APPENDIX D
Stinger Crew Drills
This appendix sets forth the standardized crew drills for the Stinger weapon system and is designed to train the Stinger crew to perform their mission in a cohesive, efficient, and pro-fessional manner in a training/combat environment.
Modern warfare has expanded the battlefield from the old concept of frontlines, rear areas, and specific enemy and friendly lines to an in-depth, three-dimensional, 360° attack and defend environment. To add complexity to the battlefield, advances in weapon systems and electronic technology are significantly affecting military concepts and operations. These conditions demand the ultimate coordinated efficiency on the modern battlefield. Because of the lethality of the threat environment, current doctrine emphasizes winning the first battle.
This appendix emphasizes those drills which are essential in the accomplishment of the MANPAD unit mission and which add to survival and success on the modern battlefield in any part of the world where MANPAD teams will be utilized.
The four basic drills included in this appendix are to be performed in a standardized manner without error or safety violations. The drills must be practiced to the degree of proficiency that the MANPAD crewman will react from rote.

APPENDIX E
Emergency Warning Signals
Air attacks will be swift and often unexpected. Therefore, early warning of a probable attack is necessary to give troops a chance to take cover. This warning may be passed through normal command channels, given by local observation posts (OP), MANPAD teams, or air sentries. All OPs should have air watch included in their duties, and alertness for enemy aircraft required as part of normal observation. They will not always have a good view of the air around them, in which case a special air guard must be detailed. All vehicles should have an air guard detailed. High-speed, low-flying aircraft are difficult to detect. Hostile, low-flying aircraft may appear suddenly from behind low hills, belts of trees, or haze. To gain surprise, they will try to attack you with the sun behind them.

APPENDIX F
MANPAD in an NBC Environment
AllNBC weapons have an inherent residual effect that presents a hazard to both enemy and friendly forces. Nuclear bursts create local contamination of an area around ground zero and may produce radioactive fallout which can contaminate thousands of square kilometers. Some chemical and biological weapons create airborne hazards which can be carried downwind for long distances while others can contaminate terrain with long-term effectiveness. Areas affected by airborne residual effects are determined primarily by the speed and direction of the wind in the target area and the persistency of the weapon used.
