Rifle Marksmanship Diagnostic and Training Guide (2011 CE)

This training manual provides weapons instructors with guidance in diagnosing and training basic IET level marksmanship. The manual is well illustrated and is easy to read and follow.

"A Rifle Marksmanship Diagnostic and Training Guide was developed to assist Army drill sergeants diagnose and train Soldiers in the Initial Entry Training (IET) environment.

The guide was based on subject matter expert input from the Infantry One Station Unit Training (OSUT) Brigade and the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU). These experts were interviewed to obtain effective training and diagnostic techniques and lessons learned through years of training IET Soldiers.

The guide integrates this information, sequences it according to the marksmanship program, and thoroughly illustrates the major training principles and lessons learned. All information supplements and complements the Army marksmanship field manual."

As a bonus, I have added links to a couple of B&W WW2 military training films. Perhaps because of their size, I wasn't able to upload them to the SM resources forum; so, interested individuals can download them directly from the Internet Archive Org website. Both make for interesting viewing by military history buffs.
