RED STATUS INDICATORS
2-37. There are two types of red indicators (Figure 2-10). A flashing red indicator warns the gunner of
an emergency condition where action must be taken. A solid red indicator tells the gunner that the
Javelin is inoperative and a successful missile launch is not possible until corrective action is taken.
MISSILE BIT FAILURE Indicator
2-38. The MISSILE BIT FAILURE indicator is located on the bottom right side of the CLU display. A
steady light indicates that the missile BIT has detected a failure in the missile, and a flashing light
indicates a misfire when the gunner squeezes the fire trigger and the missile does not launch.
HANGFIRE Indicator
2-39. The HANGFIRE indicator is located on the bottom left side of the CLU display. The
HANGFIRE indicator flashes to indicate a missile hangfire when the gunner squeezes the fire trigger
and the missile does not launch.
BCU Indicator
2-40. The BCU indicator is located on the bottom left side of the CLU display. After seeker activation,
the BCU indicator flashes to indicate that the BCU has about 30 seconds of operating time remaining,
and it illuminates solid red when the BCU is spent.
CLU BATTERY Indicator
2-41. The CLU BATTERY indicator is located on the bottom left side of the CLU display. The
indicator lights up to indicate that the CLU battery has about 5 minutes of operating time remaining.
CLU BIT FAILURE Indicator
2-42. The CLU BIT FAILURE indicator is located on the center left side of the CLU display. The
CLU BIT FAILURE light comes ON when the CLU has failed an automatic BIT.

TRACK GATES
2-49. The track gates (Figure 2-14) are used by the gunner to lock the seeker on target. The gunner
activates the seeker and the track gates appear and flash in the CLU display. The track gates are a
visual indication the seeker is active but not locked on the target.
Figure 2-14. Track gates.
CROSSHAIRS
2-50. The gunner uses the crosshairs (Figure 2-15) to designate the center of mass, which the seeker
locks on. The crosshairs first appear and are flashing when the gunner squeezes and holds the seeker
trigger. After the seeker locks on the target, the track gates and crosshairs become solid.

TRAINING PROGRAM
The Javelin training program integrates the Javelin into the overall unit training
program to increase combat readiness and ensure that trainers and gunners are
proficient in operating and maintaining the Javelin.
SECTION I. GENERAL
The commander should conduct an accurate assessment to determine the initial and sustainment training
required to maintain the proficiency of assigned Javelin gunners. Unit training programs should include
Javelin gunner training; the unit’s battle focus and mission-essential task list (METL); and the supporting
Soldier, leader, and collective tasks.
TRAINING STRATEGY
3-1. The Javelin training strategy is composed of five primary components:
z
Initial training.
z
Sustainment training.
z
Collective training.
z
Force-on-force training.
z
Leader training.
INITIAL TRAINING
3-2. Initial gunner training is a prescriptive program of instruction (POI) conducted at the institution
and in the unit. This training consists of two weeks of instruction, culminating in the successful
completion of the gunner's skill test (GST).
SUSTAINMENT TRAINING
3-3. Sustainment training ensures retaining skills learned during initial training. This training takes
place entirely in the unit: monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, and annually. Gunners must retain their skills
by practicing engaging targets at least monthly. The gunner fires selected engagements from the
monthly sustainment exercises using the BST. The gunner practices field engagements using the FTT
every other month. Once a quarter, the gunner completes the entire GST. If the gunner does not
perform satisfactorily, he should be retrained until he qualifies.
COLLECTIVE TRAINING
3-4. Collective training takes place in the unit to integrate the Javelin into the unit’s overall combat
power. The Javelin is integrated into collective training using the FTT. Force-on-force training is
conducted with the FTT during squad platoon, company, and battalion field training exercises
(FTXs)/situational training exercises (STXs).
LEADER TRAINING
3-5. Leader training is conducted in both the institution and the unit. Leaders are taught to train,
maintain, and employ the Javelin in courses such as Officer and Noncommissioned Officer Education
Systems (OES and NCOES, respectively) This training must continue in units formally through
20 March 2008
FM 3-22.37
3-1
Chapter 3
noncommissioned officer (NCO) and officer development classes and informally through personal
initiative.
3-6. Javelin leadership training begins with the basic understanding of the Javelin, its capabilities and
limitations, moves to understanding the fundamentals of Javelin tactical employment, and includes
how to integrate the Javelin into company level training.
3-7. Leaders must learn how to employ the Javelin and integrate it into their units. Tactical exercises
without troops (TEWT) can be used to develop leaders' tactical understanding. (For more information
about tactical employment considerations, see Chapter 4.) Gunners may also be employed with their
squads to help train other squad or fire team members to perform their duties (providing security,
locating targets, etc.). After-action reviews (AAR) should be conducted after all training exercises, and
recommendations should be provided to the commander so that Javelin security, operation, and
employment considerations can be more effectively integrated into the unit training plan.
PREREQUISITES FOR ADDITIONAL SKILL IDENTIFIER
3-8. Normally, the 2C (Javelin Gunner) additional skill identifier (ASI) is awarded at the completion
of institutional training; however, initial gunner training can be conducted by the unit when school-
trained gunners are not available. This training should only be conducted by qualified Javelin trainers,
and only on an as needed basis, to maintain qualified gunners at the battalion level and above. The
course must be conducted in accordance with (IAW) the Javelin POI established by the USAIS.
NOTE: Units must provide qualified instructors who have completed the Basic
Noncommissioned Officer Course (BNCOC) and who are certified to conduct initial gunner
training, or who have completed the train-the-trainer program. The unit must contact the
Javelin course at USAIS for approval to conduct the Javelin Gunner's Course (JGC). USAIS
oversees and monitors all non-resident Javelin courses.
SECTION II. TRAIN THE TRAINER
The train-the-trainer program develops selected unit leaders into competent trainers prepared to teach other
Soldiers how to become Javelin gunners. To ensure trainer longevity, commanders should ensure that only
those personnel recently assigned are chosen to attend the Javelin train-the-trainer program.
TRAIN-THE-TRAINER PROGRAM
3-9. The train-the-trainer program provides unit-selected Javelin trainers with the skills and
knowledge necessary to teach gunners to apply Javelin gunner techniques. During this program,
trainers will also learn to develop and maintain a Javelin training program by which the unit can
sustain individual gunner proficiency. Soldiers attending this training receive instruction on—
z
Planning and scheduling Javelin training.
z
Setting up, operating, and maintaining Javelin training equipment.
z
Conducting individual and force-on-force training.
z
Coaching gunners on engagement skills.
z
Evaluating gunner training weaknesses.
z
Qualifying gunners.
z
Maintaining training records.

developing the technical skills required to become a Javelin gunner and for qualifying Javelin gunners.
Module 4: Field Tactical Trainer Operating Instructions
3-14. This module covers the use and operation of the FTT, a critical element in developing Javelin gunner
proficiency. The FTT is used to develop the skills required to engage targets under field conditions.
SUSTAINMENT TRAINING
3-15. After trainers complete the initial gunner training and Javelin device operational training, they
learn to develop a unit training program. The trainers' sustainment training includes practicing the
exercises in the BST annex and the FTT exercises in Table 3-1. The last piece of course instruction
addresses the planning and frequency of Javelin gunnery, and the documentation (recording and
maintaining gunner records) associated with training and qualification.
PROGRAM AUDIENCE
3-16. The train-the-trainer program has two target audiences: potential trainers and potential coaches.
TRAINERS
3-17. Trainers are proficient with the Javelin and can teach others to become Javelin gunners and
coaches. These Soldiers should be selected from the most highly qualified Soldiers in the unit.
COACHES
3-18. Coaches are Javelin gunners who can demonstrate the necessary warrior skills to assist other
Soldiers in learning basic Javelin gunnery skills. These Soldiers should be selected from unit gunners
who possess the desire and ability to train other Soldiers. Coaching has a two-fold benefit: (1) the
coach learns and retains the subject matter through repetitive training and demonstrated leadership
skills, and (2) other gunners can benefit from the one-on-one assistance.
STANDARDS FOR TRAINERS
3-19. Javelin instructors meet the same standards as Javelin gunners. Successful gunner experience is
an asset, but it is not necessarily an indicator of a good instructor. Each instructor must have the
confidence, willingness, knowledge, and skills required to train Soldiers to become consistent and
effective Javelin gunners in combat. Once selected, the instructors must have successfully completed a
train-the-trainer course. The unit commander is encouraged to periodically evaluate each trainer.

RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
3-20. When preparing Javelin instruction, the unit trainer determines the number of gunners to be
trained, the time frame for the training, and the resources required. At the beginning of each training
module, Soldiers attending institutional or unit Javelin courses receive a training support package that
provides a checklist of training requirements.
TRAINING SUPPORT PACKAGES
3-21. Javelin training support material is continually reviewed and updated by the Javelin training
team at the USAIS at Fort Benning, Georgia. There are two sets of media packages for the Javelin:
Training Device Course (TDC) and JGC. The entire JGC is presented in media packages featuring up-
to-date information and sound and video elements. A current version of the training materials can be
downloaded from the USAIS website.
TRAINING DEVICES
3-22. The Javelin weapon system includes three training devices: the BST, the FTT, and the MSR.
BASIC SKILLS TRAINER
3-23. The BST is the primary trainer used to train and qualify Soldiers on the Javelin. The BST
consists of two major assemblies: an instructor station and a Soldier station (Figure 3-1). The instructor
station consists of a personal computer equipped with special hardware and software, and the Soldier
station consists of an SCLU and an MSR. A cable links the Soldier station with the instructor station.
Figure 3-1. Basic skills trainer.
Instructor Station Features
3-24. At the instructor station, a desktop personal computer provides the means to install or upgrade
software, create and save gunner training records, and monitor gunner performance during a given
exercise. BST operators can enter and save gunner training record data on a 3.5-inch disk. The
instructor station also allows the operator to monitor the gunner's actions during each exercise. After
the exercise is over, the BST operator can critique the gunner's performance by replaying the exercise.

Training Program
Training Exercises
3-25. The BST contains training exercises for initial Javelin training and qualification, with two retest
exercises for each qualification exercise. Initial training and qualification exercises are stored in
separate directories, with expansion directories for sustainment and advanced gunnery training. The
exercises contain terrain models, three-dimensional target models, weather conditions (i.e., clear, rain,
snow, etc.), run times (1 to 7 minutes), and malfunctions (i.e., hangfire and misfire).
Soldier Station Features
3-26. The Soldier station equipment simulates the physical and operational characteristics of the
Javelin, including weight, point of balance, dimensions, hardware components, controls, and
indicators. It reproduces simulated battlefield imagery, visual indicators that the gunner uses during
target engagement, and operational sounds from a built-in speaker system.
Simulated Imagery
3-27. The computer-generated IR and daylight imagery reflects the magnification and spectral capabilities
of the Javelin. BST training exercises use digital images of real terrain from actual visible light and IR
imagery. As the gunner works through an exercise, identical imagery is displayed on the instructor station.
Simulated Battery Coolant Unit Removal and Replacement
3-28. The simulated BCU is fixed to the simulated round and cannot be removed during normal use.
The Soldier explains the actions that he would take to do so, and the BST operator removes and
replaces the BCU by an input at the instructor station.
FIELD TACTICAL TRAINER
3-29. The FTT is a fully integrated, three-dimensional force-on-force training device consisting of an
instructor station, a simulated round, a battery charger, and batteries
(Figure
3-2). The round
incorporates a MILES laser transmitter to allow simulated Javelin engagements during training
exercises. The FTT is designed to simulate the Javelin's operational and engagement parameters
(Figure 3-2).
NOTE: A Javelin CLU is required, but it is not a component supplied with the FTT.

Chapter 3
Field Tactical Trainer Instructor Station
3-30. The FTT instructor station consists of a backpack assembly that contains a video camera
recorder (VCR), a reformatter, and a fiber nickel cadmium (FNC) battery. The instructor station adds
the capability of monitoring, recording, and reviewing gunner activities on 8-millimeter videotape.
Field Tactical Trainer Simulated Round
3-31. The FTT simulated round is used to simulate the actual Javelin round and weighs slightly more
(about 2 pounds). Using the video from the NVS-WFOV, the round simulates Javelin seeker imagery
and inserts crosshairs and track gates; then, it sends the image to the CLU display.
Battery Charger
3-32. The battery charger is used to charge the FNC battery that powers the simulated round and the
instructor station.
Fiber Nickel Cadmium Batteries BB390 for the Command Launch Unit
3-33. These are for training use only.
Command Launch Unit
3-34. The CLU interfaces with the simulated round through an interface connector and the W1 cable.
MISSILE SIMULATION ROUND
3-35. The MSR is used to teach gunners how to handle, maintain, and carry the round. It consists of a
simulated launch tube that contains no instruments or circuitry, but has the weight and balance of the
live Javelin round.
BASIC SKILLS TRAINER SETUP OPERATIONS
3-36. The BST allows training gunners in a realistic training environment. This training is conducted
indoors using computer-generated terrain and target vehicles. The Javelin instructor must have the
following knowledge to use the BST effectively:
z
Major components, equipment characteristics, capabilities, and features.
z
Basic operation of the Javelin.
z
How to prepare the BST for operation.
z
How to conduct daily readiness check procedures.
z
How to prepare and maintain a Gunner Training Record.
z
How to prepare and conduct a BST exercise.
z
How to apply BST troubleshooting procedures.
z
How to maintain a BST.
z
How to prepare a BST for shipment or storage.
3-37. The BST is self-contained and comes in two transit cases containing the instructor station and
the Soldier station. The instructor station transit case contains the Javelin BST setup instructions. The
instructions explain how to set up the BST and include a wiring diagram.

3-38. Once the instructor station has been turned ON, the BST software icon is selected, and the Javelin
Main Menu window appears on the monitor, the instructor can select from the following directories:
z
Daily readiness check.
z
Exercise editor.
z

3-39. From this point on, the instructor can decide where he wants to go. The program is menu-driven.
EXERCISES
3-40. The Javelin exercises and exercise upgrades provided by the Javelin Project Management Office are
reviewed periodically by the USAIS. System upgrades are managed by the Javelin Project Manager.
COACHING TECHNIQUES
3-41. The instructor station allows the trainer/coach to see what the gunner sees as he works through
the performance steps. The various exercises work toward one goalʊa gunner who can detect,
identify, and successfully engage targets with the Javelin. The trainer/coach helps the gunner work
through the various exercises to develop techniques to engage the enemy. The BST records these
exercises so that the coach and gunner can review the events that occurred. The immediate feedback
allows the gunner to review his actions and learn from his successes and mistakes.
CONDUCT BASIC SKILLS TRAINER EXERCISES
3-42. The trainer/coach should have a complete understanding and the expertise to perform the
following tasks:
(1) Set up the instructor and Soldier stations. Perform a system check to ensure that they are
properly assembled.
(2) Provide the gunner’s briefing.
(3) Ensure that gunners assume the best firing position possible and that they always check the
backblast area before firing. The Javelin is balanced so the gunner can easily hold the
Javelin steady, acquire a target, and engage it. If the position is awkward, the gunner tires
quickly, making it more difficult for him to hold the Javelin steady while operating CLU
control switches.
(4) Watch the gunner adjust the focus adjustment ring. Ensure that the adjustment compensates
for the gunner's vision by asking the gunner to scan and identify targets.
(5) Guide the gunner through making necessary sight changes (i.e., when the target scene
changes). The brightness and contrast controls must be adjusted for changing conditions.
(6) Observe the gunner as he selects the FOV and the method of scanning (rapid, slow, or
detailed; day or night). Make notes for the AAR.
NOTE: The gunner should use the WFOV for scanning.
(7) Follow the gunner as he looks at his sector of fire to ensure that he covers the sector
completely and detects any sounds from or physical evidence of nearby vehicles. For
example, does the gunner hear any engine noises or see any vehicle exhaust or dust clouds?
20 March 2008
FM 3-22.37
3-7
Chapter 3
NOTES:
1. The gunner should use the WFOV to detect targets.
2. During limited visibility conditions, the gunner should look for any light
sources, such as a lit cigarette, headlights, or flashlights. During the day, the
gunner should look for light reflected from shiny surfaces.
(8) Ensure that the gunner correctly performs target detection and classification. Once the
gunner detects a potential target, he must classify it as wheeled or tracked and recognize it
as friendly or enemy. The coach and gunner should talk to each other during this process.
For example, the coach may ask the gunner what makes the target friendly or enemy, or the
gunner may have to identify the types of vehicles.
NOTE: The gunner should use the NFOV for classification and recognition.
(9) Ensure that the gunner correctly performs seeker lock-on and target engagement procedures.
To achieve seeker lock-on, the gunner must be able to adjust the track gates (see Chapter 4).
Observe where the gunner places the track gates on the target. This adjustment is a critical
step. Make sure that the gunner gets a good lock on the target. Observe the gunner to ensure
that he smoothly transitions into locking on the target, and follow the gunner during moving
target engagements. Once the gunner has identified the target as enemy, the gunner should
achieve seeker lock-on and fire.
(10) Conduct an AAR. The critique provides feedback to the gunner concerning his performance
during the exercise. There are several steps to the critique, including providing the score
computed by the BST, viewing a replay of the exercise, and determining whether to
override the exercise pass/fail status assigned by the BST. Critique the gunner's
performance by interpreting the system comments and providing an evaluation IAW
paragraph 7 of the exercise summary sheet. Record comments in the instructor’s comment
area of the Exercise Critique window.
FIELD TACTICAL TRAINER SETUP OPERATIONS
3-43. The FTT allows gunner training to be conducted in a field environment with actual target
vehicles. To use the FTT effectively, the Javelin trainer must be familiar with the Javelin's major
components, equipment characteristics, capabilities, and features; understand basic Javelin operation;
and know how to—
z
Prepare the FTT for operation.
z
Program an FTT using training exercise menus.
z

can review the exercise together and critique each engagement during the AAR.
GUNNER'S SKILL TEST EXECUTION
3-48. The GST evaluates the gunner’s skills and is used to qualify Javelin gunners. It consists of a
BST test, an FTT test, and a range card exercise (conducted in any sequence). Gunner supporting tasks
are listed in paragraphs 3-74 to 3-82.
BASIC SKILL TEST
3-49. The BST portion of the GST consists of a series of exercises used to evaluate the following skills:
z
Assume a Javelin firing position and demonstrate how to engage a target.
z
Replace a spent BCU.
z
Apply Javelin misfire procedures.
z
Engage two or more targets.
z
Terminate an engagement.
z

SECTION III. TRAIN THE GUNNER
The JGC, an 80-hour POI, is the base training for the Javelin gunner. The course curriculum covers a series
of instructor lectures and a combination of hands-on practice exercises (PEs) and paper evaluations. Three
training devices—the BST, the FTT, and the MSR—are used during the training, as well as the CLU and
training aids.
CONDUCT OF TRAINING
3-52. Training the gunner on the basic skills needed to engage and destroy enemy targets begins in the
classroom learning the Javelin and its capabilities. The gunner then learns how to engage targets using the
BST and reacts to warning indicators and malfunctions. The next step in training the gunner is how to
operate the FTT. Using a combination of lecture, demonstration, and hands-on training, the trainer is able
to teach the gunner how to become an effective Javelin gunner. The gunner is finally evaluated using a
series of tests on the BST, FTT, and standard range card. See Table 3-1, a notional training schedule.

PROGRAM EXECUTION
3-53. The gunner’s training program is designed to be taught in 10 days. Many units may not be able
to dedicate personnel and equipment assets for consecutive daily training. If this is the case, the
schedule can be modified, but units must avoid reducing the content of any training period. Each POI
is unique and plays an important part in the overall performance and understanding of the gunner.
Units modifying the schedule should keep the time between training periods as short as possible. When
a gap occurs between training events, a review of previous training must be planned at the start of the
next training period. Negative results are achieved when the training schedule is shortened. Units must
consider the following factors when deciding to modify (lengthen or split training periods/programs)
their gunner qualification program:
z
Quality of instruction must be maintained.
z
Tasks must be taught in a logical sequence.
z
Instructor continuity must be maintained.
3-10
FM 3-22.37

Training Program
CENTRALIZED TRAINING
3-54. Centralized Javelin training is highly recommended. The decision to use centralized training
depends on the availability of the following training resources:
z
Equipment and facilities.
z
Personnel.
z
Time.
z
Tasks.
3-55. Centralized training establishes and maintains unit standards, but should not replace or
undermine the small unit leader. It should maximize the limited resources because the available
number of training devices may limit the choice to centralized training.
EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
3-56. Control of the BST and FTT should be centralized.
PERSONNEL
3-57. A train-the-trainer program is developed to maintain a pool of trainers for a successful training
program at the unit level. At least one Soldier at the company level should be trainer-qualified.
TIME
3-58. Until a train-the-trainer program has produced a sufficient number of trained Soldiers,
centralized training is conducted to save time and resources.
TASKS
3-59. When considering centralized training, the commander identifies the tasks required to achieve
training objectives and support the unit METL. Tasks that are not critical are taught during individual
or unit sustainment training.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
3-60. Training objectives are statements that describe what the gunner should be able to do at the end of the
lesson. Each training objective consists of three statements: an action, the conditions, and the standards.
ACTION
3-61. The “action” statement describes a clearly defined and measurable activity that the gunner must
accomplish.
CONDITIONS
3-62. The “conditions” statement defines the circumstances and environment in which the gunner must
perform the activity defined in the “action” statement.
STANDARDS
3-63. The “standards” statement defines the minimum acceptable proficiency at which the gunner
must perform the activity defined in the “action” statement.
PRACTICE EXERCISES
3-64. A PE is a tool used to determine if Soldiers understood the information received during the
instruction. PEs may be conducted as either a written or a hands-on exercise.
20 March 2008
FM 3-22.37
3-11
Chapter 3
WRITTEN EXERCISE
3-65. A written exercise verifies how well Soldiers retained information given for knowledge-based
tasks (i.e., system capabilities, etc.). A written exercise may be a fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, or
matching exercise.
HANDS-ON EXERCISE
3-66. A hands-on exercise determines how well Soldiers perform with the Javelin equipment (i.e.,
preparing the Javelin for firing, engaging targets, assuming carry configurations, and restoring the
Javelin to a carry configuration). During a hands-on exercise, Soldiers should use tactical equipment or
a training device to perform the action, while having their actions checked against a checklist.
EVALUATION SYSTEM
3-67. Soldiers' progress is evaluated throughout the course using PEs. A GST is given at the end of the
course.
PRACTICE EXERCISES
3-68. This training method provides input on Soldier retention. A PE gives the Soldier a chance to
practice the Javelin gunner skills learned in class. It is not a test, but the Soldier is evaluated to provide
feedback on proficiency of those skills. If the Soldier is given a “T” (trained), he is considered trained
on that information. If the Soldier is given a “P” (practice), he should be given additional time to
practice those skills or reread the information, and retested immediately. If the Soldier receives a “U”
(untrained), he should receive additional training to ensure that he did not misunderstand the principles
involved.
GUNNER'S SKILL TEST
3-69. During the GST, Soldiers are evaluated in three areas: the BST, the FTT, and range card
preparation.
Basic Skills Trainer
3-70. Soldiers are required to complete 11 qualification exercises on the BST. In each of these
exercises, he will be graded automatically by the BST and on observations made by the instructor. The
minimum standard for any qualification exercise is 70 percent. To pass, he must achieve the minimum
score on all 11 qualification exercises. If a Soldier receives a “NO GO” for any qualification exercise,
he will have up to two opportunities to retest on that exercise.
Field Tactical Trainer
3-71. During the FTT portion, the Soldier will rotate through five stations—one for maintenance and the
other four for firing at targets on a range. At each firing station, he will be given instructions similar to
those that a Javelin gunner would receive upon arrival at a fighting position. He is expected to carry out
those instructions just as he has learned to do during the course. When he rotates from one station to
another, he will be told to assume a specific carry configuration, which will be graded. At each station, he
will be graded as a “GO” or a “NO GO.” To pass, he must receive a “GO” at all stations.
Range Card Preparation
3-72. During the range card preparation, he will complete a standard range card as he was taught in
class. This portion is graded as “GO/NO GO.” To pass, he must receive a “GO.”

SAFETY
3-73. Safety is everyone’s responsibility. Trainers must immediately correct any identified unsafe or
harmful acts and conditions, thereby preventing personal injury, illness, and damage to government
property. See Appendix A.
GUNNER QUALIFICATION PROGRAM
3-74. The Javelin gunner is qualified by a series of training events beginning with the JGC. The
gunner passes the GST to successfully complete the JGC. In the unit, the GST is conducted quarterly.
