Nothing can accurately portray the stress and hazards of actual battle.

Map graphics give platoons and section a battlefield reference to practice and develop tactical procedures. In addition to gunnery skills, combat teams also employ tactical movement, indirect fire support, and reporting on 301. They rise and fall under the computer’s control, and drop automatically in one of two situations: when the firing vehicle scores a hit, or if time elapses with no hits. The standardized plywood targets are heated to show up on thermal night viewers. Almost any combat situation can be simulated on 301, closely replicating actual battle conditions. An extensive array of computerized targets – both vehicle and infantry – portrays many sorts of enemy threats to train and sharpen tank and Bradley crew skills.

Range 301 is a giant complex where company teams and cavalry troops can shoot and maneuver in a very realistic environment. This is the story of what happened that night. Shortly before midnight, an M1 tank crew mistaken engaged and destroyed two M3 Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicles, killing one Soldier and wounded four more. Sometimes this range can be too realistic, as it was the rainy summer night of August 29th-30th 1988. In the above art piece, an M1 tank unit and a fire support team are shooting at Range 301 on the northwestern side of Grafenwoehr Training Area in southern Germany.
