About

At the Joint Readiness Training timely, massed and accurate fires in all directions. Choosing a Position Area. The most important aspect of providing 6400-mil fires is choosing a position that facilitates this mission. Optimally, a 6400-mil firing location will sit on high ground in a clearing with the nearest screening crest a minimum of 200 meters from the guns. The position must be large enough to emplace all guns yet maintain the distance between the guns and the screening crest. The advance party initially checks the site-to-crest using an M2 aiming circle or an M2 compass around the point to verify that the screening crest is not a problem at that location. The position cannot be a wood line firing position used to mask the battery's location.
