  • LFAM (Live Fire And Maneuver) ranges are typically conducted at the squad, platoon, and company levels.
    The role of a Platoon Sergeant during conduct is to coordinate casualty care and to work alongside the Platoon Commander by assisting with controlling key events during the assault and with the coordination and control of supporting agencies.
    The down side of doing any job higher than a squad leader is that you rarely ever get to pull the trigger. As a Platoon level leader, weapons are your squad leaders and your radio. However, if you get a chance to sneak in some full auto… well…
    One thing of note, all those people standing up are safety officers and company leadership viewing the range, not the Marines actually executing the range.
    Never Stand when you can Kneel, never Kneel when you can Prone, use Cover at every opportunity, and never forget to assess suppression before moving.
    “On the battlefield, a zero-defect mentality has little value: if people are afraid of making mistakes… they will not take risks and they will not exercise initiative. Furthermore, they will not win the war. In combat, the leader must personally supervise only those actions that jeopardize the overall mission, and then allow subordinates to exercise individual initiative (and make a few mistakes) on everything else.” -H.J. Poole, ‘The Last Hundred Yards’
