FM 3-20.21 describes how crews, sections, platoons, and companies organic to the Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) and Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) train for combat weapon system proficiency. It provides principles and techniques for the individual, crew, section, platoon, and company to engage and destroy enemy targets efficiently in any given operational environment (OE).
FM 3-20.21 is designed for commanders, Master Gunners, and trainers of maneuver and sustainment units within the HBCT and ACR.
FM 3-20.21 outlines Abrams tank, Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV), and armored High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) gunnery tables (GT) designed for crew through company to attain and sustain tactical gunnery proficiency. Some operations will, at times, require maneuver units to operate independently at the section and platoon level, which may consist of a variety of task organizations that include but are not limited to tank/Bradley/armed HMMWV-pure sections and platoons or tanks, Bradleys, and/or armed HMMWVs combined, or tanks in support of infantry.
The tasks, conditions, and standards on the GTs are based on a thorough analysis of gunnery engagement factors and are based on actual hit or kill probabilities of threat versus U.S. platform weapons systems. Most of the tasks can be found in the related military occupational specialty (MOS) Soldier’s manuals and mission training plans. All HBCT and ACR units are encouraged to recommend ideas to upgrade the tasks, conditions, and standards in this manual.
FM 3-20.21 applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS), and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) unless otherwise stated.
Unless this publication states otherwise, masculine nouns and pronouns do not refer exclusively to men.
