I am planning a Mortar Gunnery but I am not finding a lot out there. I see FM 3-22.90 - Mortars, but it really don't go into Gunnery and the requirements of going into a live fire. I believe there are some new publications coming out but is there anything that hits on the Tables and Gates in one publication. I am focusing on 120mm in a M113. Does anyone out there have their plan or can share their insight.

Insure your weapons card (2408-4) for each tube is up to date and tube borescope and pullover has been preformed. This is done by Field Maintenance IAW TM 9-1000-202-35 Evaluation of Cannon Tubes and local policys. Tube is not to be fired if 2408-4 is not up to date. Have seen many sad faces when thwy were not allowed to fire because of this.

"Hey Little Dittle, Far pole in the middle." remember that when your registering your motors and putting in your poles.

Not sure of the changes in FM's, but FM-23-91 Mortar Gunnery covered the execution of live fires and the gunners exam. Also, FM 7-90 Tactical Employment of Mortars is good reference for planning an FTX, but not much in gunnery itself.
