=Directions=: The firers will represent two separate units in neighbouring localities of a defensive position. The target on Tier A (right section) will first be exposed for ten seconds. After a pause, both targets on Tier A will be exposed together for ten seconds. After a pause the targets on Tier A (right section) and Tier B will be exposed together for ten seconds. =Particulars=: The enemy at 1,200 yards is difficult to discern owing to background and undergrowth, and the defence know that he is close to a covered approach which will bring him to 1,000 yards of their line. =Criticism=: (i) _Justification for Opening Fire_: (_a_) By both units on first exposure of 800 yards’ target; (_b_) by both units on exposure of 1,200 yards target. (ii) _Choice of Targets and Mutual Support_: By left unit on simultaneous exposure of 1,200 and 800 yards targets. (iii) _Rate of Fire_: (_a_) By both units on first exposure of 800 yards target; (_b_) by left unit at 1,000 yards target. (iv) _Concentration and Distribution of Fire_: By left unit at 1,000 yards target. (v) _Results of Firing._ =No. 2.= =Object=: Test of fire direction by auxiliary aiming-marks (aiming-off). =Target=: A point on the scenery indicated to unit commander as concealing enemy’s machine-gun at 1,400 yards. =Directions=: Commander is ordered to open fire at once, allowing one, two, or three fingers’ breadths for the deflection of right-angle winds of varying strength from left or right. He will select auxiliary aiming-marks for direction of fire and aiming-off under a time limit. =Criticism=: _Choice of description-point. Clearness of fire orders. Quick opening and rate of fire. Results of firing._ =No. 3.= =Object=: Test of fire direction by anticipatory orders. =Directions=: A variety of targets and tactical schemes may be employed for this practice, which may also be made to combine fire and movement. For example, the firers may represent a force in pursuit of retreating troops, and run 100 yards in intervals of firing to represent an advance. At the end of movement prearranged crossing and disappearing targets will be exposed or moved at points previously known to commander, who will indicate them to men, telling them to open fire when target appears without further orders. To develop individual judgment, men will be made to use their judgment in applying fire according to nature and importance of targets. =Criticism:=: _Recognition of targets. Quick opening of fire. Application of fire as to rate, volume, concentration, or distribution according to nature of target. Fire discipline._ =No. 4.= =Object:=: Test of individual judgment in applying rapid fire. =Targets=: Tier A (left section), infantry line standing, extended order, 600 yards. Line of head and shoulder figures 400 yards on right section. Tier B, dense line standing figures, 400 yards, or strip of cardboard of same measurements.
