(ii) =Instruction in passing Fire Orders.=--Fire-units must be trained thoroughly in passing fire orders, and this duty should be practised during extended order drill, and later during manœuvre, when units are deployed, and especially when they are firing with blank cartridge, so as to accustom men to listening to orders and passing them while firing and in the noise it involves. In practising passing orders from man to man, an N.C.O. should be told off to record orders passed from man to man as received at the end of a line to check their accuracy. =8. Instruction on Miniature Ranges.=--Fire orders can be practised on the miniature range as described in Sec. 74, para. 4 (iii). Section =47=.--Fire Discipline. =1. Importance of Fire Discipline.=--If full effect is to be obtained from the results of fire, a high standard of fire discipline in men is as important as skilful direction and control of fire by commanders. =2. Qualities Necessary for Fire Discipline.=--Good fire discipline demands the following qualities in men: (i) Strict attention to the signals and orders of the commander, combined with intelligent observation of the enemy. (ii) Careful adjustment of the sight, economy of ammunition, and prompt cessation of fire when ordered or when the target disappears. (iii) Power to endure the enemy’s fire even when no reply is possible. (iv) A cool and intelligent use of the rifle when the commander can no longer exercise control. =3. Rules for Fire Discipline.=--In addition to the above qualities, men must be trained to carry out their duties according to the following rules: (_a_) In collective firing no man will fire until he clearly recognizes the target described by his commander, or without selecting a definite target in individual firing. (_b_) In collective firing every man will press his trigger independently. _Bursts of independent fire are more effective than volleys._ (_c_) As a rule fire should be delivered deliberately, but each man must always satisfy himself that every time he presses the trigger he will hit the object aimed at. (_d_) If rapid fire is ordered, every man will fire at his own best rate for combining rapidity with accuracy. (_e_) Each man will take care to pass orders carefully and accurately. (_f_) Each man will make the best use of ground and cover, _primarily to increase fire effect_, and secondarily for concealment and protection. He must remember that the most important requirement, when firing from behind cover, is the ability of a man to use his rifle to the best advantage, and that _his eyes must be kept on the enemy between shots to avoid losing sight of targets_. (_g_) _Each man must watch the front and remain alert and attentive while awaiting orders. He must open fire smartly when ordered to do so on such fleeting targets as troops in movement, and continue firing, unless otherwise ordered, while they present a favourable target during movement._
