Iraqi instructors from K1 Training Center provide classes on the 81mm mortar.
KIRKUK, Iraq - The 2nd and 3rd Iraqi army divisions are professionalizing their forces with 81mm mortar training at the Kirkuk Training Center this month. The divisions have been training since Nov. 1.
The 81mm mortar operation requires proficiency and teamwork, said Iraqi Maj. Mohammed, the regional training center weapon wing commander.
This program instructs Iraqi soldiers to engage targets by "direct lay", in which a gunner identifies a target and adjusts fire incrementally onto the target.
"The training prepares soldiers to work collectively with forward observers and the fire direction center, when the gunner cannot see the target," Mohammed said. This indirect fire process requires that all the soldiers on the mortar team have knowledge on multiple military disciplines including target identification, map reading, navigation and math skills. These students also successfully completed literacy and mathematics exams, a land navigation and terrain association course as well as map reading.
"As a prerequisite for course completion, the soldiers will be required to successfully complete a written examination and participate in live-fire practical exercises," Mohammed said. The mortar training concludes Nov. 28.
