Book Description
INTRODUCTION 1. GAIN ATTENTION. Marksmanship proficiency is the cornerstone of a Marine’s effectiveness in any combat situation. The goal of marksmanship training is to develop this proficiency to a combat- effective level. Marine Corps policy requires that all Marines be thoroughly trained and capable of safely and effectively employing those weapons appropriate to their grade and duty assignment. To this end, the Marine Corps Combat Pistol Program (CPP) functions to provide marksmanship training to those Marines who are required by T/O, grade, or duty assignment to carry the M9 service pistol. Through classroom, dry practice, and live fire training, the CPP prepares Marines to be combat-effective with the pistol in support of their unit’s mission. 2. OVERVIEW. This lesson will introduce Marine Corps pistol marksmanship training with the M9 service pistol. 3. INTRODUCE LEARNING OBJECTIVES. This lesson is provided as an introduction to the Marine Corps CPP. There are no Terminal or Enabling Learning Objectives for this lesson. 4. METHOD. This lesson will be taught in a classroom setting using lecture. 5. EVALUATION. The Marine will not be tested on the material in this lesson. TRANSITION: The intent of the CPP is to provide classroom, dry practice, and live fire training on basic and combat pistol marksmanship skills. Systematically, the emphasis of the training program shifts from fundamental to combat applications with skills gradually refined until Marines are at a combat ready level.
