• Overview
• The Instructor Utilization Handbook (IUH) was designed to provide training for Squad through Platoon size units preparing for Counterinsurgency (COIN) operations using the Deployable Force on Force Instrumented Range System (DFIRST) as a training multiplier.
•
This IUH provides training scenarios for a variety of missions and tasks associated with COIN operations. The training scenarios contained within use the craw-walk-run approach to training allowing Soldiers to learn and grow from their successes as well as mistakes. This training program requires Soldiers to employ a mix of familiar combat skills to achieve success during often complex and challenging tasks based on existing doctrine and lessons learned from recent combat operations.
•

The objective of this training program is to improve the performance of squad through platoon size units during Counterinsurgency operations. This training program provides scenario based training missions for virtually all military occupational skills (MOS) conducting dismounted and mounted operations including convoy operations, traffic control points and quick reaction force training. 

 
• Training Material: Each chapter provides the reference material necessary to train a specific operation, to include:
 
• Course layout for each exercise in the scenario.
• Ammunition requirements.
• COB and OPFOR requirements, purpose and scripts.
• List of additional required equipment.
• Cautions and warnings.
• Training Evaluation Outlines (TEO).
• Take Home Package Material.
• Acquisition: You may contact your supporting on site DFIRST Mission Support Manager (MSM) for the COIN IUH compact disk.  Your MSM is available to meet with your unit trainers to assist in planning.
