For Soldiers to be expert and professional and able to maintain arms requires knowing how best to use them. For leadership to remain technically and tactically proficient, seeking continually to improve knowledge and practice of their profession requires learning current doctrine as it evolves.  \nThe Evolution  \nBack in the early 1980s, Army publication Field Circular 23-11, Unit Rifle Marksmanship Training Guide was designed to provide useful marksmanship guidance to combat, combat support, and combat service support units. It covered a wide range of topics from the basics, such as zeroing and shot-group analysis, to advanced information, such as night firing, automatic firing, and using the then-new Multi-integrated Laser Engagement System (MILES).  \nRifle and Carbine:  \nTC 3-22.9 Pistol:  \nTC 3-23x35 Light Machine Gun M249 series:  \nTC 3-22.249  \n(Automatic Rifle and Light Machine Gun use) Medium Machine Gun:  \nTC 3-22.240 Heavy Machine Gun M2 series:  \nTC 3-22.50  \nGrenade Machine Gun Mk19 MOD 3: TC 3-22.19  \nThe information was specific to guide trainers in providing a sound unit marksmanship program without bogging them down in needless detail. Its intent was to provide deeper understanding behind the how and why of the then-current small arms Field Manuals, such as FM 23-9.  \nThe most current Training Circulars arevery new and are complete rewrites that establish new proceduresand doctrine. Many units have not yet implemented this and many leaders remain unaware of these changes. Like the FC 23-11 did in the eighties, this article provides an up-to-date overview of implementing current Army small arms training doctrine into a sound unit marksmanship  \nprogram without bogging down into needless detail.  \nTraining Circular 3-22.9, Rifle and Carbine was officially released May 2016 with Change One in January 2017, superseding FM 3-22.9 dated August 2008. Since then, all of the Army’s small arms manuals have been completely rewritten from scratch throughout Fiscal Year 2017. If you haven’t downloaded the most current versions since before then, you’re completely behind on current training procedures.  \nNote these are listed as Training Circulars, not Field Manuals. Previously-released small arms doctrine were released as Field Manuals. The current manuals have been released as Training Circulars.  \nDoctrine changes don’t replace fundamental principles for the same reason that doctrine changes don’t supplant known laws of physics. What does change is how the official approach organizes and describes those principles.  \nThese new manuals are well over a thousand pages of new training and technical information. Unless they’re gunnerds like us, most Soldiers won’tread all this. My purpose here is to distill the new information in these Training Circulars into something more manageable.
