PROGRAMS. REF B IS MARADMIN 295/08, AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT TABLE
1 AND TABLE 2 WITH RIFLE COMBAT OPTIC DURING ANNUAL RIFLE TRAINING
AND QUALIFICATION//
GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. BACKGROUND. REF A OUTLINES THE CONDUCT OF
EXECUTING COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING FOR ALL MARINES. REF B
AUTHORIZED COMMANDERS TO ALLOW MARINES TO CONDUCT TABLE 1 AND TABLE
2 ANNUAL RIFLE TRAINING (ART) WITH THE RIFLE COMBAT OPTIC (RCO) AND
OTHER MODULAR ATTACHMENTS, BUT REQUIRED THE SHOOTER TO BE RUN AS
EXEMPT FOR ANNUAL QUALIFICATION VICE RECORDING THE SCORE IN MCTFS.
THAT POLICY PENALIZED MARINES AND COMMANDERS FOR TRAINING MORE
REALISITICALLY FOR COMBAT. THIS MARADMIN CHANGES THAT POLICY AND
MANDATES THAT SCORES BE RECORDED IN MCTFS WHETHER THE MARINE TRAINS
WITH IRON SIGHTS OR THE RCO. THIS MARADMIN CANCELS REF B.
2. IMPLEMENTATION. BEGINNING 1 OCTOBER 2008, MARINES CONDUCTING
ART ARE REQUIRED TO SHOOT TABLE 1 AND TABLE 2 WITH ALL MODULAR
ATTACHMENTS TO THE SERVICE RIFLE AND CARBINE FOR WHICH THEY HAVE
BEEN EQUIPPED. THESE MODULAR ATTACHMENTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT
LIMITED TO, THE RIFLE COMBAT OPTIC, LASER AIMING DEVICES, AND
VERTICAL FOREGRIP. ONCE FIRING IS COMPLETE, THE FINAL SCORES WILL
BE REPORTED INTO MCTFS.
A. THE 0930 RANGE OFFICERS IN CHARGE OF EACH MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING
SITE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING AND SUBMITTING PERFORMANCE
DATA ON MARINES CONDUCTING TABLES 1 AND 2 WITH RCOS TO THE
MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAM MANAGEMENT SECTION (MPMS) AT THE MARKSMANSHIP
CENTER OF EXCELLENCE IN ORDER TO ANALYZE THE EFFECTS IN TRAINING
WITH THE RCOS DURING ART.
B. THERE IS A PERCEIVED SCORING ADVANTAGE WHEN SHOOTING WITH THE
RCO, HOWEVER, THE DATA AT THIS TIME IS VERY LIMITED IN SCOPE.
THOUGH THE DATA IN THE NEAR FUTURE MAY SHOW A DEFINITE ADVANTAGE FOR
THOSE SHOOTERS USING THE RCO, AT THIS TIME THERE WILL BE NO
CONVERSION CHART OR POINT PENALTY ASSESSED TO SHOOTERS USING THE RCO.
3. REPORTING AND SCORING PROCEDURES. TABLE 1 AND TABLE 2 SCORES
WILL BE ENTERED INTO MCTFS AS PER REF A WHETHER CONDUCTED WITH IRON
SIGHTS OR RCOS. UNITS WILL NOT ENTER EXEMPTION CODES FOR MARINES
QUALIFYING WITH RCOS. COMMANDS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FIELDED THE RCO
AND ENTRY-LEVEL TRAINING SITES WILL CONTINUE TO CONDUCT TABLES 1 AND
2 WITH IRON SIGHTS AND HAVE SCORES REPORTED INTO MCTFS.
4. EXECUTION. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN AIMING AND
ZEROING (BETWEEN RCO AND IRON SIGHTS) MARINES EXECUTING ART WITH
RCO'S, WILL RECEIVE SEPARATE CLASSES DURING PREPARATORY TRAINING.
A. THE SEPARATE TRAINING PACKAGE (ART-A) WILL BE AVAILABLE TO
COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP TRAINERS TO DOWNLOAD FROM THE MPMS WEBSITE
(HTTPS):WWW.INTRANET.TECOM.USMC.MIL/SITES/WTBN/DOCTRINE/DEFAULT.ASPX.
B. MARINES USING THE RCO WHILE EXECUTING TABLES 1 AND 2 SHOULD
USE THE SLING ISSUED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE UNIT (I.E. WEB, ONE POINT
OR THREE POINT). THE INTENT IS TO ALLOW MARINES TO TRAIN AND
QUALIFY WITH THE PRIMARY SIGHTING SYSTEM AND SLING SYSTEM TO GAIN
MORE CONFIDENCE WITH THE EQUIPMENT THEY WILL BE DEPLOYING WITH IN A
COMBAT ENVIRONMENT.
5. ADDRESS QUESTIONS TO MPMS, MARKSMANSHIP CENTER OF EXCELLENCE,
WEAPONS TRAINING BATTALION, QUANTICO, VIRGINIA.
TEL: DSN 278-5520 COM: (703) 784-5520.
