(hereinafter referred to as the Specialist competition) The stage includes: 1. Driving exercises on BMP-2 IFVs (hereinafter

referred to as BMP) in difficult terrain. Crossing of obstacles

and movement through restricted passages at inclines, declines

and hillsides. Loading and unloading of a BMP to a rail

transporter with the use of an edge ramp and a side platform.

Loading of a BMP is performed at a separate exercise area.

Participating teams get familiarized with a driving

exercise route on foot. Practical trainings with the use of vehicles on routes and

areas defined for exercises are not allowed. 2. Performing of tactical, medical, as well as chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear

(hereinafter referred to as CBRN) exercises.

Content of the stage: Within an hour prior to the beginning of the stage, unit

commander and drivers (primary and reserve), in defined

battle suits with gas masks, sets of signal flags, are instructed

by an arbitrator on the driving exercise and task procedures,

actions in case of an emergency, driving signals and inspect

their BMPs.

After the instruction and inspection of BMPs, primary

drivers perform a driving exercise 'Driving in difficult terrain.

After completion of the BMP driving exercise, drivers,

under control of unit commanders, one after another, in

accordance with a drawing procedure, perform a task

'Loading and unloading a BMP to a rail transporter with

the use of an edge ramp and a side platform'

Unit personnel perform following task:

1. Individually (without a unit commander and a driver), according to the judge's drawing procedure:

- 'Application of a tourniquet and pulling aside of a

wounded

person'.

2. In a unit (without a driver):

- 'Covert movement to an enemy's facility by rushing and crawling';

- 'Transportation of ammunition under enemy fire by

side crawling';

- 'Putting on a gas mask'.

Tasks (exercises) and their estimation:

1. 'Driving in difficult terrain'. 'Crossing of obstacles

and movement through restricted passages at inclines,

declines and hillsides'.

During the exercise, participants cross 13 obstacles:

Nr. 1 - anti-tank trench with a passage;

Nr. 4 - highwall at incline;

Nr. 5 - track bridge model;

Nr. 6 - escarpment with a track bridge;;

Nr. 8 - passage between pillars at an incline and decline; Nr. 9 - track passage in a minefield;

Driver, unit

commander

29


Number of points

List of obstacles and their dimensions are stated in the

Annex 5.

BMPs are positioned at the starting line in an order

defined by the drawing procedure.

After an inspection, upon an arbitrator's command, unit

commanders and drivers move to the start line and line up in

two steps in front of their vehicles, facing the movement

direction.

Upon the arbitrator's command: 'Crews - MOUNT', unit

commanders and drivers take their places in vehicles. Unit

commander establish communication with drivers, and

drivers establish a radio connection with an arbitrator and

report (in turn, in accordance with their position at the start

line): 'Tower, I AM FIRST (number), READY TO START

THE ENGINE'.

After report of all participants on their readiness to start

engines, an arbitrator orders drivers to start engines in turn:

'First! (second, etc.) I am the Tower. START THE

ENGINE'. At the command of an arbitrator, crews start

engines of their vehicles, take battle positions inside vehicles

and report that they are ready to move: 'Tower, I AM FIRST

(second, etc), READY TO MOVE'. The arbitrator orders a

next crew to start an engine after a readiness report of a next

participant.

Upon the arbitrator's command: 'First, move along the

left (right) route, I am Tower, stop at inclines and declines - START' A first crew starts moving along the route

crossing the obstacles stated in the program.

Subsequently, other drivers perform the exercise along

the route defined by the arbitrator with 3-4 minutes time gap

between vehicles.

While a driver is performing a driving exercise, a

unit commander has to observe situation on the route,

control driver in order to prevent collision of vehicles.

Overtaking of a BMP ahead is allowed only:

after making sure that this action is safe, observing

common rules of BMP driving;

at flat areas of the route.

A crew which is guilty of collision of vehicles on the

30


Number of points

route, is disqualified and takes the last place in the

competition stage rankings.

Upon arrival to the line with the 'STOP' sign, a driver

stops a vehicle and takes a traveling position by himself, with

a unit commander. A driver reports to an arbitrator: 'Tower,

I AM FIRST, MOVEMENT IS FINISHED'. An arbitrator

commands: 'First! I am Tower. To the starting line -

MOVE'. Upon this command, driver starts moving on the first

gear and stops his vehicle at his position (according to a

number) on the starting line. Upon the arbitrator's command:

'First! I am Tower, STOP THE ENGINE', a driver stops

engine and waits for further instructions of an arbitrator.

In case of a technical malfunction or emergency situation

that require stopping of a vehicle, a driver stops a vehicle

(stops an engine, if necessary), reports to an arbitrator via

radio: 'Tower, I AM FIRST, STOPPED.

TECHNICAL FAULT OF THE VEHICLE' and fastens

a red flag on a vehicle.

If a crew is unable to fix malfunction by themselves, they

report to an arbitrator: 'Tower, I AM FIRST, REQUIRE

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE'.

In case of failure of a primary vehicle, it is allowed to

substitute it with a reserve vehicle.

In this case, an arbitrator takes a decision to send a

reserve vehicle and a technical commission to a place where

a failed vehicle is situated.

A reserve driver drives a reserve car to a position of a

failed vehicle. Upon arrival to this position, a primary crew

mount a reserve vehicle, report when ready to move and

proceed to perform the exercise.

If a failure of a vehicle took place not due to a crew's

fault, time spent for stop is not taken into account in a total

time for the route. Statement on cause of a vehicle failure is

taken by a technical commission according to a technical

condition document and approved by the Main Judge of the

Competition.

In case of a vehicle failure due to a crew's fault (Annex

6), a crew is disqualified and

31


Number of points

takes the last place at the Competition stage. In case of inability to overtake a vehicle with a red flag

on the route (obstacle), a following crew report to an arbitrator:

'Tower, I AM FIRST, STOPPED. MOVEMENT IS

IMPOSSIBLE', act and proceed movement according to his

instructions.

Overtaking of a vehicle (if it is possible) with a red flag

on a route is performed by a driver without any command of

an arbitrator with observance of safety requirements.

Time if movement along the route is taken from the

command of an arbitrator: 'MOVE' up to the moment when a

vehicle arrives to a line with the 'STOP' sign. Time spent for

stops on the route due to a crew's fault is not taken into

account.

During the exercise, an arbitrator estimates driving

technique of drivers with the help of judges. A driving task is

considered to be completed if a driver accomplishes all its

requirements.

For violation of safety requirements, creation of a

dangerous situation that leads to collision (failure) of vehicles,

a vehicle crew is disqualified and takes the last place of the

stage.

Driving technique estimation: a) Movement to the track bridge model and the

escarpment with a track bridge without backward motion,

and estimation:

An entire unit in a battle formation is at the start area.

At the command of the judge: 'Unit - START', a unit cross obstacles of the line in a following order:

1. During helicopter model mounting and dismounting,

a unit acts under conditions of a possible contact with the

'enemy', observing fighting formation and security. Movement

and mounting the helicopter model is performed in battle sub-

units (forward security, nucleus, rear security). Each next sub-

unit start movement after mounting the helicopter by a

previous sub-unit. A forward security sub-unit cover the rest

of a unit while mounting. A unit commander checks readiness

of his unit to dismounting. Weapon barrels should be directed

down, each serviceman sits on a defined place.

At the command of the unit commander: 'Ready - GO', a

unit dismount (leave a helicopter model) in battle sub-units

(forward security, nucleus, rear security), take a marked

position for prone shooting in accordance with battle

formation, ready to repel a sudden attack of the 'enemy'.

Each next sub-unit dismount the helicopter after arrival

of a previous sub-unit to a shooting position. A forward

security sub-unit cover the rest of a unit while dismounting. A

unit starts moving to the next obstacle at the command (signal)

of a unit commander when the last unit serviceman of a rear

security takes a prone shooting position.

of showing of targets or spending of all rounds), a shooter

locks a weapon and reports to the judge: "SHOOTING IS

ACCOMPLISHED". Upon the command of an area judge:

"Unload - Show the weapon FOR INSPECTION", a shooter

unloads a weapon and reports: "WEAPON IS UNLOADED".

A judge makes sure that a weapon is unloaded and after

inspection commands:

"Inspected. MOVE to the firing range". Upon a command of a judge, a shooter moves to a

starting range. If some rounds were left after accomplishment

of an exercise, a shooter presents them to the judge for

counting and, upon his command, returns them to the ammo

supply point.

Saved rounds are taken into account only in case of

killing of all targets.

The time is taken from the command of the judge: 'Start

into an RPG barrel, unlocks it, arms a trigger, locks an RPG

and reports to the judge: "READY TO FIGHT".

After that, an area judge commands: 'FIRE'. Upon the command: 'FIRE', an AT grenadier unlocks

an RPG, finds a tank (Target Nr. 1) and shoots upon it by

himself.

In case of target missing with a first grenade, an AT

grenadier locks an RPG, and changes a firing position by

himself with an assistant (move 2-3 meters to the left (right)

from a first firing position). An assistant prepares one more

grenade according to an above-mentioned procedure and

hands it over to an AT grenadier. An AT grenadier puts a

grenade into an RPG barrel, performs a second shot upon a

target by himself, and locks an RPG.

In case if target hit with a first shot or missing of a target

with a second shot, an AT grenadier locks an RPG and upon

a command of a range judge: 'MOVE', moves with his

assistant by short 5-10 m runs to the second position for 50-

60 meters.

Upon arrival to the second position, an AT grenadier and

his assistant get ready for shooting in a prone position. An

assistant prepares a grenade in accordance with the above-

mentioned procedure and hands it over to an AT grenadier.

An AT grenadier puts a grenade into an RPG barrel, unlocks

it, arms a trigger, locks an RPG and reports to the judge:

pouches, RPG anti-tank grenades with an inert filler are put

into grenade pouches (two for an anti-tank grenadier and his

assistant) or into backpacks. Communication means are

stowed in a backpack.

At the departure area, the exercise judge performs a

drawing procedure and defines a minefield area to be crossed

(one of five prepared beforehand), checks availability of

weapons, ammunition, tactical gear, assigns a task for a unit

commander to perform a fire ambush in order to destroy an

enemy's facility.

At the command of the judge: 'START preparation', a

unit commander assigns a task (order) for a unit to perform a

fire ambush and organizes preparation of a unit for the task.

When ready, a unit commander reports to the judge: 'READY

for the task!'

A unit has up to 10 minutes for preparation for the task.

At the command of the judge: 'START the task', a full

unit in battle formation (support team, fire team and observers)

move to an ambush area (firing range) with the use of terrain

folds, covertly, observing camouflage requirements.

A support team cross open areas, artificial and natural

obstacles first, with a cover of a fire team. After that, a support

team cover movement of a fire team.

A support team proceed movement after a full fire team

have crossed an open area or an obstacle, got ready for

covering and a team commander has given a defined signal.

or withdrawing. During movement, a unit in a battle

formation cross a minefield area (width 1 m, distance up to

50 m) and natural (artificial) obstacles via a marked passage.

While crossing obstacles, a unit perform visual

reconnaissance in order to find mines, as well as use rods

from a de-mining kit and improvised means in order to mark

them.

Detected mines are not defused, just marked.

A minefield consists of 9 anti-infantry pressure-actuated

mines installed in ground and 3 trip-wired hand grenades.

'Blasted' servicemen do not take part in shooting,

obligatorily pass their weapons and ammunition to

colleagues and remain in a place of blasting. Later, upon a

command of a judge, they move to a waiting area. In case of

'blast' of a trip-wired grenade, a 'blasted' person and

servicemen in a danger radius of a hand grenade (25 m) are

considered to be hit. After accomplishment of the task, a unit

evacuated injured persons to the rally point.

A unit with up to five 'blasted' servicemen is allowed to

perform a fire exercise. In case of 'blasting' of more than five

servicemen, a unit is not allowed to perform a fire exercise

and receives 0 points for it.

After crossing of a minefield, a unit takes positions for

an ambush (firing range), upon the judge's command

'LOAD WEAPONS' servicemen load their weapons,

lock them and report to a unit commander about their

readiness for shooting with a defined signal (lifted left hand).

After receiving of reports from every scout, a unit

After crossing of the water obstacle and arrival of an

entire unit to the rally point, a driver reports about readiness

to start the engine, at the judge's command starts the engine

and reports about readiness for movement: 'Tower. I AM

FIRST (SECOND, etc.). READY FOR MOVEMENT'.

At the command of the judge: 'First (second, etc.), move

along the route! I am Tower - MOVE', a driver starts

movement.

A driver moves along the 1200 m route (600 m across

the water), which includes two entries into water and ways

out at different banks and restricted passes. Water entries and

ways out are marked with 1,5 m posts with 5 m distance

between them, restricted passes - with buoys at places for

vehicle maneuvering. Buoys are installed in a way not

allowing vehicles to leave defined borders.

A driver moves a BMP to a ford on a maximal speed,

performs preparations for movement on water on the move,

enters water without stopping, performs maneuvering in a

restricted pass, moves to an opposite bank, performs

preparations for movement on the bank.

Then, after passing of a route area by land, a driver

crosses a water obstacle in an opposite direction, including

the restricted pass. After crossing of the water obstacle, a

driver moves to an opposite bank and moves to an initial point

with the maximal possible speed.

In case of ignoring of any obstacles, a driver has to

return to the beginning and cross them one more time.
