Training Circular TC 7-9 Infantry Live-Fire Training April 2014 This publication bridges the gap between individual and collective marksmanship training. It addresses both fire and maneuver with emphasis on LFXs for dismounted infantry. This publication is for use by all leaders of infantry units and should be used in conjunction with ARTEP 7-8-MTP and ARTEP 7-7J-MTP. It provides guidance and examples to help the commander set up his own LFXs based on his unit's METL. It complements existing training manuals and assists commanders in planning, executing, and evaluating LFXs. Some duplication occurs among chapters. The intent is to allow junior leaders executing training to read and copy only those chapters pertaining to them. This publication focuses on training the trainer to conduct measurable and realistic LFXs at buddy-team through platoon level. It also provides the company, battalion, and brigade with a document that outlines the resources available and their costs. It is not a sole-source document. (See the references for a list of manuals to study before conducting an LFX.) Leaders should always check Army and installation safety regulations, and doctrine and training manuals before conducting an LFX.
