What's inside:

This manual explains Bradley system gunnery doctrine and techniques. Operator's manuals cover everything else. Where procedures conflict, the readers should follow the ones in the technical manuals, because they can obtain priority updates for them.

Except as noted, this text refers not to published editions of ARTEPs, but to those posted in March 2000 (or later) to the Reimer Digital Library (RDL).

Every person who works in any way with BFVs should have access to this manual: commanders, staff, master gunners, and leaders at all levels. With it, they can develop gunnery programs to sustain combat readiness.

The crewmember will find specific information, but training managers and master gunners will find the information they need to develop BFV training. This includes--

• M2 and M3 Bradley gunnery theory, methods, and techniques.
• System features and capabilities.
• Gunnery training and evaluation at all levels.

The first eight chapters apply to all Bradleys. Subsequent chapters provide training strategies and advanced gunnery by MOS.

References to division commands and master gunners include enhanced or separate brigade commands and brigade master gunners. Double vertical lines in the margins (as shown for this paragraph) identify information that pertains only to the Bradley A3.

The original BFV models are the M2 Infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) and the M3 Cavalry fighting vehicle (CFV), both of which fielded in 1983. Later model numbers represent upgrades or differences in system configurations and capabilities. These include the following.

• M2 and M3
• M2A2 and M3A2
• M2A3 and M3A3
• M2A2 ODS, M2A2 ODS-E, M3A2 ODS
• M6 Linebacker
• M7 BFIST
