The White Phase is more advanced training, teaching the art of living the army values. There is an emphasis on personal courage and digging deep in order to complete the mission.

Most injuries are a result of Warriors not being physically fit. Many injuries can be prevented through an individual PT program. One in four ARNG Warriors have difficulty meeting the Physical Training (PT) Assessment Standards. Warriors may be recycled for not meeting PT assessment standards. Requirements are, males; 13 push-ups,17 sit-ups and 8:30 one mile. Females; 3 push-ups, 17 sit-ups and 10:30 one mile.

The M16A2. It is the standard issue weapon of the U.S. Army, and the recruits’ new responsibility, demanding their knowledge and respect. Before a single round can be discharged, numerous nuances like breathing, stance and mechanics are covered meticulously and rehearsed methodically.

Basic Rifle Marksmanship Training Sessions

The procedures and techniques of the Army Rifle Marksmanship Training Program are based on the concept that all recruits must understand common firing principles, be proficient marksmen, and be confident in applying their firing skills both on a range and in actual combat.

Fundamentals

Recruits must understand and demonstrate the four key firing fundamentals before approaching any firing line. They must be able to establish a steady position that allows observation of the target and aim the rifle at the target by aligning the sight system. Also, they must fire the rifle without disturbing this alignment by improper breathing or during trigger squeeze.

Range Procedures

Before beginning live-fire exercises, all personnel receive an orientation on range operations. The briefing outlines the exact procedures and safety guidelines for conducting the exercise.

Grouping

Shot grouping is a form of practice live firing with two primary objectives: firing tight shot groups and consistently placing those groups in the same location. Grouping exercises are conducted on a 25-meter live-fire range that provides the precise locations of bullet hits and misses on paper targets stapled on cardboard silhouettes. The recruit must place three rounds within a 4-cm circle at 25 meters.

Zeroing the M16A2

The purpose of battle sight zeroing is to align the fire control system (sights) with the rifle barrel, considering the given ammunition ballistics. When this is accomplished correctly, the point of aim is the point of bullet impact at the standard battle sight zero range of 300 meters for an M16A2 rifle. The battle sight zero is the sight setting that provides the highest hit probability for most combat targets with minimum adjustment to the aiming point.

Down Range Feedback

This training method provides the precise knowledge of bullet strike at ranges beyond 25 meters.

Single-Target Detection and Engagement

This field firing exercise includes single-target engagements at distances of 75, 175, and 300 meters with fleeting combat-type, pop-up silhouettes. Time standards are provided during this instruction to add stress and simulate the short exposure times of real combat targets.

Multiple-Threat Detection and Engagement

This phase includes multiple-target engagements at distances of 75, 175, and 300 meters. The recruit engages two or more fleeting combat-type, pop-up silhouettes that appear at the same time, forcing the recruit to decide upon the order of engagement.

Pre-Qualification

The recruit is exposed to a more difficult course of fire, which includes single and multiple target engagements at six distances ranging from 50 to 300 meters. The recruit must integrate all the tasks learned from previous training.

Qualification

The standard record fire course consists of 40 target exposures at ranges between 50 and 300 meters in timed target sequences and combinations. The objective of qualification is to access and confirm the individual proficiency of individual firers. The standard course requires 23 hits to qualify as Marksman, 30 for Sharpshooter, and 36 for Expert.
