This manual is for use in training personnel to operate the Redeye Guided Missile System. This includes not only those personnel assigned to Redeye sections and teams, but also those who may be required to man the system on an "as required" basis, such as Hawk and Chaparral missile crewmen whose units have Redeye assigned to augment their primary weapon systems. This manual focuses on the techniques and procedures used by a two-man Redeye team in engaging enemy aircraft. It consists of two parts: PART I describes the Redeye weapon system and tells how to use the weapon to shoot down enemy aircraft. PART II discusses the means and methods of training soldiers to operate the system. This manual should be used with the system technical manual (TM 9-1400-425-12) which tells how the system functions and how to maintain it.
