Preface
This manual contains a common task plan for skill levels (SL) 1 through 4 soldiers. It contains
standardized training objectives, in the form of task summaries that support unit missions during
wartime.
Training support information, such as reference materials, is also included. Trainers and first-
line supervisors should ensure soldiers holding MOS 96U have access to this publication in their
work areas, unit learning center, and unit library. This manual applies to both active and
Reserve Components (National Guard and Army Reserve).
The proponent of this manual is the Commander, United States Army Training and Doctrine
Command (TRADOC), with the Commander, U.S. Army Intelligence Center and Fort Huachuca
designated as the preparing agency.
Users of this publication are encouraged to recommend changes and submit comments for its
improvement. Comments should identify the task title and number, specific page, paragraph,
and line of text for the recommended change. Provide reasons for each comment to ensure
understanding and complete evaluation.
Prepare comments using DA Form

Chapter 1
Introduction
1-1. GENERAL.
a. This manual identifies the individual MOS training requirements for soldiers in MOS
96U. Commanders, trainers, and soldiers should use it to plan, conduct, and evaluate individual
training in their unit. This manual is the primary MOS reference to support the self-development
and training of every 96U soldier.
b. Use this manual with the soldier’s manuals of common tasks (STP 21-1-SMCT and
STP 21-24-SMCT), Army training and evaluation program (ARTEP) mission training plans
(MTP), and FM 7-1 to establish effective training plans and programs that integrate soldier,
leader, and collective tasks.
1-2. TASK SUMMARIES.
Task summaries outline the performance requirements of each critical task in the soldier
training publication
(STP). They provide the soldier and the trainer with the information
necessary to prepare, conduct, and evaluate critical task training. At a minimum, task
summaries include information the soldier must know and the skills that he must perform to
standard for each task. The format for the task summaries included in this STP is as follows:
(1) Task Number. A 10 alpha-numeric identifier for the task. Include it along with the
task title in any correspondence relating to the task.
(2) Task Title. The task title identifies the action to be performed.
(3) Conditions. The task conditions identify all the equipment, tools, references, job
aids, and supporting personnel the soldier needs to perform the task. This section identifies any
environmental conditions
(such as visibility, temperature, or wind) that can alter task
performance. This section also identifies any specific cues or events (such as chemical attack)
that may trigger task performance.
(4) Standards. The task standards describe how well and to what level the soldier
must perform a task. Standards are typically described in terms of accuracy, completeness,
and speed.
(5) Performance Steps. This section identifies a summary of the specific actions the
soldier must do to successfully complete the task.
(6) Evaluation Preparation. This section lists any special setup procedures and
instructions, or modifications to task performance necessary to evaluate a task that cannot be
trained to the wartime standard under wartime conditions. It may also include special training
and evaluation preparation instructions to accommodate those modifications and instructions
that should be given to the soldier before evaluation.
(7) Performance Measures. This section identifies the actions necessary to objectively
observe and determine if a task performer has performed the task to the prescribed standard.
These measures are derived from the task performance steps during task analysis.
1-1
STP 34-96U14-SM-TG
(8) Evaluation Guidance. This section indicates requirements for receiving a passing
score and any other special guidance for the task evaluator.
“Mark each performance measure either GO or NO GO. The soldier must complete all
substeps to receive a GO for that measure. All measures must be marked GO to receive
an overall GO on the task. If the soldier fails any measure, show what was done wrong
and how to do it correctly.”
(9) References. This section identifies references that provide a more detailed and
thorough explanation of task performance requirements than those given in the performance
step summary description.
1-3. SOLDIER’S RESPONSIBILITIES. Each soldier is responsible for performing individual
tasks that the first-line supervisor identifies based on the unit’s mission essential task list
(METL). The soldier must perform the task to the standards listed in this STP. If the soldier has
a question about how or which tasks to perform in this manual, the soldier must ask the first-line
supervisor for clarification. The first-line supervisor should know how to perform each task, or
be able to direct the soldier to the appropriate training materials.
1-4. NCO SELF-DEVELOPMENT AND THE SOLDIER’S MANUAL (STP).
a. Self-development is one of the key components of the leader development program. It
is a planned, progressive, and sequential program followed by leaders to enhance and sustain
their military competencies. It consists of individual study, research, professional reading,
practice, and self-assessment. Under the self-development concept the NCO, as an Army
professional, has the responsibility to remain current in all phases of the MOS. The STP is the
primary source for the NCO to use in maintaining MOS proficiency.
b. Another important resource for NCO self-development is the Army correspondence
course program (ACCP). Refer to DA Pam 350-59 for information on courses available, or visit
the ACCP website at http://www.atsc.army.mil/accp/aipd.htm for course information and
enrollment.
1-5. TRAINING SUPPORT. This manual includes additional training support information.
a. Glossary. The glossary is a single, comprehensive list of acronyms, abbreviations,
definitions, and letter symbols.
b. References. This appendix contains a list of references, which support training of all
tasks in this STP. Required references are listed in the condition statement and are required for
the soldier to do the task. Related references are materials, which help a trainer, prepare for
the task but are not required to perform the task.

Trainer's Guide
2-1. GENERAL. The MOS training plan (MTP) identifies the essential components of a unit
training plan for individual training. Units have different training needs and requirements based
on differences in environment, location, equipment, dispersion, and other similar factors.
Therefore, this MTP should be used as a guide for conducting unit training and not a rigid
standard. The MTP consists of two parts. Each part is designed to assist the commander in
preparing a unit training plan that satisfies integration, cross training, training up, and
sustainment training requirements for soldiers in this MOS.
a. Part One of the MTP shows the relationship of an MOS skill level between duty
position and critical tasks. These critical tasks are grouped by task commonality into subject
areas.
(1) Section I lists subject area numbers and titles used throughout the MTP. These
subject areas are used to define the training requirements for each duty position within an MOS.
(2) Section II identifies the total training requirement for each duty position within an
MOS and provides a recommendation for cross training and train-up/merger training.
• Duty position column. This column lists the duty positions of the MOS, by skill
level; each skill level has different training requirements.
• Subject area column. This column lists, by numerical key (see Section I), the
subject areas in which a soldier must be proficient to perform in that duty position.
• Cross Train column. This column lists the recommended duty position for which
soldiers should be cross trained.
• Train-up/merger column. This column lists the corresponding duty position for
the next higher skill level or MOSC into which the soldier will merge on promotion.
b. Part Two lists, by general subject areas, the critical tasks to be trained in an MOS and
the type of training required (resident, integration, or sustainment).
• Subject area column. This column lists the subject area number and title in the
same order as Section I, Part One of the MTP.
• Task number column. This column lists the task numbers for all tasks included
in the subject area.
• Title column. This column lists the task title for each task in the subject area.
• Training location column. This column identifies the training location where the
task is first trained to soldier training publications standards. If the task is first trained to
standard in the unit, the word “unit” will be in this column. If the task is first trained to standard
in the training base, it will identify, by brevity code (ANCOC, BNCOC), the resident course
where the task was taught. Figure 2-1 contains a list of training locations and their
corresponding brevity codes.

EMPLACE AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) FUEL POINT (HUNTER)
Conditions: Given an emplacement site, two 5-ton fuel trucks, grounding equipment, waste
fuel barrel, fuel sample container(s), environmental protection equipment, personal protective
equipment (PPE), and TM 5-4930-230-13.
Standards: Emplace an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fuel point in accordance with
TM 5-4930-230-13.
Performance Steps
1.
Determine the location.
Choose a site that will allow for the AV to enter and exit the fuel point safely. The site must
be flat or have only a slight slope.
2.
Layout the site.
a. Ensure the spacing between aircraft is at least 100 feet.
b. Lay out so the wind will carry fuel vapors away from the site. This is the best layout.
Remember that fuel vapors are heavier than air and they will pool in a valley or hollow.
If the site slopes, layout the equipment on the higher ground.
c. Ensure that the equipment is not laid out in a place where a spill will drain into a stream
or river. A spill could contaminate the water and create an unsuspected fire hazard
downstream of the site. Choose a part of the site that is firm enough to support the
weight of the aircraft, vehicles, and other heavy equipment (such as 50-gallon drums).
d. Place the equipment and fuel drums in woods or brush, along a hedgerow, or in
positions where natural shadows will disguise the shadow patterns of the equipment. It
may be possible to conceal most of the hose in the woods, with the nozzles hung on
hangers at the edge of the tree line. Deep grass can be bent over the hoses to help
conceal them. When spray paint is available, use earth and grass tones to dull and
conceal couplings and fittings. If necessary, use heaped dirt or large rocks along the
side of the hoses (never on top) to break up the characteristic straight shadows.
Remember that shadow patterns change during the day. Move equipment, if necessary,
to use these changing patterns.
3.
Prepare the site.
Remove all sticks, stones, and debris from the area. Also clear the immediate refueling
area and paths of approach. To prevent fires, clear dry grasses, leaves, and brush
away from the pumping assembly. In some cases, engineer personnel prepare the site.
This occurs when the site must be bulldozed (on a mountain) or if the site must be
treated with dust suppressant (in a sandy desert). In such cases, the company or
battalion operations officer must arrange for site preparation, in advance, with the
engineers.
4.
Emplace the equipment.
a. Emplace the equipment in a way that is best for the specific situation. Layout to avoid
obstacles, to take advantage of terrain features, to achieve maximum dispersion, and to
operate within a restricted amount of space.
3-2
MOS/Skill Level Tasks-Skill Level 1
Performance Steps
CAUTION
When coupling hoses together, never take a dust cap or plug
off an opening until ready to couple the next piece of
equipment. Follow the same rule, in reverse, when
uncoupling. Uncouple, drain, then cap or plug immediately.
Couple removed caps and plugs together to keep them
clean. Keep dirt out of the system. Remember that the
readiness of the aircraft depends on the quality of the fuel
pumped into them.
b.
Place the 5-tons on a cleared level spot. When feasible, secondary containment should
be provided underneath vehicles.
c.
Drive one ground rod into the ground for each vehicle. Drive a separate ground for the
AV when refueling/defueling.
(1) Grounding.
(a) The earth, particularly soft damp earth, can accept electrical charges. The
charges dissipate harmlessly. To ground a piece of equipment means to provide
a conductive path into the ground so a static charge will not be trapped on the
surface of the equipment where it could discharge as a spark. This conductive
path is made by connecting a conductive cable from the piece of equipment to a
conductive metal rod that is driven into the earth to reach the level of permanent
ground moisture. The connection to the piece of equipment must be made to a
clean, unpainted, non-oxidized metal surface. In the arctic regions it is hard to
get a good ground because of frozen soil. Moisture in the soil freezes when
temperatures go below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Several ground rods may need
to be driven in at different locations to as great a depth as possible. Another
solution is to try to locate a grounding system near a source of heat. If there are
metal buildings or underground pipes nearby, a ground is connected to them. In
some warmer areas, rocky or sandy soil makes it hard to get a good ground
because such soils have a low conductivity. Chemicals can be used to condition
the soil and to raise its conductivity. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), copper
sulfate (blue vitriol), calcium chloride, sodium chloride (common table salt), and
potassium nitrate (saltpeter) are used for soil conditioning. Common table salt
will probably be the easiest to get in the field. Before using the salt, dig a hole
about one foot deep and three feet across. Mix five pounds of salt with five
gallons of water. Pour the mixture into the hole, and allow it to seep in. Install the
ground rod and wire, and keep the soil around the rod moist. Ground rods are
usually made of galvanized iron, galvanized steel or copper-weld steel. The rod
regularly used for grounding is line item number (LIN) S08698, NSN 5975-
00224-5260. This ground rod is 3/4-inch in diameter and six feet long, and is
made of galvanized steel.
3-3
STP 34-96U14-SM-TG
Performance Steps
(b) The rod is driven into the earth to reach below the permanent ground moisture
level. On the apron or ramp of a fixed airfield, the top of the rod should be level
with the surrounding surface. At other facilities, the top of the rod should be
either low enough or high enough so people will not trip over it. If the top of the
rod is level with the surrounding surface, an area around the top of the rod must
be dished out so ground cable clips can be attached to the rod. Tiedown bolts
embedded in concrete ramps at fixed airfields may be used as ground
connections if they meet the requirements for good resistance. If using tiedown
bolts, ensure that the ground connections are to the eye of the bolt, not to the
tiedown ring.
(c) A yellow circle that is 18 inches in diameter, with a 2-inch (approximately 5
centimeters) black border surrounding it, should encircle each rod that is
installed in a hard surface permanently or semi-permanently. These circles must
be painted on. The words STATIC GROUND CONNECTION and a numeric or
alphanumeric identification of the rod must be stenciled in black on the yellow
circle. The number and spacing of fixed rods should be determined by the
requirements of the local situation. Markings of this type are not required for
temporary ground rods.
(2) Grounding methods.
(a) There is no quick or easy way to test the adequacy of a ground. The testing
procedures are complex, and the equipment used in testing is bulky and
expensive. For these reasons, several methods or levels of grounding and
bonding are required to meet the various operational needs of the Army.
(b) In method 1, equipment is grounded to a rod or rods that have measured
resistance to ground equal to, or less than, 10,000 ohms. The refueling system
or vehicle and the aircraft are grounded to this tested ground rod. In addition, the
nozzle is bonded to the aircraft. The marking and testing requirements outlined
above apply to method 1 grounding and bonding. Use of method 1 grounding is
required unless conditions, as described below, preclude its use. Method 1 is the
only standard of grounding acceptable, without specific authorization, at any
fixed airfield or refueling point. It is the best and safest method.
3-4
MOS/Skill Level Tasks-Skill Level 1
Performance Steps
(c) In some instances, equipment is not available to test resistance to ground. In
such cases, method 2 is used. Method 2 uses an untested ground—a grounding
system based on the knowledge that damp earth will accept and drain off an
electrical charge. Usually, method 2 is used only when the location, tactical
situation, or type of operation makes it impossible to test ground rods or to mark
them in the manner appropriate for fixed rods. In method 2, equipment is
grounded to a rod or rods that are driven a specific depth into the ground
depending on the type of soil (see table 7-2) at the site. The depth to which the
rods must be driven is determined by the normal depth of permanent ground
moisture in the various types of soils. The refueler and the aircraft are then
grounded, and the nozzle is bonded to the aircraft. The commander of the
operating unit must authorize the use of method 2. This method is less desirable.
It should be used only when it is impossible to use method 1. In situations where
the climate, terrain, or tactical condition makes it impossible to secure a
satisfactory ground rod, the requirements to ground the aircraft and the fuel
dispenser (system or refueler) may be waived. However, the requirement to
bond the fuel dispenser to the aircraft may not be waived under any
circumstances.
WARNING
When method 3 is used, an object that has a different electrical
potential (any object that is not part of the bonded system)
should not be allowed to come into contact with the bonded
equipment when a flammable vapor-air mixture may be present.
(d) Method 3 relies on bonding alone. A bond is made between the aircraft and the
refueling system or refueler and between the nozzle and the aircraft. A contact
between an unbonded object and the system could produce a spark that could
set off an explosion or fire. The commander of the aviation unit, one
organizational level above the operating unit, must authorize method 3
procedures. This is the least desirable method since it involves solely bonding.

(2) Secondary containment for any long-term storage of fuel (fuel sample bottles).
(3) Secondary containment for putting underneath AV when refueling.
(4) Eye wash station.
(5) Firefighting equipment (ax, pick, shovel, fire extinguishers, and fire blanket).
(6) Fuel spill resources (dry sweep, brooms, and shovels).
5.
React to emergencies.
a. Prepare for fuel spills.
(1) Fuel spills are classified according to the area covered by the spill. The area of
contact between the fuel and the air determines the seriousness of a fuel spill. It is
on or above this surface that a flammable, vapor-air mixture can form and fire can
take place. The number of square feet covered by the spill is more important than
the amount of fuel spilled. The types of fuel spills are described below.
(a) Small priming spill: A small priming spill is one that covers less than 18 inches in
all directions.
(b) Small spill: A small spill is one that is less than 10 feet in any direction or that
covers less than 50 square feet. It is not a continuous spill.
(c) Large spill: A spill that is larger than 10 feet in any direction, that covers an area
larger than 50 square feet, or that is continuous (a tank leak) is classified as a
large spill.
(2) Fuel spill cleanup: Every spill, no matter how small, should be reported and
investigated so the cause can be determined and future spills prevented. Every spill
should be treated as a potential source of fire. Cleanup procedures are described
below.
3-6
MOS/Skill Level Tasks-Skill Level 1
Performance Steps
(a) All spills: The chief of the fire crew or other responsible authority must give
detailed instructions. Each spill situation must be treated as an individual case
because of size, type of fuel involved, wind conditions, weather, equipment
available, possible involvement of aircraft or refueling vehicles, and other similar
variables. In general, the following are basic actions that should be considered
and carried out:
• Stop the flow of fuel if at all possible.
• Shut down operations in the area of the spill, or the whole refueling point if
necessary.
• Notify firefighting support activities if the spill is serious. Call for help
immediately. Once started, aviation fuel fires spread quickly. Reaction speed
is the single most important element in fighting a fuel fire successfully.
• Check thoroughly for fuel vapors trapped in an aircrafts structure if fuel is
spilled on or into an aircraft. Be sure the vapors have dissipated before the
aircraft is returned to service.
• Absorb spilled fuel or allow it to evaporate before using the spill area for
operation.
• Small priming spills: A small priming spill is not usually dangerous unless it
is near equipment or personnel. A fireguard should stand by the spill area
with a fire extinguisher.
(b) Small spills: Stop operations at the spill site, and post a fireguard by the spill. If
the spilled fuel has not caught fire, the type of surface on which the fuel has
spilled determines actions. If the spill is on concrete or a similar hard surface,
use an absorbent material. (It is hazardous to use rags to clean up the spill of a
low flash point fuel such as AVGAS or JP-4.) Place the fuel-contaminated
absorbent material in a covered metal container until it can be burned. If the fuel
is spilled on the earth or on a hard surface that is well removed from any
operational area, rope off the spill area until the fuel evaporates and the vapors
dissipate. Post a fireguard and do not allow personnel or operations in the area
until it is free of fuel and vapors.
(c) Large spills: As with all other spills, the first thing to do is to stop the flow of fuel
if possible. At a permanent airfield or large temporary refueling point where there
is a fire department or fire brigade, call the fire fighters immediately and stop
operations in the area. As soon as fire assistance has been called, the actions
described below should be performed as necessary.
(3) Personnel. It may be necessary to have all personnel leave an aircraft if the spill is at
or near it. No one should move through the spill area. If anyone gets fuel on his
clothes, he should take them off only after thoroughly soaking the clothes in
water. He should then wash with soap and water. Any person whose clothes are on
fire should roll or be rolled on the ground to put out the fire or be wrapped in a
blanket to smother flames.
3-7
STP 34-96U14-SM-TG
Performance Steps
(4) Mobile refueling equipment. This presents a problem because it may be the largest
single source of fuel near the spill. If the spilled fuel has not caught fire, it may be
that starting the engine of a refueler or any other vehicle could supply the spark that
would ignite the spill or vapors. The decision on what procedure is least
hazardous—driving the refueler away or not starting the engine—must be made on
the spot by the fire chief or the person in charge. If the vehicle engine is running,
normal practice is to drive the vehicle away from the spill unless this would pose an
unacceptable risk to the driver.
(5) Equipment. If an equipment engine is operating in the area of the spill and it is to be
shut down, the engine speed should be cut back to idle before the engine is shut off.
This is a precaution against backfiring.
b.
Prepare for fires.
(1) Classes of fires: Underwriters' Laboratories, Incorporated, groups fires into Class A,
B, and C. The National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) groups them into
Class A, B, C, and D. The four classes are described below.
(a) Class A: These are fires that break out in combustibles (such as wood, brush,
grass, and rubbish). This type of fire can occur around a pumping assembly and
refueling area.
(b) Class B: These are fires that break out in flammable liquids (such as fuels,
solvents, lubricants, paints, and similar substances). These fires leave no
embers. This type of fire is the principal concern at refueling points. Class A and
C fires can become Class B fires at a refueling point because any source of
ignition may set fire to aviation fuel.
(c) Class C: These are fires that involve live electrical equipment (such as motors,
switches, and transformers). A Class C fire can occur in the electrical system of
an aircraft during rapid refueling, in a refueling vehicle, or in any electrical
equipment that is operating at the refueling area.
(d) Class D: These are fires involving combustible metals. This type of fire can
occur at a refueling point if an aircraft body begins to burn.
(2) Principles of extinguishing fires: The three elements of fire are fuel, air (oxygen),
and heat (a source of ignition). The basic principle of firefighting is to eliminate one
or more of these elements so that fire can be controlled. They are described briefly
below.
(a) Control of fuel: The first effort in firefighting should be to stop the flow of fuel.
This is usually done by shutting down the pump or by cutting off the fuel flow at
the nearest valve.
(b) Control of air: Since it is impossible to remove air (oxygen) from an outdoor site,
diluting, smothering, or chain breaking implements the principle of cutting off the
oxygen supply.
(c) Diluting: The air around a fire can be diluted with carbon dioxide, a water fog or
mist, or steam until there is not enough oxygen present to support the fire. An
air-diluting agent must be used continuously for a fire to go out.

(d) Smothering: Smothering is placing a layer of material between the fire and its
source of oxygen. In a small fire, this smothering layer may be a blanket, sand,
or earth. For a large fire, foam is generally used. The foam is composed of gas-
filled bubbles formed from aqueous solutions and strengthened by a foam-
stabilizing ingredient. The foam is lower in density than the lightest flammable
liquid. It blankets the fire and cuts off its supply of air.
(e) Chain breaking: Chain breaking is a process in which a chemical agent
interferes with the oxygen and hydrogen atoms and the hydroxyl radicals. These
are the most active chemical components of fire in hydrocarbon combustion.
(f) Control of heat: Spraying water as a stream, fog, or mist usually controls heat.
The cooling effect of water is used to reduce the temperature of a fire to below
the ignition point and to keep nearby flammables cool so they will not ignite
spontaneously. (Remember that aviation fuels are lighter than water, so use of
large amounts of water can spread a petroleum fire.) Carbon dioxide also has a
cooling effect because part of it turns into dry ice when it is discharged from a
fire extinguisher.
(3) Types of fire extinguishers: Many types of fire extinguishers are available for use on
the different classes of fires. In aircraft refueling, the principal concern is with
Class B fires. The extinguishers described below are recommended for use in
aircraft refueling operations.
(a) Halon 1211: The preferred fire extinguisher for use at refueling nozzles and
pumps is the Halon 1211 extinguisher. It is preferred, especially for rapid
refueling operations, because the agent is discharged as a liquid and becomes a
gas only on contact with the fire. (The rotor wash in rapid refueling tends to
dissipate firefighting agents that are expelled in the gaseous state.) The
chemical agent in the Halon 1211 extinguisher is bromochlorodifluromethane
(CBrClF2). Halon 1211 is particularly effective against Class B fires, and is good
for Class A and C fires. It is safe for use on electrical (Class C) fires because it is
an excellent insulator (a nonconductor of electricity). Halon 1211 works on the
principle of chain breaking. The bromine atoms in the compound interfere with
the chemical chain reaction of fire. Undecomposed Halon 1211 is only slightly
toxic when used out of doors. However, the heat of fire decomposes the agent
and its decomposed products can be hazardous. Because Halon 1211 is heavier
than air, it or its decomposed products may concentrate in low-lying areas. The
Halon 1211 extinguisher is available in two models: 17 pounds (NSN 4210-01-
128-1674) and 20 pounds (NSN 421001-089-0875). It has a 14- to 16-foot range
and its stream is not affected by wind. When fighting a fire, direct the stream
toward the base of the flames and sweep the flame off the surface with a slow,
side-to-side motion. Continue discharging the extinguisher to prevent reflash.
Note: If the extinguisher has a high velocity nozzle and the fire is on a deep container of
petroleum, start the discharge from 8 to 10 feet away to prevent splashing.

Performance Steps
(b) Purple K: The other fire extinguisher recommended for use at refueling nozzles
and pumps are the hard-type, 20-pound-capacity, Purple K extinguisher (NSN
4210-00-257-5343). It is a dry chemical extinguisher that uses the extinguishing
agent potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3), commonly called Purple K. Carbon
dioxide gas discharges the Purple K in a wide stream from a low-velocity nozzle.
Aim the stream at the base of the flames starting at the rear edge of the fire.
Sweep the nozzle from side to side. This fire extinguisher works on the principle
of smothering and is designed for use on Class B and C fires. With a Class C
fire, continue the discharge to prevent reflash. Purple K is highly corrosive. A
Type II, Class II, size 20, Purple K extinguisher can be procured under Federal
Specification A-A-393. The operating temperature range of this Purple K
extinguisher is from -40 degrees to +120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Note: In subzero temperatures, do not open or close the discharge valve of a CO2
extinguisher.
(c) The other hand-type fire extinguisher acceptable for use at refueling nozzles and
pumps is the 15-pound-capacity, CO2 extinguisher (NSN 4210-00-202-7858).
The CO2 extinguisher has a limited range, so initial application must start
reasonably close to the fire. Its discharge is affected by drafts and wind; so it is
not the most desirable extinguisher to use in rapid refueling operations where
rotor or prop wash create strong air currents. Direct the discharge toward the
base of the fire and sweep the flame off the burning surface. Aim first at the
closest edge of the fire and progress gradually, moving the nozzle slowly side to
side. After the flames are out, continue discharging over the burned surface to
prevent reflash. Discharge continuously so that the nozzle does not freeze up
and become blocked with ice. As liquid CO2 is discharged under its own
pressure, a large part of the discharge vaporizes and the rest is converted into
fine particles of dry ice. This dry ice or snow gives the discharge a cloudy white
appearance. During discharge, some of the liquid remaining in the tank
vaporizes and the remaining liquid chills and begins to form dry ice. This fire
extinguisher works on the principle of diluting but also has a cooling effect. It is
suitable for Class B and C fires. CO2 is non-corrosive and non-damaging, and it
leaves no residue. Because it is a nonconductor, it is safe to use on live
electrical circuits. The only danger from CO2 is the possibility of losing
consciousness or being suffocated in an enclosed space or low-lying area. This
is a minimum risk in outdoor refueling operations. A Type I, size 115, CO2
extinguisher can be procured under Federal Specification A-A-1106B. Its
operating temperature range is from -40° to +120°F.

(d) Foam: Foam can be used on Class A and B fires. Foam capability is provided at
airfields with sufficient traffic by fire trucks and personnel equipped to generate
foam. The fire truck is procured under military specification MIL T-11407L. This
is a tactical, pumper-type vehicle with a 750-gpm pump. Its 400-gallon tank is
mounted on a standard 6- by 6-foot military chassis. It can discharge foam in any
direction from its turret nozzle or hand lines and can discharge while moving.
Foam works on the principle of smothering, but it also has a cooling and
insulating effect because of its water content and gas-bubble structure. Foam is
especially effective for Class B fires on flat or vertical surfaces where it is
possible to blanket the fire with foam. On a petroleum spill fire, bounce the foam
stream off the surface just in front of the fire. For a fire in a deep container of
petroleum, either bounce the stream off the back wall of the container just above
the burning surface so that the foam spreads back over the fire, or stand far
enough away or aim upward so that the foam will fall lightly over the surface. If
possible, walk around the fire, and discharge the foam around the whole fire as
you walk. For a Class A fire, aim the stream directly at the burning surfaces.
(e) Water: Water-type extinguishers include water, antifreeze, soda-acid, wetting
agent, and loaded stream types for use on Class A fires. Direct the stream at the
base of the flames, working from a position as close as possible to the fire. As
soon as the flames are out, direct the stream at glowing surfaces and smoldering
embers. Thoroughly soak the embers.

PLOT UNIVERSAL TRANSVERSE MERCATOR (UTM) COORDINATES ON A MAP, IMAGE
OR GEOSPATIAL DATA
Conditions: Given a requirement, a military map, engineer scale, GTA 5-2-12 (coordinate scale
and protractor), or digital geospatial data, with imagery workstation and appropriate software,
FM 3-25.26 and unit standing operating procedures (SOP).
Standards: Plot universal transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates on a map to within 10 meters
on a 1:50,000 scale map and 100 meters on a 1:250,000 scale map, or within .02 percent on
any other scale map in accordance with mission requirements, FM 3-25.26, and unit SOP.
Performance Steps
1. Determine what size map sheet you are using.
2. Verify a grid zone designator on the map.
3. Locate the correct 100,000-meter square identifier on the map.
4. Break the eight digits of the given coordinate into two parts. The first two numbers of the
first part refer to the grid line numbers along the bottom or top of the map. The first two
numbers of the second part refer to the grid line numbers along the left or right side of the
map.
EXAMPLE: Ft Huachuca Map Sheet, 1:50,000
UTM: 12R WL 62 85 10 80
12R = Grid Zone Designator
WL = 100,000 meter square identifier
62 = Grid Line
85 = Protractor value
10 = Grid Line
80 = Protractor value
5. Within the appropriate 100,000-meter square, find the two grid lines and follow them until
they intersect.
Note: The grid square in which the point will fall is to the right and up from the intersection
6. Read the last two numbers of the first part of the given coordinate. This is the value found
at the bottom of the protractor that you will plot.
7. Place the protractor ensuring that it matches the correct scale. Put the scale on the map
where the two grid lines intersect. Ensure that the horizontal scale of the protractor is
parallel to and on top of the bottom grid line in that grid square. Slide the protractor to the
left until the correct value intersects with the grid line.
Note: Do not move the protractor until you complete step 9.

Performance Steps
8. Read the last two numbers of the second part of the given coordinate. This is the value
found along the vertical scale that you will plot.
9. Look at the vertical scale on the protractor, follow the scale up until you find the correct
value. Place a pencil mark at this point.
Note: Remember plotting coordinates on a 1:250,000 scale are the same steps as a
1:50,000. The difference is you only have six digits with a 1:250,000.
Evaluation Preparation: Provide the soldier with the materials listed in the condition
statement. Tell the soldier to plot universal transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates on a map,
image or geospatial data.

PERFORM UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) FLIGHT PROCEDURES
Conditions: Given an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, a mission plan, and TM 9-5895-
681-CL (Shadow) or TM 9-5895-692-CL (Hunter).
Standards: Perform UAV flight procedures in accordance with TC 34-212, TC 1-201, unit
standing operating procedures (SOP), and TM 9-5895-681-10 (SHADOW) or TM 9-5895-692-
10-1 (Hunter)/TM 9-5895-692-10-2 (Hunter).
Performance Steps
1.
This step pertains to both Shadow and Hunter.
a.
Perform flight utilizing automatic flight modes.
(1) Prepare for crew actions.
(a) The air vehicle operator (AVO) will announce all flight mode changes. He will
verify the UAV enters the selected flight mode by monitoring the flight mode
command (CMD)/report (RPT) pushbutton on the flight control module, heading,
airspeed and altitude indicators.
(b) The mission payload operator (MPO) will verify the UAV payload enters the
AVO's selected flight mode by monitoring the program CMD/RPT pushbutton on
the camera steering module of the payload operator (PO) workstation.
(2) Set the following procedures.
(a) Destination. The AVO enters the destination coordinates into the system using
the AVLD or the mission control unit (MCU). Once entered into the system send
coordinates to the UAV.
(b) Send the UAV to the destination by pressing the destination button on the flight
control module of the AVO workstation. CMD/RPT lights on the destination
pushbutton are monitored to ensure the UAV performance is in accordance with
destination flight parameters.
(c) Monitor UAV heading to ensure correct UAV response. Set UAV airspeed and
altitude knob control setting in accordance with mission parameters.
(3) Set hold. Engage hold mode by depressing the destination pushbutton two (2) times.
(a) The destination pushbutton is monitored to ensure CMD/RPT lights on the button
perform in accordance with hold mode parameters.
(b) Monitor UAV heading to ensure UAV response is normal for hold mode. Set UAV
airspeed and altitude using knob control in accordance with mission parameters
and mission briefing.
(4) Send program. The AVO sends a validated program to the UAV using the AVLD or
computer console assembly (CCA).
(a) Verify the mission is loaded by confirming the "no mission plan loaded" warning
is extinguished and the scan enabled lighted pushbutton blinks "load ok"
message is displayed on the AVLD when mission is loaded from the AVLD.
(b) Select "continue after loss of link" and/or "continue after loss of global positioning
system (GPS)" as required by mission profile.

MOS/Skill Level Tasks-Skill Level 1
Performance Steps
(c) Engage program mode by depressing the PGRM lighted pushbutton on the flight
control module of the VO workstation.
(d) Verify UAV airspeed, heading and altitude correspond to program setting for
designated waypoint.
b.
Prepare to navigate by dead reckoning.
(1) Perform the following crew actions.
(a) The air vehicle operator's main focus will be on the heading of the aircraft and
azimuth of the ground data terminal. The air vehicle operator will monitor flight
and engine instruments.
(2) Perform the following procedures.
(a) After obtaining current weather forecasts, plan the flight by marking the route.
The other crewmembers should assist with all planning and computations, if
available. Compute the time, distance, and heading for each leg of the flight
route.
(b) During the flight, use ground data terminal azimuth and dead reckoning to
maintain UAV position. Adjust estimated times of arrival for subsequent legs of
the route using the latest in-flight computed data. The AVO or MPO should
provide the crewmember with heading corrections using the multimission
optronic stabilized platform (MOSP) as necessary to maintain the desired course
(ground track).
(c) NIGHT CONSIDERATIONS—Periods of darkness or reduced visibility require
more detailed flight planning.
c.
Perform air reconnaissance using an orbital flight pattern in knobs.
(1) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (such as
destination, program, and knobs).
(2) Manipulate the camera so that a point of reference for the maneuver is easily
recognized since the whole effort of the pattern is dependent on where the camera is
pointing.
(3) Coordinate a left or right bank to initiate the orbit around the target when the camera
depression angle reaches approximately 40 degrees.
(4) Navigate the AV to maintain good depression (between 40 and 60 degrees) as you
circle the target or reconnaissance area.
(5) Maintain an angle between the nose of the AV and the camera bearing of
90 degrees. The camera bearing should be maintained off either the left or right
wing throughout the entire orbit. If performed correctly, good depression will be
maintained for as many orbits as necessary.
d.
Perform air reconnaissance using a figure eight flight pattern in knobs.
(1) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (such as
destination, program, and knobs). Since this is a good technique when restrictions
are present (have to maintain a hold pattern to one side of the target), navigate the
AV to the location without violating restrictions.
(2) Manipulate the camera so that a point of reference for the maneuver is easily
recognized since the whole effort of the pattern is dependent on where the camera is
pointing.
3-39
STP 34-96U14-SM-TG
Performance Steps
(3) Fly to one side of the target with good depression on the camera. Once the AV
passes the target, depression will decrease (you will be flying away from the target).
(4) Coordinate either a left or right bank (dependent on winds) and start heading
towards the target again while maintaining the restriction to hold to one side and
depression. Depression will start to increase after the bank is completed. Since the
next bank will have to be in the opposite direction in order to form the figure eight,
head the AV slightly left or right of the target depending on the turn just completed (if
the heading was 200 degrees, fly at 340 degrees after the turn). Once the AV has
flown by the target again, depression will start to decrease.
(5) Coordinate the second bank and start heading towards the target again and
complete the figure eight pattern. As you experience this technique adjust for winds
so that good depression can be obtained throughout the entire pattern.
e.
Perform air reconnaissance using a racetrack flight pattern in knobs.
(1) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (such as
destination, program, and knobs). Since this is a good technique when restrictions
are present (have to maintain a hold pattern to one side of the target), navigate the
AV to the location without violating restrictions.
(2) Manipulate the camera so that a point of reference for the maneuver is easily
recognized since the whole effort of the pattern is dependent on where the camera is
pointing.
(3) Fly to one side of the target with good depression on the camera. Once the AV
passes the target, depression will decrease (you will be flying away from the target).
(4) Coordinate either a left or right bank (dependent on winds) and start heading
towards the target again while maintaining the restriction to hold to one side and
depression. Depression will start to increase after the bank is completed. Since the
next bank will have to be in the same direction in order to form the racetrack, head
the AV in the opposite direction just flown (if the heading was 90 degrees, fly
270 degrees on this leg). Once the AV has flown by the target again, depression will
start to decrease.
(5) Coordinate the second bank and start heading towards the target again and
complete the racetrack pattern. As you experience this technique adjust for winds
so that good depression can be obtained throughout the entire pattern, although
depression will inherently be weaker on the leg furthest away form the target.

PERFORM UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) PAYLOAD OPERATIONS
Conditions: Given an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, a mission, and TM 9-5895-681-
CL (Shadow) or TM 9-5895-692-CL (Hunter).
Standards: Perform UAV payload operations in accordance with unit standing operating
procedures (SOPs), TC 34-212, and TM 9-5895-681-10 (Shadow) or TM 9-5895-692-10-1
(Hunter)/TM 9-5895-692-10-2 (Hunter).
Performance Steps
1.
Perform payload procedures for UAV.
a.
Track a static target.
(1) Navigate the air vehicle (AV) to the desired location using any mode of flight
(destination, program, and knobs).
(2) Identify the objective target with the camera; zoom as required to keep the target in
view and maintain that point of reference until the air vehicle operator (AVO)
navigates the AV into a position that allows for better than 40 degrees depression.
(3) AVO will loiter over, or close to, the static target in such a way that the mission
payload operator (MPO) can maintain the depression angle of 40 degrees or better
while keeping the target in view. Depending on how fast the MPO manipulates the
camera will determine how the AVO will navigate the AV. If the AV is getting ahead
of the camera, implement a 30-degree bank to allow the camera to get back ahead
of the AV. If the camera is getting too far ahead of the AV, increase airspeed.
(4) With the camera zoomed in as far as possible while still keeping good picture
resolution, keep the payload crosshairs on the target until positive identification can
me made, accurate grid coordinates can be collected on the target, or as long as the
mission dictates.
b.
Track a moving target.
(1) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (destination,
program, and knobs).
(2) Identify the objective target with the camera; zoom as required to keep the target in
view and maintain that point of reference until the AVO navigates the AV into a
position that allows for better than 40 degrees depression.
(3) AVO will navigate AV over, or close to, the moving target in such a way that the
MPO can maintain the depression angle of 40 degrees or better while keeping the
target in view. Depending on how fast the MPO manipulates the camera will
determine how the AVO will navigate the AV. If the AV is getting ahead of the
camera, implement a 30-degree bank to allow the camera to get back ahead of the
AV. If the camera is getting too far ahead of the AV, increase airspeed.
(4) With the camera zoomed in as far as possible while still keeping good picture
resolution, keep the payload crosshairs on the target until positive identification can

Performance Steps
c.
Conduct a road search.
(1) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (destination,
program, knobs).
(2) Identify the beginning of the road search with the camera; zoom in all the way and
maintain that point of reference until the AVO navigates the AV into a position that
allows for better than 40 degrees depression.
(3) Head the AV into the direction of the road being search and maintain the depression
angle of 40 degrees or better. Depending on how fast the MPO manipulates the
camera will determine how the AVO will navigate the AV. If the AV is getting ahead
of the camera implement a 30-degree bank to allow the camera to get back ahead of
the AV. If the camera is getting too far ahead of the AV, increase airspeed.
d.
Perform an area search.
(1) Utilize the AVLD to map out the search area by using mission plans, targets, or
threats. This will help both the AVO and MPO to visualize the search area when
actually performing the mission.
(2) Select camera footprint on the AVLD so that the MPO will easily recognize how
much of the area has actually been searched.
(3) Navigate the AV to the desired location using any mode of flight (destination,
program, and knobs).
(4) Coordinate with the MPO on how to navigate the AV throughout the entire search.
There are several techniques to use:
(a) Select destination hold to set up a 1.8-km circle around the area to be searched.
This technique is conditional on the size of the area and whether good camera
depression can be obtained.
(b) Utilize knobs to start at one end of the area search and perform a serious of "S"
turns and allow the AV to flow from one side of the area search to the other while
the camera stays out in front of the AV the entire time.
(c) Utilize either the racetrack or figure eight in the same type of theory as above,
moving from one side to the other while the camera stays out in front of the AV
throughout the entire procedure. Stipulations will have to be made if the MPO
desires to stay in any one point for a long time.
e.
Perform an indirect fire adjustment mission.
Note: For Hunter: Perform the following steps as indicated in TM 9-5895-692-10-2,
chapter 8, section II, paragraphs: 8-22 E, or TM 9-5895-692-CL, section 11.0, paragraph
11.2.
For Shadow: Perform the following steps as indicated in TM 9-5895-681-10 and work
package (WP) 0096 00.

3. AVO will loiter over, or close to, the target in such a way that the mission payload operator
(MPO) can maintain the depression angle of 40 degrees or better while keeping the target in
view. Depending on how fast the MPO manipulates the camera will determine how the AVO
will navigate the AV. If the AV is getting ahead of the camera, bank as necessary to allow
the camera to get back ahead of the AV. If the camera is getting too far ahead of the AV,
increase airspeed.
4. With the camera zoomed in as far as possible, and still keeping good picture resolution,
keep the payload crosshairs on the target until—
a. Positive target identification can be made.
b. Accurate grid coordinates can be collected on the target.
c. As long as the mission dictates.
5. Report target acquisition to higher command.
Evaluation Preparation: Provide the soldier with the materials listed in the condition
statement.
