INSTRS FOR IsG DETAILED TO COVER PRAC CAMP

SOP NO 2/1992

Appces :- A Drill Notes.

B List of Maj Double Checks

C Feed Back Report

GEN

1. Prac camp of a unit is a maj trg event which determines, to a great

extent, the op and tech proficiency of the unit. It is thus extremely
essential that the assessment is done in a methodical manner by an IG
Team well prep for the same. A few pts which the team should keep in
mind before proceeding on such an imp event are given in succeeding
paras. Though these have been worked out for an IG Team proceeding to
cover the prac camp of a unit from Fd Wg, School of Arty, Deolali, these
instrs could also be used effectively by IG Teams detailed from units.

AIM

2. The aim of this SOP is to lay down instrs for IsG detailed to cover a
prac camp.

THE IG TEAM

3. The IG has the reputation of being the most knowledgeable person in

matters concerning gunnery and is, in fact, generally considered the auth
on such matters. It is, therefore, the responsibility of IsG detailed on prac
camps to ensure that this reputation is maint. It is appre that IsG, being
emp on different types of courses, tend to attain a specialised knowledge
in certain spheres of gunnery. However, with their basic grounding, it is
easy for them to "brush up" their knowledge in all spheres of gunnery prior
to proceeding on a prac camp. Particular attn should be paid to the spec
problems posed by the nature of eqpt with which a regt is equipped and
type of trn in which it is op.

4. The AIG also has a reputation to uphold. He is considered the auth on

all tech wk in the CP and on the guns. AIsG forming part of IG Teams
must, therefore, be one hundred percent up -to-date on these subjects and
have a good working knowledge of all gunnery problems.

PREP

Adm .

5. The various actions that should be taken by the IG Team to plan their
mov are as under: -

(a) Find out the following : -

(i) The details of the firing rgs where the prac camp is to be
held.
 (ii) NRS.

(iii) Dates and duration of prac camp.

(iv) Likely dates of dep from Deolali and back from the unit
on termination of the camp.

(v) Trains available and timings.

(vi) Transit camp in case journey is by rd from the NRS.

(vii) CO, Cdr Arty Bde, GOC and MG Arty.

(b) Take the following actions : -

(i) Enter your particulars in the temp duty register maint by

GSO2 (SD), HQ School of Arty.

(ii) Ask for temp duty mov sanction through DS Coord `A'.

(iii) Fill up the requisition for rly wt and get rail res done
accordingly.

(iv) Fill up forms for adv of TA/DA if required.

(v) Give a sig to the unit giving ETA.

(vi) Catr for appropriate dresses.

Tech

6. The various actions that should be taken by the IsG/AIsG to prep

themselves for the event are as under: -

(a) Find out the eqpt held by the unit.

(b) Familiarise with the eqpt incl problems which were faced by
the units holding similar eqpt and remedial actions taken if any.

(c) Read gun drill book of the eqpt and make a check list for day
and ni recording, coming into action and A tk gun drill.

(d) Brush up various procedures to be followed with the eqpt.

(e) Know the various types of amn and the restns imposed on any
of them.

(f) Revise/update knowledge of the following : -

(i) Massed fire distribution technique.

(ii) First salvo effectiveness.

(iii) AMTAB.

(iv) IsG update.

(v) Instrs for compiling prac camp report.

(vi) Practical hints on shooting (Faculty of Studies (FOS).

(vii) Cal.
 (viii) Modern trends in fd arty (FOS).

(ix) Hill shooting (if prac camp is in mtns).

(x) Any other subject which would be of interest to the unit.

(g) Visit Trials Wg and obtain details of latest trials on the eqpt
concerned.

(h) Since the application of tech gunnery is closely related to the

tac requirement, IsG attending prac camp must be abreast of the
latest tac doctrine. Whereas the IG is not required to comment on
tac matters at regt and higher levels, at bty and lower levels the
application of tech gunnery and the tac involved are so closely
interlinked that they cannot be divorced from each other. (Comments
on tac matters at lower levels may, therefore, be unavoidable).

Briefing .

7. The IG detailed for prac camp will be briefed by the under mentioned
offrs: -

(a) DS Coord.

(i) Imdt on detailment.

(ii) On the day of dep confirm change, if any, to the schedule

issued earlier.

(b) Head of Faculty . Seven days prior to dep.

(c) Cdr Gunnery Wg . Three days prior to dep.

Action Before Dep.

8. The various items to be collected before proceeding on the camp are

as under: -

(a) Items to be collected by IG: -

Item From

(i) Drill notes FOS

(ii) Copy of instrs for prac camp FOS

(iii) Feed back forms FOS

(iv) Move order and last drawn cert ADJT/QM

(b) Items to be collected by AIG: -

(i) Ricochet Item for the eqpt. RL & SO

(ii) Safety orders/instrs if applicable. RL & SO

(iii) Relevant extracts of restns on eqpt FOS

and the amn being used

(iv) Relevant pamphlets/RT. PAMPH LIB

9. The IG must enter his name in the dep register before proceeding on
the camp.
 ACTION ON REACHING THE UNIT

10. On reaching the unit, the IG should report to the Adjt of the unit. It is
not necessary for the IG Team to be att to the unit whose prac camp is
being covered. This aspect can be org by the concerned fmn HQ keeping
in mind the adm factors involved. He should then meet the under
mentioned offrs at the earliest possible: -

(a) CO of the unit being ex.

(b) BM of Arty Bde.

(c) Cdr, Arty Bde.

(d) CO of Conducting unit.

11. IG Team will report to the fmn HQ of the unit prior to the
commencement of the camp. Where due to distance involved or for any
other reason, it is not practicable to do so, the fmn cdr should brief the
IsG Team at the loc of the prac camp.

12. The following docu should be procured: -

(a) IG's copy of the ex.

(b) Broad sequence of events.

(c) Maps marked with ex setting.

(d) Copy of standing orders for rgs.

(e) Last two prac camp reports of the unit.

(f) Blank forms of prac camp report.

13. IG must get a detailed briefing from the BM on the various drills,
both tac and tech, being followed in that fmn.

ACTION DURING THE PRAC CAMP

14. IG Teams should be fair, friendly and helpful. The IG should bring
out his pt of view firmly and clearly, basing it on the official teaching of
the School and should not indulge in discussion to adv or indicate his
personal views on a problem.

15. IG Team should ensure that greater attn is paid to more imp issues
that form part of the IG's Report and Drill Notes. A better way could be for
any such shortcomings to be rectified by the unit during the Prac Camp
itself.

16. The IG/AIG should not rely on memory for remembering various pts
noticed during the prac camp. They should make use of Drill Notes given
at Appx A. The IG covering the prac camp should give his obsns to the CO
daily as pts for rectification. IG should also discuss the double checks
inherent in the system which are not followed by various appts. The list of
maj double checks is at Appx B.

17. The pts which are rectified and not rptd are not weaknesses to be
reflected. To be able to comment on the performance of the unit correctly,
it is necessary that IG/AIG are present at various places in time and keep
a note of pts noticed. The IG should brief the AIG in detail and ensure that
he knows the sequence of events and responsibilities in each. The AIG
must be given specific details of events, time and loc which he is required
to attend and the obsns/report on each expected of him.

THE REPORT

18. The report must be written independently and not in conslt with the
unit being ex. The IG Team should be pragmatic in their reporting and not
be influenced by the generosity displayed by the unit. It is only then that
the weaknesses will be identified and suitable remedial measures taken at
various levels.

19. On termination of the prac camp the IG should meet the BM and Cdr
Arty Bde and apprise them of the strs and weaknesses of the unit. The
views of the Cdr should be taken and both good/weak pts discussed with
him in detail. Before leaving the unit the CO should also be apprised of all
above weaknesses. Within 48h of termination of the prac camp, report on
the unit being ex should be completed by the IG covering the same. The
remarks should be specific. Any dep from the laid down drills and aspects
not prac should also be highlighted.

20. The IG should preferably obtain a copy of the prac camp report and
a map of the rgs where the prac camp was conducted for study/ref at the
School of Arty.

ACTION ON RETURN TO SCHOOL OF ARTY

21. IG returning to the School of Arty after prac camp should ensure the
following: -

(a) Brief Cdr, Fd Wg on his assessment of the std of trg he has obs.
He will also discuss any new trg methods/aids that might have been
obs during prac camp wich could be usefully emp in the School.

(b) A feed back on prac camp as per Appx C and a copy of the
report should be handed over to FOS.

CONCLUSION

22. Finally the IG Team must always bear in mind that they rep the
School of Arty. Their conduct and bg must at all times be such as to allow
no adverse reflection to be cast on this institution.

MAJ DOUBLE CHECKS

Ser Event/Action Checks

Checks at OP

1. Find out own loc OP offr checks with OPA.

2. Indication of tgt Checks back to Sp Armr Cdr.

3. Find out GR of the tgt OP offr checks OT bg to tgt with OPA.

OP offr checks GR with OPA.

Gross checks over 2 x 50% Z, Apex

Angle and OT factor worked out by
OPA.

4. Passing data to guns Ensures operator passes the same data

as ordered and read back by the CP
operator is correct.

5. Regn of tgt OP offr checks back Tgt No alloted.

Checks in the CP

6. Plotting of Arty Bd Check bty centre is in the correct sq.

Grid lines are numbered correctly.

Check the plotted coords of bty centre

with scale.

Pivot is correctly centered.

Check C of A with protractor.

Check posn of Bg Arc and its

numbering.

Check plotting of OPs/FDLs.

7. Plotting GR of the tgt GPO looks at the operator's pad and

ensures that GR rptd back by him is
what has been written on his pad.

GPO checks that TA is plotting the GR

in the correct sq.

8. Deduction of map data TA reads data from Arty Bd and enters

in the CPSF.

GPO checks correctness of data for

gross error by himself reading bg and
rg.
Ser Event/Action Checks

GPO works out the A of S, TA

calculates independently.

9. Prediction of data One map data is given to both the TAs

who predict it. GPO checks that
predicted data is within limits.

10. Passage of orders All orders passed by GPO are entered

by TA in the CPSF.

TA at the Arty Bd points out mistakes in

the passage of orders if any.

All orders are ack by Nos1 and Tp

Ldrs.

11. Plotting of OT bg GPO checks that correct OT bg is

plotted by TA on the predicted data.

12. Plotting of tgt grid corrn TA plots the correction to get

the new posn of the tgt.

GPO ensures that correct correction

is plotted.

TA reads bg and enters it in the form,

GPO mentally works out the switch and
passes to gun.

TA reads rg and fills it in the form.

TA works out the switch and writes it in

the form.

GPO compares switch worked out by

TA with that passed by him.
if there is a difference he will
reconfirm and pass it as less/more.

No the new pt.

Rub off the old pts.

Fill OP's correction on the

form.

Fill Ser No on the form.

GPO will ex common sense checks

throughout the shoot, eg, a correction
of drop 800m cannot alter the rg by
more than 800m.

13. Recording a tgt GPO tallies the tgt record report from
guns with the data in the CPSF.
Ser Event/Action Checks

In case of discrepancy, Tp Ldr checks

gun data. If discrepancy still persists
gun data is accepted.

Info discrepancy to OP.

Checks at the Gun.

14. To lay gun in the C of A No1 checks the angle set on the
main scale.

15. To set up collimator No1 checks lay on the collimator and

ensures main scale reading is 180
degs.

16. To record C of A No1 checks the angle of GAP recorded

by No3 and ensures that
slipping scale is set at ordered bg.

17. To check parallelism No1 checks the setting of slipping scale

and ensures that the lay is correct on
the GAP.

No3 reports main scale reading after

dial sight is laid on the director.

18. To load Checks cap on/off as ordered, cart as

per ch, fz setting and fz setter hand on
