Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM)

From AAManual

By definition a Soldier must be able to fight. Your rifle is your weapon, and therefore you must qualify as a rifleman before you go into combat. The Basic Rifle Marksmanhip (BRM) mission begins with a briefing by your Drill Sergeant. FOLLOW HIS DIRECTIONS, or you will have to restart your training. You will pick up your weapon, prove that you are familiar with its basic operation and then proceed to the firing position. On the Drill Sergeant’s order, he will allow you to familiarize yourself with the M16A2 by firing in the standing, crouching and prone positions. Once you have expended all of your ammunition, the test will begin.

You will have 40 rounds of ammunition, and will be required to fire 20 shots in the supported prone position, 10 shots in the unsupported prone position and 10 shots from the kneeling position. Missed shots (e.g.: you missed the target, or didn’t shoot the target in time) will be counted against you. You will engage pop-up targets like before.

• To qualify as marksman, you must score a total of 23/40
• To receive the sharpshooter badge, you must score 30/40
• A score of 36 or more will give you the expert badge

Note: To qualify for Advanced Marksmanship Training, you must score 36 or more.
