Mortar Training Session

22-July-2018 Mortar Training Session

RSVP (Regs+ only) is capped at 2 (TWO) due to how much will need to be taught. I will most likely NOT bring in any extras. Leave your name in the comments if you want but do not expect to be brought in unless there is a no-show; I won't be holding your RSVPs past the start time so either be early or be on time.  It is highly recommended you have at least a basic understanding of how to use the 82mm Rangetable, either through reading the Mortar Guide or going through the paces on your own in the editor/server.

Topics covered:

• Roles and Responsibilities
• Basic Long Range Communications & Fire Missions
• Equipment (Types of mortar and the gear to use one effectively)
• Operating the mortar (Ranging, Calculating, Understanding)
• 82mm Rangetable

Intent:

1. Theoretical stuff
2. Take turns as Gunner and LOADER (or just sit around and watch them miss if we use the BAF ones :>), firing at targets indicated
3. Work together as Gunner and Assistant to carry out fire missions (Can count as exam if requested, otherwise can schedule one at a later date)
