FORT BENNING, Ga., (June 1, 2016) -- The Maneuver Center of Excellence and the Doctrine and Collective Training Division announce the recent publication of Training Circular 3-22.9, Rifle and Carbine. This new TC provides Soldiers with the critical information for their rifle or carbine and how it functions, its capabilities, the capabilities of the optics and ammunition, and the application of the functional elements of the shot process.
The TC, which was published on May 13, 2016, replaces Field Manual 3-22.9, published in August 2008. This manual is specifically tailored to the individual Soldier's use of the M4- or M16-series weapon. It provides specific information about the weapon, aiming devices, attachments, followed by sequential chapters on the tactical employment of the weapon system.
"This manual applies to all Soldiers, regardless of experience, and is a pocket-sized reference designed specifically for the Soldier's use on the range during training, and as a reference while deployed," said Steve Krivitsky, Weapons and Gunnery branch chief.
MCoE Doctrine Chief Col. Marty Barr agreed with Krivitsky.
"The packaging and content of this publication drive our intent for it to accompany Soldiers during training as a reference and not stay in the arms room as an accountable item."
TC 3-22.9 is available for download from the Central Army Registry at: https://rdl.train.army.mil/catalog-ws/view/100.ATSC/492701D5-25E9-40A7-9498-74C22831F268-1463059585416/TCx3-22.9.pdf.
