Standardized rifle marksmanship program could go Armywide

Standardized rifle marksmanship program could go Armywide: "An advanced rifle marksmanship concept developed at Fort Benning based on 'lessons learned' in Iraq and Afghanistan might be instituted across all Army training centers later this year, officials said.

Col. Terry Sellers, operations officer for the Maneuver Center of Excellence, said Combat Familiarization Fire, or ARM 6, has not been formally added to the Army program of instruction, but that could happen around May as part of an overall POI review. New lesson plans are being drafted for the marksmanship field manual to include the CFF version standardized here."
