symptoms.

30
Physical Training and Foot Marching
31
Physical Training

• One my Top Five training events.
• Communications and MEDEVAC Every AGR group
  will have hand helds with comms to the 1SG
• And they will either have cell phones or Motorola
  with comms to range control so they can call
• EMS. AGR leaders will know location of ice
  sheets. CLS bags will be inventoried have
• Thermometer, scissors, IV, etc.
• DS and cadre execute PT with Soldiers. 1-2 DS
  monitor and the rest execute. Switch out DS.
• Do the PT in front of the Soldiers, not behind.
  Compete with them.
• AGRs must run at the assigned pace.
  Commanders/1SG will certify AGR leaders on pace.
• Maintain straggler control. 1SG is responsible
  for accountability (think CASEVAC Opns).
• No mobs get fall-out Soldiers in formation. A
  Group must have three DS.
• 815 pace and slower will remain in step with DS
  maintaining cadence.
• CD2 Weeks 1-2 use moderate cadence for pullups
  and leg tucks. Starting Week 3 Soldiers
• max out reps. Make this a competition.
• CD2 Split platoons in two groups. One group
  does bar work and the other group does abs and
• push ups.
• Speedwork. Instead of 30/60s, 60/120s, run
  intervals with C D grp on the track (110 200m
  or
• and 215 400m for females and 100 200m and 150
  400m for males). Execute hill repeats and
• Fartlek runs for A and B groups. Consider
  executing a two mile time trial every other week.
  
• Bayonet Assault and FTW are speed days. Run the
  courses multiple times.

PT Uniform Guidelines
 
Wind Chill Chart
Actual Thermometer Readings (F)

• Notes for Commanders and Leaders
• The following PT uniform guidelines provide an
  additional
• tool for you to use during mission analysis and
  risk
• management.
• Ultimately, you remain the decision-making
  authority and
• retain final responsibility for the well-being
  and safety of
• your soldiersyoure the one with them on the
  ground.
• - Rule of Thumb When everything else fails,
  common
• sense must prevail. Remember, if youre hot,
  your soldiers
• are frying. If youre cold, your soldiers are
  freezing.
• - Make the right call for your soldiers.

Foot Marching

• All foot marches are tactical - this includes FM
  1-4. FM 1-2 is a leader teach. FM 3-6 is
• DS/Soldier led.
• Focus of training is teaching the collective task
  of Foot March. Its no longer required to
• have OPFOR, contact, etc during FMs. However,
  FRAGOs will be issued with checkpoints, etc.
• Soldiers will be required to report checkpoints,
  etc. Leaders will have maps with the routes.
• As often as possible, execute FMs by platoon.
• PCIs/PCCs are critical. Every leader checks
  canteens (by touch) before moving out.
• There are no longer administrative foot marches.
  All foot marches will be preceded by
• a FRAGO and an enemy situation will be associated
  with the scenario. NO OPFOR required.
• Actions at halts need improvement, as well.
  Conduct halts in areas where Soldiers can find
• cover. Always have one Soldier pulling security.
  
• During FMs, Soldier-Leaders will be required to
  carry a map and be able to tell the DS
• where the unit is at all times. The map will
  have checkpoints, phaselines, etc and the
• Soldier-Leader will be required to call in the
  checkpoints, etc.
• SINCGARS will be carried on the FM (e.g. RTO).
  RTO/Leader will report to higher HQ.
• Leaders must monitor pace. The pace is106 steps
  per minute or 20 minutes per mile.
• Have control measures that monitor this.
• First 45 minutes walk take 15 minute break.
  Thereafter, walk 50 minutes take 10 minute
• break. Check all canteens (2qt 1qt) and
  Soldier status heat injury, feet, etc

Weapons Immersion

• Issue Weapons with empty magazine by Day 3 of
  BCT. They will carry the weapon w/ magazine
• at an Amber Status at all times.
• The battalion area will be FOB Falcon. 
  Companies will designate one entry and one exit
  point
• for their unit ... you  will leave and return to
  the FOB from that one point (e.g. Victory Tower,
  all
• Ranges). Magazines will be inserted into weapons
  upon leaving. Upon returning, all Soldiers will
• clear weapons at the point and magazines will be
  removed.  Soldiers will not have magazines in
• Weapons in the FOB. Weapons will be cleared
  prior to entering the DFAC, even though
• there isn't a magazine and the weapon has already
  been cleared.  There is no requirement to
• clear weapons before entering the barracks or the
  classrooms. 
• Teach Guard Duty 1 and RM 1 w/ weapons handling
  on Day 3.
• Clearing barrels and clearing procedure
  instructions will be at the entrance to the
  barracks.
• Upon returning to the company area after
  training outside battalion (Victory Tower, NBC,
  etc)
• weapons will be cleared before entering building.
• Start teaching Soldiers Weapons Status during
  Red Phase
• - Red Weapon on safe, no magazine in weapon.
• - Amber Weapon on safe, magazine inserted.
• - Green Weapon on safe, locked and loaded.
• Weapons will be carried a port arms when
  marching in formation and at the low ready at
  all
• other times. No at ease march for any reason.

40
Weapons Handling

• Proper weapons handling is the mark of a
  Warrior and a critical task.
• Strictly enforce clearing procedures and
  maintaining weapon on safe.
• Low ready on all ranges, to include BRM ranges.
  Re-enforce during all training.
• Abolish Weapons Up and Down Range from our
  professional vernacular. Its now Weapons
• at the low ready pointed away from friendly
  personnel.
• Low ready is more than pointing the weapon at
  the ground. The weapon must be on safe and
• finger is out of the trigger well.
• Correct malfunction and remedial action is a
  primary training focus. Use the "dummy rounds" as
  
• much as possible and continue to drill the
  Soldiers - enforce correct performance and speed.
• Practice loading, magazine change and selector
  switch manipulation.
• Magazines are in the pouches on ranges and
  during training. Do not have Soldiers carrying
• magazines in one hand while carrying the weapon.
• Tap forward assist. Look page 5-58 of the SMART
  Book. It states that soldiers should tap the
• forward assist when chambering a round (both from
  the open bolt or closed bolt position).

41
Bayonet Training

• Bayonet Training is a Warrior Ethos training
  event and it familiarizes Soldiers with
• employment of the bayonet.
• Bayonet 1-3, Bayonet Assault and Pugil Sticks
  will be completed in one day. Training starts
• at 0630 NO CD1/CD2 on this day.
• During pugil sticks, use a scoring system that
  awards points for properly executed
• bayonet techniques, e.g. thrust, buttstroke and
  slash. Also, emphasize aggressiveness.
• My guidance on BAC is that you certify on the
  Dunlop Dummies and execute BAC
• to standard with the focus on aggressiveness. NO
  SCORING REQUIRED. However, Soldiers
• will execute task (parry, thrust, etc) to
  standard before they leave the station.
• Execute BAC with the FLAK/IBA.
• Soldiers never purposely lose control of their
  weapon, e.g. log walk.

NBC 1 2

• Execute NBC 1 2 on the same day. Ensure you
  pre-teach mask maintenance. Coordinate
• with the NBC committee.

Unarmed Combat

• Like Bayonet Training, UAC is a Warrior Ethos
  training event.
• Execute UAC 1-3 in one day.
• Execute UAC sustainment once a week. Ideally,
  conduct UAC sustainment after a MS PT day.
• However, if time does not allow UAC to be
  conducted immediately after PT schedule it at
  another time.
• UAC Sustainment has to be on the training
  schedule

42
First Aid and CASEVAC

• First Aid and CASEVAC are one of my Top Five.
  Train Evaluate a Casualty, Treat Bleeding
• Extremity and Transport Casualty every STX
  these must be continually evaluated.
• Use Moulage Kits for all casualty play. DS
  carries a moulage and places it on the casualty
  this
• must be a battle drill.
• Continue to use the MILES card for all STX
  training.
• I want the SKEDCOs and poleless litters used as
  a part of CASEVAC training. At least one
• casualty per STX must be evacuated using either a
  litter or buddy carry. Do not allow these
• Casualties to limp off the battle field they
  must be carried at least 100 meters.
• Use SINCGARS to call in 9 Line MEDEVAC.
• First Aid 1 2

• First Aid cadre will teach
• - Evaluate a Casualty
• - Manage an Airway
• - Control Bleeding
• Perform CPR.
• Drill Sergeants will be required to teach
• Splint a Fracture
• Transport a Casualty
• - Perform Tactical Combat Casualty Care
• - Apply Field Sanitation and Preventive Medicine
  Field Craft Measures

43
React to Contact/Move under Direct Fire Training

• React to Contact and Move Under Direct Fire
  Training is one of my top training priorities. By
  the
• end of Red Phase, upon contact, I want Soldiers
  to instinctively return fire and immediately
• seek cover using the proper individual movement
  technique. This must be sustained throughout
• BCT.
• When teaching react to contact, use an Omega
  Squad. Demonstrate what right looks like to
• the Soldiers using DS and cadre.
• Train at short distance 50-100m and re-train to
  standard before introducing longer movements.
• We must pre-teach BTT (Basic Tactical Training)
  3 and a portion of BTT 2 prior or during Red
• Phase STX. Consider conducting concurrent
  training on these tasks at Land Navigation 4 and
• the Combat Teamwork Development Course.
• BTT 2 training focus includes
• Enabling Learning Objective A - Prepare for
  Combat
• Enabling Learning Objective B - Camouflage
  yourself and your individual equipment
• Enabling Learning Objective C - Select temporary
  fighting positions.
• BTT 3 training focus includes
• Enabling Learning Objective A - Use Visual
  Signaling Techniques
• Enabling Learning Objective B - Move over,
  through, or around obstacles

44
Land Navigation

• In addition to the land navigation tasks
  associated with the Falcon Five, I want to
  re-test
• Soldiers until they pass day land navigation.
• Execute day and night land navigation in buddy
  teams.
• Red White Phase STX and Victory Forge STX must
  have lanes that require Soldiers to
• determine grids, azimuths and land navigate to
  objectives, etc.

Hand Grenade Distance and Accuracy

• Identify all weak grenade throwers early in Red
  Phase.
• Execute grenade immersion and teach Soldiers how
  to employ a grenade properly.
• They must be able to throw a grenade 15 meters
  by Remagen.

Drill and Ceremony

• Drill and Ceremony is a means to develop
  discipline. Execute DC 1 through 7. Conduct a
• Platoon DC competition by the end of cycle near
  or in Blue phase. Make this a streamer
• event.
• - Drill after PT when executing the cool downs.
  This is a great time to work
• marching movements, etc.
• - Company commanders must be training aides for
  React to Officer. I have found
• that Soldiers are not very proficient at
  rendering a hand salute (because they always have
• Weapons).

Values Training

• Decrease the classroom hours for Values Training
  to only the Commander and 1SG in brief.
• Discuss values and Warrior Ethos everyday before
  or after PT.
• Soldiers recite the Soldiers Creed everyday
  before PT.

45
Combat Teamwork Development Course

• 2-39 IN conducts two types of teamwork
  development courses. The first is the course
  that
• is locked in at scheduling and the second is
  CTDC, which is executed by the company at a
• Location of their choosing (e.g. Hilton Field,
  company/battalion area).
• Using the guidance in this SOP, commanders
  develop and execute the training.
• The intent of the CTDC is to develop teamwork
  through an event that is physically and mentally
• challenging. It is also an opportunity to
  re-enforce basic skills (e.g. first aid, commo,
  land nav,
• weapons tasks, NBC, etc).
• Using various materials (e.g. water cans, ammo
  cans, SKEDCOs, tires),
• teams are required to move the material in a
  manner stated in a fragmentary order to
• designated location along the route. The teams
  must determine the best method to move the
• Items in the most expeditious time. Along the
  route, Soldiers are also tested on designated
• basic tasks.
• This is a competition ideally, a streamer is
  awarded to the best sqaud. Teams are awarded
• points for both speed and the ability of their
  team Members to successfully meet the standards
• for basic skills testing.
• Soldiers are given a FRAGO with a sketch of the
  course the night prior to the event. They
• Develop courses of action based on that FRAGO.
  The next day they may recon the route
• To confirm their COA.
• Its imperative that commanders develop systems
  for scoring.

• After each phase of training, Soldiers will be
  evaluated on their ability to perform specific
• individual tasks. These are Tier 1 2 tasks
  that I believe all Soldiers should know before
  they
• leave BCT. They will be taught all tasks per the
  POI, but I believe they should be able to retain
• and perform without refresher upon graduation.
  The tasks are evaluated in the patrol bases
  during
• Victory Forge and the Phase STX. Failure to be
  able to perform these tasks may result in
• New Start. These tasks by phase are.

• White Phase
• - Maintain an M16A2
• - Correct a Malfunction on an M16A2
• - Perform Functions Check on an M16A2
• Move under Direct Fire/Select Temporary

  Azimuth
• - Evaluate Casualty/ - Prevent/Control Shock
• Treat a Bleeding Extremity
• - Select Temp Fighting Position - Operate a M249

• Perform Functions Check - Send MEDEVAC
• React to Chemical Attack - Splint a Fracture
• Move under Direct Fire

48
Field Craft and Priorities of Work

• We start teaching Soldiers Field Craft in Red
  Phase STX and the process is continued throughout
• the cycle through Victory Forge.
• Stand-to is an element of field craft and
  security operations. Soldiers will pack up all
  their gear
• prior to stand-to and at stand-to units will be
  at 100 security. Priorities of work will begin
  after
• stand-to is complete.
• Security will be maintained during POW one
  Soldier pulls security while the other executes
  the
• POW. Chow is a POW. No units will eat in mass
  while in an FTX security will be maintained.
  This
• also means the Soldier will be in the proper
  uniform during POW.
• Priorities of work are as follows
• Weapons Maintenance
• PT Pushups and Situps, Run-in-Place
• Personal Hygiene/Re-apply camoflague
• Chow
• Position improvement/police calll
• Soldiers will keep their weapon at arms length
  at all times. They may sling their weapon.
• Soldiers will re-apply camoflague
• Poncho hooches will be at a low shillhouette and
  taken down at stand-to.
• Security will be maintained throughout the
  night. Percentage of security is up to the DS,
  but
• Soldiers must remain alert.

General BRM Guidance

• The standard is that all Soldiers are qualified
  by the end of day on the final qualification
  period.
• The goal is that 50 of the Soldiers are
  Sharpshooter and above and the remainder of the
• Soldiers are high marksman. 23 and go is not
  sufficient.
• Commanders and 1SG you must be actively involved
  in training the DS to be a good coach
• especially during RM1-13. Identify your
  hardcores early short Soldiers and C/D group
  runners.
• Get Soldiers on their elbows early.
• BRM is as much psychological as it is
  mechanical. Soldiers will not wear Kevlar covers
  until
• after they qualify. This is not a punishment,
  rather the COVER should be sold as if it were
• the Medal of Honor. DS must make sure Soldiers
  are relaxed.
• All BRM training is executed with IBA
• RM 2/3 focus on the EST1 and meeting the
  standard. This is your first look at identifying
  
• the "hardcores." Ensure you make the Soldiers
  use the selector switch.
• RM4/ RM 5The zero is the key. This must be
  scrutinized. 1SG checks the all zero cards.
• The goal is 5 out of 6 in the lower half 4m
  circle. Dont make sight corrections in the
  unsupported
• position only supported. Goal is 100 zeroed.

• RM 6 and EST2 Start teaching adjusted point of
  aim. Remedial training starts in earnest on RM6.
• Remedial Training Battle Drill Remedial
  stations will be set up prior to the start of the
  range
• and ran through the conclusion of training. Use
  3 x 5 card technique DS on lane IDs problem
• on 3 x 5 card. Soldier takes 3 x 5 card to DS at
  remedial training station. DS puts Soldier on
• Station that pertains to the problem.
• EST 2 Single, Multiples and Qualification
• Put adjusted point of aim on the mouse trap and
  use Beam Hit.
• Field Fire Shoot 9 once and 10 as many times
  as possible. Make sure Soldiers are scanning.

56
General BRM Guidance

• Drill Sergeant Certification
• Drill Sergeants certification should consist of a
  1 day training event at EST 2000 learning the
  computer basics and each of the EST periods.
  This should also include how to retrieve
  historical data for AARs and remedial training.
• It is imperative that 11B Drill Sergeants or
  those trained in the Master Gunner Program
  instruct other Drill Sergeants on proper firing
  positions and techniques.
• All Drill Sergeants qualify with IBA on the new
  qualification table. Ensure DS zero with weapon
  prior to qualification

• BRM Fundamentals and Training
• Fitting of IBA is key!!!! If required,
  coordinate for additional small IBAs with sister
  companies.
• For RM 6-13, pre-position IBA at firing points
  and have Soldiers put on the correct sized IBA
  there.
• Spend the time during pre-BRM training in Red
  Phase fitting the IBA properly to each soldier.
• Remove neck piece from the IBA.
• Have female Soldiers braid hair or cut it.
• Tighten webbing in Kevlar to keep the helmet
  higher on the head. This will help keep the brim
  of the Kevlar from being pushed over the
  Soldiers eyes.
• Soldiers practice traversing with IBA in the
  prone supported and unsupported using ALT-C
  targets as concurrent training throughout BRM.
• Enforce the proper knee/elbow alignment in the
  kneeling position to reduce muscle fatigue.
• Modify qualification to 20rds prone supported,
  10rds kneeling unsupported, and 10rds kneeling
  supported.
• Do not wear IBA on the range unless on the
  firing line when the weather is HEAT CAT 3 or
  above.

57
General BRM Guidance

• BRM Fundamentals and Training
• The key is to conduct as many BRM instruction
  periods with IBA as possible prior to beginning
  White Phase. We conducted training on the prone
  and kneeling positions in the IBA as often as
  possible to prepare the Soldiers for future
  training and to create muscle memory.
• Elbow pads will be helpful from the beginning.
• Conduct dime/washer in both the prone unsupported
  and kneeling unsupported positions.
• Conduct beam hit in kneeling also.
• Train with ALT-C targets to practice traversing
  during pre-BRM classes. Traversing in the prone
  (especially prone supported) was a problem that
  revealed itself throughout training.
• Use primary EST buildings for RM2-3. Dont go to
  R2. Use at least two buildings.
• During RM 4 and 5 remove V notch stakes and
  fire at 25m. Replace stakes after firing.
• Group and zero with IBA in prone supported.
• When possible zero Soldiers on RM4. Focus shifts
  of hardcores. The key is to get everyone zeroed
  on RM5. Teach sight adjustments, but DS can
  adjust to expedite.
• LOMAH (RM6) Fire all positions.
• EST 2 is an all day event and continue to use
  three buildings to maximize training.
• Modify the Field Fire 12 scenarios for the EST
  2000 based on the 3-position live fire scenarios
  we used at RM 910.
• Load the 3-position qualification scenario on to
  all EST computers.

58
Qualification Guidance

• The intent is not to simply get Soldiers
  qualified. It is to make the Soldiers experts
  with their
• Weapon. The standard is that all Soldiers are
  qualified by the end of day on the final
  qualification period. The goal is that 50 of
  the Soldiers are Sharpshooters or above and the
• Remainder are high marksman.
• No PT morning of RM 13. Early move and do it
  the afternoon. Ensure Soldiers get good sleep
  and hydrate the night before.
• Recon range before execution. Grass cutting,
  new target change out, etc
• Must ensure the range has the new strategy
  in-put into the computer!
• The XO is in the tower on RM13 to track scores,
  etc. Max DS on the ground.
• Maintain computer-generated score sheets.

Qualification Periods

• Soldiers will have the opportunity to qualify
  starting with BRM Period 11 through 13.
• Soldiers will shoot at least three times (a
  minimum of once each day) during the
  qualification periods (11 through 13).
• If a Soldier qualifies as Marksman the first
  day and Sharpshooter the second day, the
  Soldier will be designated as a Sharpshooter. If
  on the final qualification day the Soldier shoots
  Experts, the Soldier will designated an
  Expert. The Soldier keeps the highest
  designation achieved during the qualification
  periods.

Advanced Rifle Marksmanship

• Advanced Rifle Marksmanship (ARM) training
  consists of four training periods
• ARM 1 Intro to Quick Fire and boresighting
  procedures for the M68 and PAQ4A.
• ARM 2 Zero the M68 and PAQ4A (Soldiers are
  familiarized and DS executes the zero)
• ARM 3 Engage targets with the M68 and PAQ4A (Day
  and night on a qual range or R9,11)
• ARM 4 Reflexive fire with the M68 and PAQ4A (on
  R7/8 both day and night)
• My intent is to familiarize the Soldiers with
  the optics. The bottomline is that I want them
  to
• know how to mount the optics, zero/boresight the
  optics, employ the optics from the kneeling,
• prone unsupported and supported, and employ the
  optics using Reflexive Fire.
• More importantly, I want the Soldiers to learn
  advanced rifle marksmanship techniques, becoming
  experts with their weapons. These techniques are
  re-enforced throughout BCT, teaching the Soldier
  how to fire from all positions. During STX and
  MILES training, I want the Soldier to be
  confident to shoot while moving, as well (we will
  not teach this in live fire, however).
• I want Soldiers to be able to execute down
  weapon drills (taking a knee weapon down),
  conduct rapid magazine changes, correcting
  malfunctions, employ scanning techniques and
  quickly engage an identified enemy.
