Job description

An auto rifleman is under direct orders from the squad leader and focuses his firepower on enemy troop concentrations of four or more. The auto rifleman will place his weapon into the most likely avenue of approach considering terrain, cover and sector of observation. As the main suppressive weapon, you provide cover fire while the second fireteam bounds into position.

Responsibilities

• Provide mid-range suppressive fire
• Situational awareness
• Choosing suitable weapon positions

Extended profile

As an automatic rifleman, you support your squad leader with whatever he needs. Your main task is to provide suppressive or covering fire. Coordinate with a second auto rifleman to divide the sectors and create effective crossfire. Moving in a formation you will often be the point man. From the front, you will be able to provide imminent suppressive fire.

As an auto rifleman, you have multiple options in weapons and types of ammunition. We advise the Mk 200 in 200 rounds belts. It will provide you with sustainable accurate suppressive fire at close to medium ranges. With tracer ammunition, it gives you the option to indicate the location of enemy troops to other squad members, at the loss of giving away your position.
