Task 1. Identify Hand Grenades

Task 2: Employ Hand Grenades

TEST CONDITIONS: During daylight, given five M69 practice hand grenades, three engageable targets, and pictures of five different hand grenades.

TEST STANDARDS:

1. Identify the use for each type grenade with 10 seconds to do so for each grenade.

2. Throw a grenade for each target so that it explodes within the effective bursting radius (five meters) of the grenade for a target in the open or explodes within an enclosure or fighting position.

3. Do not expose yourself for more than 5 seconds at a time.

4. Engage each target within 30 seconds.

SOLDIER'S MANUAL CROSSWALK: This task does not differ from task number 071-325-4407 in STP 21-1-SMCT, page 187 or what is described in FM 7-8 Infantry Platoon and Squad, (refer to sketch of fighting position), and FM 23-30 Grenades.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR POINT: Pictures of grenades are shown in FM 23-30 Grenades that can be printed here from online or the paper manual. Provide five hand grenades (M69 training practice) for each lane, two silhouette targets for each lane, field table, clipboard, stopwatch, pen, and FB Form 20-23-R.

SITE SETUP: Provide containers for the practice grenades and for expended firing devices. This site should afford a safe area for throwing practice grenades with firing devices.

TARGETS: One target with single silhouette at a range of 35 meters, one target with overhead cover that can be approached along a covered route, and one standard two-man fighting position without overhead cover at a range of 20 meters containing one visible silhouette target.

"Let me have your attention. At this point, you are required to identify hand grenades and employ hand grenades. You will identify five different grenades. You will be given 10 seconds for each grenade, and engage three different enemy targets with five hand grenades. You have 30 seconds to engage each target. Target number 1 is a dismounted enemy Soldier at a range of 35 meters. The situation and available cover will not permit you to move closer to the target. Target number 2 is an enemy position with overhead cover that can be approached along a covered route. Target number 3 is an enemy fighting position without overhead cover at a range of 20 meters. The situation and available cover will not permit you to move closer to the target. The scorer immediately informs you when you have obtained a target hit at each target. Your grenade must explode within 5 meters of the exposed target and in both the bunker and fighting position. You may throw additional grenades at a target should you miss with the first grenade; however, you must engage all three targets to pass this station. Your time starts after you are in position at each target. Do you understand what you must do?"

If there are any questions, repeat the instructions but do not elaborate on what you have read.

"Begin."

Allow the candidate to proceed for 30 seconds.

"Stop."

Have the candidate proceed to the next phase. The candidate must engage each target within 30 seconds from the time he begins that phase of the task.
