FM 3-20.21 HBCT Gunnery – 2009 – Mini size

FM 3-20.21 HBCT Gunnery 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.

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.

Field Manual (FM) 3-20.21 provides a systematic way to train weapon system proficiency for armor, mechanized infantry, reconnaissance, engineers, fire support combat platform systems within the HBCT and ACR, as well as sustainment unit vehicles armed with crew-served weapons. It includes an assessment of combined gunnery skills in crew gunnery tables (GT) and application in collective tactical tables. FM 3-20.21 provides basic guidance on platform system employment and crew-, section-, and platoon-level tactics.

This book is a “Mini” (half the size of a piece of paper).

A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, large pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  The binding is with coil, allowing easy flipping of pages without jamming.

The color covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.

(A BIG size version (8 1/2 inch by 11 inch, the same size as a regular sheet of paper) is on this website too)
