I am looking for any FM that would have a SOP for m16/m4 ranges utilizing cover.  Does anyone have any info?  I was reading FM 3-22.9 and they have all sorts of information for rapid fire training programs and the like, but when it comes to trying to get the use of cover integrated during a range they only briefly gloss over that cover might come in handy.  7-6 in there covers urban operations firing positions, but it does not tell you how to integrate them into a range.  I would just throw up some plywood barriers and go from there, but I was told this has to be to standard.  Any info would be appreciated.

I don't think there is a standard for integrating into a range.

You might want to try asking this on the NCO net, or possibly even the AKO forums (and good luck with that crapshoot).  Maybe even shoot off an email/letter to the Infantry school as this would be part of their domain.

I found tc 90-1 which is training for urban ops may 2008.  It has a lot of good stuff in it, but it's mostly shoot houses and things like that.  You would think there would be some standard for that stuff.  Thanks for the advice.  I am probably going to shoot a few emails.

I know this thing exists.

That pdf on page 12 has a story about a barricade course at JMTC with a photo of some guy shooting from behind a plywood wall.  It sounds like it's not at static course, but a move and shoot kind.  This seems to be quite the elusive beast.
