This proposal reports the findings of one of a series of eight experiments concerned with improving the soldier's ability to engage moving personnel targets. This overall research effort examined the effect of different modes of fire, additional ammunition, methods of target engagement, the use of an intermediate live-fire exercise, and the use of device-based training on moving target engagement. Current U.S. Army training for Infantrymen includes one day of instruction in moving target engagement. This experiment describes a modified training program with special training devices conducted over a two-day period.
