PREFACE ~

Our* is the profession o-f arms! In this age o-f computerized war-fare and electronic wizardry it seems that this is often over- looked. Technology has forced us to become more and more specialized in our day to day tasks and it is for this reason that we have forgotten some of our basic military heritage. Some of us are so used to video warfare that we have forgotten that firearms exist or have discounted them altogether. Me have become a generation intrenched with the notion of laser weapons, particle beams, and smart bombs, but it is a fact that every crewmember will carry a sidearm when he goes into combat and that the last perimeter of defense around a B-S2 on alert is a secur— ity policeman with an M-16 rifle. The primary weapon used for individual combat is still the firearm - probably the type on which we qualified when we first came into the Air Force. In order to re-emphasize the notion that ours is the profession of arms and to provide a continuing interest in small arms excel- lence the Air Force sponsors a rifle and pistol match program called "Excellence-in-Competition." The purpose of this hand- book is to provide help to the prospective project officer in planning and executing one of these matches.

There are nany people that I owe many thanks to for help in putting this guide together. Among them are Mr. Steve Ducoff of Air Force Sports, MSgt Ron Bates - Maxwell AFB Small Arms Marksmanship Training Unit Chief, SSgt Jim-Bob McCarty of the Maxwell AFB Small Arms Marksmanship Training Unit and Captain of the 1984 Air Force Pistol Team, Major Bob Morris - my advisor and good friend, and last, but not least, my wife Kathy who served as chief encourager and editor.

This document will after review and approval

be published as an Air of content by HQ AFMPC.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Major Martin star ted his Air Force career as a cadet at the Air Force Academy with the class o-f 1969. While there, he was a member o-f the Academy pistol team -for three years. After gradu- ating -from the Academy he initially served as a physicist in Air Force Systems Command, Later he attended undergraduate pilot training at Sheppard Air Force Base. Following pilot training, he was to qualify as a reconnaissance pilot in the RF-4C, Phantom II, aircra-ft and serve tours at Shaw AFB, South Carolina; Udorn RTAFB, Thailand; and Kadena AFB, Japan. He has over 1700 flying hours in the Phantom. Leaving flying for awhile, he spent the next two years in graduate school at the University of Michigan preparing for his next assignment to the Physics Department at the Air Force Academy. At the Academy he taught courses in physics and electrical engineering and also flew the UV-18, Twin Otter, aircraft for the Academy parachute team. Presently he is a course officer at Air Command and Staff College.

Major Martin's formal academic education includes a B.S. in physics from the Air Force Academy, M.S. in physics and M.S. in mathematics from the University of Michigan, and a Ph.D in elec- trical engineering from the University of Colorado. His profes- sional military education includes both Squadron Officer School and Air Command and Staff College. He has published several scientific and technical articles in various journals and has written several Air Force technical reports.

Additionally, he is a strong proponent of small arms training for all Air Force personnel. He has participated in EKcel lence-in-Compet i. tion matches at the Academy and at Lackland AFB and presently holds the elementary level bronze badges for both pistol and rifle.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Elementary Level Excel lence-in-Competition is not an event -for basic qualification nor is it mandatory -for anyone. It is an event in which any active duty, Reserve, or Air National Guard Air Force personnel may participate whether or not they have qualified on a particular rifle or pistol and it is absolutely free of charge - the Air Force pays for everything during an elementary match. If you are asking yourself why the Air Force would pay for such an event, the answer is simple. Elementary Level Excel lence-in-Competition promotes marksmanship throughout the Air Force on a continual basis thus directly supporting Project Warrior by re-emphasizing small arms skills. Unfortu- nately, however, the competitions do not occur spontaneously. They must be organized, planned in great detail, and executed logically in order to make the program a success. That, then, is the purpose of this guide; it will hopefully answer most of the questions that you may have as a project officer and tell you where to find the answers to the ones it does not provide.

The details of the competition are contained within this guide and include such subjects as: what information is avail- able to the project officer in the form of regulations, manuals, books, etc. (Chapter Two); the logistics support required in the form of money and manpower (Chapter Three); a putting-it-all- together section (Chapter Four); and an appendix with example letters and forms that must be completed before and after a match. Additionally, the appendix contains a copy of a computer program that may be used to rank and score competitors during a match thus relieving much of the match administrative work. Again, the competition is an opportunity to compete in a basic military skill in which we all should excel. We reward the winners with a prestigious badge to be worn on the Air Force uniform. This type of program is healthy for the Air Force and helps to re-emphasize our basic military heritage.

CHAPTER TWO

In this chapter I will bevin ta en..-r ~ af the quewtian• that a typical project officer .. Y havet that is, "Mher• da I start?" In that revard, thi• chapter pretMtnt• the vriau• sourc.. af infonnation that are available. Th- include Air Force revulations, Air Farce -.nual•, baalc•, end any athW eaurce that .. Y be of help.

Typically, thi• regulation Mill be .. intained at the installation •aster reference library, Mhich i• usually located at base headquart.rs. Additionally, it .. y be found at the installation s mall arMs training facility. It is ab .. lutely necessary that a pro j ect officer be ca.pletely f .. iliar Mith thi• publication prior to beginning any •atch planning. R .. arding badges, questions always arise at •etches as to where the badge may be worn and how. The ansNef"' is found in Air Farce Revulatian 35-10.

2

Chapter seven of AFR 35-10 deals solely with "Insignia, Badges, and Devices." (2:1) This particular regulation should he readily available on any Air Force installation; places that are certain to have it f.re the master re-ference library generally located at base headquarters, any unit orderly room, or the small arms marksmanship training branch. It details when, where, and how the badges may be worn and includes a drawing of each. Men wear the badge centered on the flap of the left breast pocket. On the woman's service or ceremonial dress uniforms the badge is worn centered 1/2 inch above the top row of ribbons, or if nn ribbons are worn, the top edge of the badge is positioned on the left side of the blouse or coat. It should be positioned level with the name tag. The badge may also be worn on fatigue uni- forms centered below the pocket flap on the left breast pocket. If authorized to wear more than one marksmanship badge the/ should be worn right to left in the following order: US distin- guished international shooter badge, followed by the AF pistol shot badge, and finally the AF rifleman badge. Only the most recent badges may be worn; e.g., if you are authorized the USAF distinguished pistol shot badge, you may not wear any of the? Excellence-in-Competition pistol shot badges leading up to the distinguished. For more guidance on the number of other badges that may be worn in conjunction with the marksmanship badges refer to AFR 35-10. The information just presented was from the 15 September 1983 publication. Figure one on the ne;;t page includes a reprint from AFR 35-10 as to what the badges actually look like. The ones shown are approximately actual size.

Air Force Regulation 50-36, "Combat Arms Training and Main- tenance Program Management," is a two volume regulation that "outlines policy and provides procedures and guidance to person- nel who plan, conduct, administer, evaluate, and manage the Air Force Combat Arms Training and Maintenance Program." (3:1) The particular volumes cover the following:

Volume I establishes responsibilities, establishes ground weapons facility design criteria, provides procedures for range operation and maintenance, provides guidance on management of combat arms personnel training, and establishes ground weapon maintenance policies and procedures. Volume II prescribes the minimum requirements and courses of training to train and qualify persons in the use of ground weapons. (3:1)

Basically, this regulation consolidates the information that used to be found in AFR 50-57 and AFM 50-25. AFR 50-36 should be available at the master reference library as well as the small arms marksmanship range. As a project officer, you will not necessarily need to be intimately familiar with this manual since

you will be working with highly skill~ eMperts fro• the •ark•­manship training unit. However, there are secttons that wuuld probably be worthwhile reading, in particular the one• dealtn9 with range proc edures and range •afety. It is i~artant to emphasize that during an eleMentary ca.petition ••ny of th• participants will be completely unfa•tliar with either pracedur•• or safetyJ therefore, as project affic_..., be sure you understand what is happening befor e the •atch begins. Also, the r~ulation contains some good diagrams of the various shooting stanc .. Lhat may be used dur ing a match. It •ight be a good idea to have sa.. of the appropria e drawings reproduced and an hand during th• competition to se as examples.

CHAPTER THREE

LOGISTICS

In short this chapter deals with the logistics o-f running an Elementary Level Excellence-in-Competition match. In that regard we may sub-divide our logistics problem into two categories - materiel support and personnel. Let's first take a look at materiel support.

Obviously the matferiel support for a particular match depends upon the number of people attending, the type of match, the local facilities available, the duration of the match, etc.. In the type match we are planning, the Elementary Level Excel- lence-in-Competition, the Air Force pays for the targets, ammu- nition, weapons, and range - in short, nearly everything. Ammunition for this competition is authorized ir. accordance with APR 50-41, Attachment 1, paragraph 3. The amount of ammunition expended for this event must not jeopardize your base training requirements and may need to be budgeted for in the yearly forcast. In other words, your major command pays the bill. Some other items that should be considered are latrine facilities, eating facilities (coffee, doughnuts, "roach coach," etc.?), s lelter in the event of inclement weather, parking space, and rest area to name a few. Even after you have a place picked and all the materiel support you need, do not forget about the help you will require before, during, and after the match.

As a minimum for the match itself, you will need a project officer, an executive officer, a chief range officer, a statisti- cal officer, and, for every three to five competitors on the range at any one time, range officers. These people will typi- cally be volunteers and cannot shoot in the match except for the project officer and range officers. Their duties are relatively straightforward beginning with the project officer. His job is to a. qanize the event so that it occurs as it was planned.

The executive officer, on the other hand, is directly respon- sible for the efficient conduct of the entire match. He may change the match and firing conditions as shown by the program, provided a bulletin is posted for the information of all competi- tors and that such changes are not contrary to current rules. He is directly responsible for the efficient operation of the ranges

and the Stat isti c a l Of fice as well as the safety and proper discipline of all match operating personnel, competitors and spectators. Ever o ne o n the range must comply with the executive officer's instruc t · ons regarding ~Ratch procedures. He l• completely in cha ge o n the day of the match.

Next in 1·n s h c hief range officer who ha~ full charve of the range and wi ll onduc t the matches according to the sche­d u le approved b y the execut ive officer. He is r esponsible for range saf~ty an d for nfor c ing all rules. He relies on the full cooperation and h e l p f t e range officers in order to do this.

The range o f fic e r-s "mrk directly for the chief range off i­c er. They are r s p n ib le for the safety and discipline of ranve personnel, c mp i o , and spectators in the section of the range to whi c h y have been assigned. They supervise the scoring and a rP. r e onsibl e for seeing that the coMpetitor's equipment and s i t · on are as authorized for the match betnv fired. They mu b e f amiliar with the rMles and comply, to the best of their abili ty , wi.th all instructions issued by the eKecu­tive officer o r c ief r·ange officer. They fAUSt be constantly alert, impar t icl in t.l i handling of competitors , and courteous t hough firm.

Finally, st ti s tical officer is re~poruaible far ell s tatistical wo k · n c nnect ion with the •atch. The statistical officer does -:;core! targets but o"l y works with scar- an completed sea e ds.

You mus t b aE\g · n ive when looking for volunteers to fill these posit i ons . 1 here are tnany sources of people frat~ Mhich you can ask fo r volun · e r s . Organizations such as the security police squadr n , l ocal Air National Guard squadrons , Air Farce Reser ve units, 'en an ROTC detachment all serve as excellent sour c es.The reg. officer will typically be one of the s ma ll arms m-'\r · 1 rr·~r-,··,·p ra ini ng unit per!Sonnel. It would also help if the ive o ficer had some range or shooting eKperi-enc e as wel a · stical officer. The above are the "bare bones" posi t i n!'i hi\ be filled for any competition.

CHAPTER FOUR

FINAL PLANNING

This -final chapter deal« with the "putting-it-all-together phase" of match planning. Be-fore you go any -further, be sure that you have obtained approval -from two o-f the main players in the organization - the installation commander and the chie-f of the small arms marksmanship training unit. You must have the ■full support o-f both o-f these people in order to have a suc- cessful match. It is essential that you discuss the Idea with them ßersgnal.1^ to obtain official permission. In that regard there are certain letters that must be written.

Your first letter should go out no later than four months prior to the desired date of the competition and it should go to the installation commander outlining what you want to do, how many people will participate, the base services involved, the dates involved, distinguished visitors attending, and anything else that a base commander would want to know. The commander may not need or want this letter but you should check with him to be sure. See Appendix 1 for a copy of the one used for a competition at Maxwell AFB. The second letter that must be mailed as soon as possible is a letter of request to HQ AFMPC/MPCSOA, Randolph AFB, TX 78150. This is the official request to have an Air Force sponsored competition and should be signed by the installation commander. It should include information similar to the letter above, plus an estimate of the amount and type of ammunition that you plan to use. Your MAJCOM may pay for the ammunition as will be ' dicated in MPC's approval letter. Again a copy of the letter used at a Maxwell AFB competition is included in Appendix, I.

At this point the tasks that muiit be accomplished are dic- tated by the size of match that is going to occur. Most of the work will be done by you and the people at the small arms marki^anship training unit. The two items that take priority initially are publicity and help.

The event must be publicized as widely and often as possible. The base newspaper is a good place for official notices. Appendix 4 contains a sample notice for the pistol match held at

no shows? How many alternates do you want? You may want to continue the list o-f questions; however, the main point is that you arrange to sit down with the people at the -firing range and consider these problems before the day oi the match. Also, one ■final point on safety. Assume that the competitors know nothing about firing procedures and, in general, are novices when it comes to handling firearms. Be sure everyone is adequately briefed prior to handling the weapons. REMEMBER: MISTAKES WITH FIREARMS CAN BE, AND OFTEN ARE, FATAL.

Finally, the information in this guide has been brief and certainly not all-inclusive. It was not intended to be. Hope- fully, however, it will make it much easier for a project officer to plan and execute one of these extremely worthwhile matches. Good luck and good shooting!

8» Ilö£ IBIMIIS! Firing commences and ceases when the whistle/buzzer or the orders "Fire" and "Cease Fire" are given. Rounds fired before or after these commands are scored as misses.

9. SCQRI.NB: Targets are scored after each ten (10) shot stage or each five (5) shot stage. The target may be scored on the target frames, at the firing line, in the statistical office or in the target scoring area. If any part of the shot hole touches the outside line of a scoring ring, that shot is given the higher value. A scoring gauge may be used to determine the value of close shots. All shots fired by the competitor after he has taken his position at the firing line will be counted in his score even if the pistol is accidentally discharged. Hits on the wrong target are scored as misses. Richochets are scored as misses.

a. Excessive Hits - If more than the required hits appear on the target, the competitor will accept the hits of lowest value, except:

(1) If the hits can be identified as belonging to another competitor, then he may chose to refire.

(2) If the hits can be identified as belonging to a previous string of fire, it will be repasted.

(3) If the competitor fires less than the required number of shots through his own fault, he will be scored the number of shots of highest value equal to the number of shots he fired and given a miss for each unfired cartridge.

b. Visible Hits and Close Groups - As a general rule only those hits which are visible will be scored. An exception will be made in the case where the grouping of three or more shots is so close that it is passible for a required shot or shots to have gone through the enlarged hole without leaving a mark. In this case, the shooter will be given the benefit of the doubt and will have scored a hit.

c. Score Cards - Erasures on score cards are not permitted. To make corrections, the shooter or range officer draws a line or lines through the incorrect score and places the correct score above. The scorer and competitor will sign the score card. If the rompetitor fails to sign the score card, challenges will not be allowed.

d. Scorers - Competitors will act as scorers when requested to do so by the executive officer or chief range officer, e;;cept that no competitor may score his own target.

10. DECISION OF TIL',: Competitors having the same numerical .core for the entire course a-f -fire and tieing for the last ranking for award of the USAF Bronze Excel 1ence-in-Competition Pistol Shot Badge mur.t ref ire. Re-fires of the entire course continue until one of the competitors has attained a higher numerical score than the other.

II- INIgBBUEIIQM pi= FIRE: In timed or rapid fire when the firing of a stnnq 1% interrupted by some occurence which renuers it impossible far on^ or more competitors to complete the string under the conditions of the match, the chief range officer should nroceed as follows: Without allowing the competitor to examine the target, he will be allowed to accept or reject it. If he accepts the score, proceed in the usual manner. If he rejects the target, it should be discarded and the string refired and scored. Reasons for authorizing the procedure are:

a. Failure to allow full time.

b. Failure of the target to remain in position on the t rame.

c Appearance of something in the line of fire consti- tuting a hazard.

d. An accident on the firing line.

12. DEFECTIVE CARTRIDGE,, MALFUNCIION^ QR DISABLED WEAPON: An r^libi is defined as a defective cartridge, disabled weapon, or malfunctioi which interrupts a competitor's string of fire. The competitor should call the range officer immediately for an alibi. .lie range officer, when satisfied that the alibi is legitimate, will permit the competitor to replace the unfired cartridge or clear the malfunctior anJ continue firing. Addi- 1lonal time may be allowed equal to the time lost as a result of the alibi. In ttu' - ent of an alibi before a string is completed in tilted or rapid fire, the competitor is allowed to fire another five shot strinq, providing he assumes the ready position and alls the range officer by holding up his hand at the end of the

time period. The ranye officer will inspect the weapon and if satisfied that there is a legitimate alibi, will determine the number of unfired cartridges remaining in the weapon, or bullets that have failed to leave the barrel. The competitor will then fire another complete five shot string on the same target. When scoring after ten ''ii^s, the competitor will be charged with firing fifteen shots less whatever number of cartridges were found unfired or bullets that failed to leave the barrel in the original string and will be scored the ten shots of lowest value. Unfired shots in the refired string will be scored as misses. Failure of the competitor to notify the range officer of the malfunction, or the opening or clearing or attempting to clear

the weapon by the competitor before the range of-ficer has inspected the weapon -forfeits the right of the competitor to ref ire.

13. MALFUNCTI_ON! Malfunctions are defined as a failure of the weapon to function properly due to mechanical defects or to defective ammunition. Functional failures due to improper manual operation are not to be considered as malfunctions.

14. DEFECTIVE QARIRIDGE: A defective cartridge is a cartridge that: (a) is unsafe to fire by reason of improper loading or structural deficiencies, (b) fails to fire when the primer is indented by the firing pin or (c) has insufficient detonation to force the bullet from the barrel. No claim for defective cartridge will be allowed if the bullet has left the barrel.

15. DISABLED WEAPONS A disabled weapon is any weapon which cannot be safely aimed or fired or has suffered the loss of a sight or damage to the sight rendering it impossible to properly aim at a target or cannot be fired because of mechanical failure. Once a weapon is declared disabled by the chief range officer, it shall not be u»ed again for firing until the defect has been corrected. The chief range officer must then declare the weapon safe for reuse.

16. CHANGING WEAPONS: No competitor will change his weapon during the firing of any match, unless it has become disabled and has been so declared by the chief range officer. All shots fired up to the time the claim is made will stand as part of the official score.

All shots fired by the competitor after he has taken his position at the firing line will be counted in his score even if the rifle is accidentally discharged. Hits on the wrong target are scored as misses. Richochets are scored as misses.

a. Excessive Hits - If more than the required hits appear on the target, the competitor will accept the hits of losest value, except:

APPENDIX 5

PISTOL MATCH SCORING PROBRAM

This program is written in advanced BASIC programming language -for use on the IBM personal computer. The scoring is set up -for use on a pistol match (slow, timed, and rapid fire only) but may be modified for use on a rifle match. Using a double sided, double density disk, you should be able to account for 500 competitors easily. The program is designed to add the scores, assign them to the respective competitor, rank the competitors by score for display on the CRT during the match, ancj rank and print a final competitor listing including SSAN, addresses, etc.. The information is kept on disk storage so the computer may be turned off without loosing anything. Additionally, there is a full error correcting capability built into the program should information be entered erroneously.

The following pages contain a copy of the main menu as it would appear when running the program as well as a copy of the program itself. When inputing "names," the computer will ask for the competitor's full name, rank, SSAN, military address, and civilian address. For "scores" you need only input name or competitor number and respective scores. If you select "errors," you may correct any of the above information for a particular competitor. A good idea is to have the computor listing available the day of the match so that competitors may check the information as they sign in for the competition. Selection or "ranking," will display the top 24 competitors of the match on the CRT while selection of "gual" will provide a printout of everyone shooting above 265 thus far - rank ordered, of course. Lastly, selection of "final," provides a rank ordered listing of all the competitors from the printer and contains each competi- tor's name, rank, SSAN, military address, civilian address, and scores.
