Soldiers from the Army Reserve fire a variety of US machine guns
Army basic marksmanship training consists of three phases. Training to become a marksman lasts approximately 2-3 weeks and ends with qualification testing, where you must pass with at least a minimum score to graduate. Passing the marksmanship training course will earn you an Army marksmanship badge. You must hit 23 to 29 out of the 40 targets to earn that qualification. If you do a little better (30-35), you qualify for the sharpshooter badge. To get an expert badge, you must hit at least 36 targets.
Phase 1
During the first phase, you learn how to disassemble, clean and reassemble your weapon as well as safe handling procedures. You find out how to load and unload the weapon safely, but you won't fire it during this phase. #Shorts
