=Directions=: On the exposure of the target men will fire 5 rounds as rapidly as possible. The time taken by each man in firing 5 rounds will be checked. Accuracy must not be sacrificed for rapidity, and hits scored will be more important than the time taken in firing. =No. 7.= =Object=: To teach men to combine fire and movement. =Rounds=: 6 per man. =Targets=: Any of the following: (_a_) A row of Solano figures representing a line of loopholed head-cover entrenchments. (_b_) A row of 300 or 400 yards head-and-shoulder figures representing men firing from a bank or open trench. (_c_) A row of low bushes representing the line of a screened entrenchment. (_d_) A stone wall marked with loopholes or with head-and-shoulder figures exposed at intervals to represent men firing over it. (_e_) A row of houses defended from doors and windows. (_f_) Folds of ground, etc. =Directions=: The above targets, (_a_) to (_e_) inclusive, may be arranged on either tier; (_f_) will consist of features shown on the scenery itself. The firers will represent a firing-line advancing at close range. Firing will be carried out as follows: 2 rounds will be fired; the men will then run 50 yards and fire 2 more rounds, after which they will run 50 yards again and fire the last 2 rounds. =4. Fire Direction Practices= (Sec. 42, paras. 8 and 9, Sec. 47, paras. 2 to 4 inclusive, and Sec. 54, para. 3).--(i) Though officers and N.C.O.’s cannot be trained satisfactorily in the important duties of ranging on miniature ranges, much useful instruction can be carried out by fire direction practices on the target and landscapes, the object of which will be to teach fire-unit commanders and men to work together in some of the principal duties of fire direction, control, and discipline before proceeding to fire collective field practices. (ii) The object of these practices is to train fire-unit commanders to discern targets quickly, describe them accurately, and give clear, correct fire orders (Sec. 46, paras. 1 to 6 inclusive), and to train men to recognize targets, obey and pass fire orders. Both officers and men will previously have been trained to some extent in these duties. In fire direction practices they should be carried out as a whole under a time limit, reckoned from the appearance of the target to the end of firing or aiming in obedience to fire orders. The time limit should be decreased as progress is made. Observers should also be trained in their duties in these practices, which should be devised so as to train both fire-unit commanders and observers to watch for signals and maintain communication with neighbouring units (Sec. 42, para. 8 (ii) (_b_), and para. 9).
