Prioritize targets for man-portable weapon system
This can be boiled down to: “Does it make sense to enage that vehicle at this time?”. Targets should be prioritized based on the following factors:
Urgency of the threat
Immediate threats should be engaged first, with vehicles posing no threat either engaged last or not engaged at all.
Success chance
Refrain from shooting when:
- the target is out of range
- the target is moving too fast
- the target cannot be effectively damaged
Future considerations
Do not engage vehicles when doing so might have negative effect later on in the mission. E.g. shooting an AT-4 at technical, when expecting BMPs before the next logpack. In other words, is the limited anti-vehicle ammunition being put to good use or is it going to waste engaging that vehicle?
