GUNNERY TABLE VI!
Apache Troop is on their final crew evaluation table. Essential conditions for crews to qualify are utilizing a fully operational Bradley and weapons, allotted ammunition, a certified vehicle crew evaluator, and full-scale targets. Given those conditions a crew must score a minimum of 700 out of 1,000 points overall (score 70 points or more on all targets on at least 7 out of 10 engagements, and at least one of those engagements must be shot at night). Crews have been working hard to prepare for this table and will test their lethality today and through the night.

Soldiers received instruction on how identify vehicles and helicopters around the world based on characteristics of the wheels, tracks, hull, chassis, turret, main gun, bore evaluator, cupola, etc. At the end of the training, Soldiers were tested on identifying nomenclature of 25 day time photos and 25 heat signature photos. Then crews were tested on identifying ammunition by its nomenclature, type of round, and its intended purpose.

APACHE FOCUS!
The Troop is out training hard during the platoon situational training exercise. 1st Platoon deployed first in the training area by conducting a security patrol along a high speed avenue of approach and then established area security at an intersection blocking all traffic. This then set conditions for 2nd Platoon’s zone reconnaissance and area reconnaissance of a populated village. Platoons practiced their standard operating procedures on all forms of contact while ensuring to follow the fundamentals of reconnaissance and security.
#Blackhawks #ApacheOnTheWarpath
TROOP LEADING PROCEDURES!
Apache Troop was in the Close Combat Tactical Trainer (CCTT) last week. While 2nd Platoon was refining their tactics in the simulator, 1st Platoon was building their proficiency in troop leading procedures and the operations order. The platoon leadership received a Troop level operations order and was given 48 hours for platoon planning. The platoon leader and platoon sergeant were evaluated on their order, their graphic overlays, and their platoon sand table rehearsal. The Bradley commanders were then separated with their graphics and a radio where they fought their plan through a series of injects presented by the troop commander and first sergeant. The injects presented to each Bradley commander consisted of war-fighting problem sets that forced the platoon to communicate and have common understanding in order to meet the commander’s intent. The commander and first sergeant evaluated the platoon’s responses to ensure they didn’t violate the fundamentals of reconnaissance and security.
#Blackhawks #ApacheOnTheWarpath
M4 QUALIFICATION!
Last week, Apache Troop’s 2nd Platoon and Mortar Platoon facilitated M4 Rifle preliminary marksmanship instruction, zero, day qualification, and chemical qualification for three battalions in 2nd Brigade. Soldiers gained marksmanship proficiency and confidence of their assigned military protective equipment.
Great work, team!

CAVALRY HISTORY RUN!
NIGHT QUALIFICATION! Before conducting night qualification Apache Troop conducted borelighting procedures with 1-35AR firers. The borelight is an accurate means of zeroing their laser aiming equipment to their weapon without the use of ammunition. Time and effort must be applied to ensure a precise zero. Firers gain confidence in their night vision devices and their zeroed laser to effectively engage targets. #Blackhawks #ApaceOnTheWarpath
COACH, MENTOR, & MOTIVATE! Today Apache Troop facilitated Crew Served Weapons Qualification for 1st Battalion, 35th Armored Regiment. Each firing position has a trained and certified safety that coaches, mentors, and motivates the firer. SSG Otero Perez and SPC Cody Armijo, both from our 1st Platoon, provided support to qualify SPC Kayla Crawford of G Co, 1-35AR. Apache Troop strives to provide the best service and conditions to qualify firers. #Blackhawks #ApacheOnTheWarpath
CLOSE COMBAT TACTICAL TRAINER! For the last two weeks, Apache Troop has been taking advantage of the available virtual training resources here on Fort Bliss. Bradley crews from first and second platoon began their virtual training at the Fort Bliss Close Combat Tactical Trainer. Each platoon executed a simulated Gunnery Table XII, which is a platoon level evaluation of their collective tasks. The primary purpose of this training is for new crews formed as a platoon to learn how to talk to each other and higher headquarters while assaulting an objective. Watch the video of 1st Platoon in action as they get their first evaluation from the commander and first sergeant after spending four hours of repetitions. #Blackhawks #ApacheOnTheWarpath

Apache is out on the range today! SPC Connor from 2nd Platoon qualified sharpshooter with a M9 pistol.
This week our very own 1st Platoon from Apache Troop ran a TOW Missile Range for 9 crews across the Squadron. The crews used a telescopic sight to view a point on the target and then fire the missile while continuing to view and track the target through the sight. Good job to 1st Platoon for running a successful range! #Blackhawks #ApacheOnTheWarpath Photos and video captured by SSG Max McDoniel, 1st Platoon, Apache Troop, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment
