To ensure all wpn at coy level are deploy and

specificied located during in balttlefield
 Sp wpn level
• Section:
• 7.62MM LMG/5.56MM MINIMI
• LAW C 90/RPG 7
• 40 MM MGL/M 203 GR

• Company:
• 60MM MOR
• 7.62 GPMG
 Responsible of deployment

• Section – Deploy by Sect/Pl Comdr, conformation

by Pl Comdr
• Coy – Deploy by Pl/Coy Comdr, conformation by
CO.
 Basic consideration

• Mutual Sp
• Round Def
• Depth
• Fire Plan
• Security
• Use of Ground
 Principles of sighting in sp wpn

• Dominate en adv axis.

• Fire up to max range.
• Use of obs in killing area.
• Use of in dir fire and dir fire asset in killing area.
• Max use of wpn max range and their capability.
• Pri of tgt.
• Combined of all sp wpn to achieve max effect.
 terminology of sighting
• Primary Loc. Loc that have good cover, protection and arc
of fire.
• Warning Post. Loc before Primary Loc established.
• Alternative Loc . Loc must be established if Primary Loc is
uneffective, been attk or have be known by en.
• Secondary Loc. Must be estb for secondary task. Loc must
be sited just like Primary Loc.
• Temporary Loc. Sp wpn sited at depth for temporary task.
Eg. Ambush and screening task.

characteristic of deployment
 characteristic of deployment
LMG/MINIMI LAW C 90/RPG 7
• Mutual Sp. • Pairing/Nearest.
• Target sighting. • Posibilty tk direction/routes.
• Good arc of fire especially • Effective target range.
‘Dead Gd’. • Safety to other trench.
 characteristic of deployment
MORTAR GPMG
• Target Sighting. • Enfilde fire fm defiled posn.
• Conceal/Cover fm en • Mutual sp.
Obs/fire. • Fire sync and control.
• No obs on trajectory. • Security.
• Target sighting.
• Good arc of fire.
Types of fire (direct)
 GRAZING FIRE
 Fire approximately parallel to the gnd where the
centre of cone of fire does not rise above 1 mtr
fm the gnd.
 ENFILADE FIRE
 Fire of a wpn fm a flk sited to sweep the tgt across
its front.
 FRONTAL FIRE
 Fire delivered fm front to the length of the tgt.
 OBLIQUE FIRE
 Fire delivered at angles between enfilade and
frontal, where the length of the beaten zone applied
to a proportion of the tgt.
 PLUNGING FIRE
 Fire fm a high gnd to lower gnd or high gnd to high
gnd.

 Firing over ranges 700m.

 Firing into sharply rising gnd.
 Firing from high gnd to low gnd.

1.8M
 TRAVERSING FIRE
 Fire delivered by direction changes along the width of
tgt.
 SEARCHING FIRE
 A fire distributed in depth by successive changes of
elevation.
 FLANKING FIRE
 Fire delivered onto a tgt or area fm a flank.
