INTRODUCTION
Method of Instruction: Conference / Discussion
Instructor to Student Ratio is: 1:12
Time of Instruction: 25 mins
Media: Television
Motivator
As a Abrams tank system maintainer, you must be able to power up all crew
positions in the M1A1 tank, operate the ballistic computer and test the fire control
system. These tasks are prerequisites to successful troubleshooting and
maintenance of any system within the M1A1 tank.
Terminal
Learning
Objective
NOTE: Inform the students of the following Terminal Learning Objective requirements.
At the completion of this lesson, you [the student] will:
Action:
Conditions:
Standards:
Familiarization of M1A1 Combat Tank or M1A1 Turret Trainer
controls.
In a classroom or maintenance bay, given an M1A1 Combat Tank
or M1A1 Turret Trainer with technical manuals and and TMs 92350-264-10-1/2.
Operate the M1A1 tank controls in accordance with TMs 9-2350264-10-1/2.
Safety
Requirements
The equipment you will be working with is very dangerous, thus you must be
safety conscious at all times. Running around equipment and training area is
prohibited. Do not lean back on two chair legs. Smoking, eating or drinking is not
allowed on or around equipment. Always enter the turret or trainer from the
loader's hatch. Always maintain a three point contact when you are on the top of
the turret or trainer. Remove all your jewelry prior to troubleshooting or entering
the tank or trainer. When you are working around the outside of the vehicle, make
sure that you are clear of the turret traversing and elevation path. Stay clear of
elevation and depression of the main gun, you will have no time to react if weapon
is elevated or depressed suddenly. Announce "POWER" loudly and wait for the all
clear before you traverse or elevate in any mode, and prior to pressing a palm
switch in power mode. The word "POWER" alerts everyone in and outside of the
vehicle that the power station is being activated. While performing a task on the
vehicles, inform your instructor immediately if damaged equipment or components
are detected. For proper security of government equipment, the tool box must be
locked during breaks and never left unattended. Wear hearing protection when
around loud noises or when tank engine is running. When engine is running, stay
clear of the exhaust because of its high temperature. Under no circumstances will
the LRF be fired during your training. Protective clothing will be worn when
working with hydraulic fluid (FRH). If you get lubricants, hydraulic oil or other
chemicals on your hands, don't touch your face, eyes, clothes, or food before you
wash it off.
Risk
Assessment
Level
Low - This class is assigned a risk assessment level of low. Properly clean up oil
and grease spills and dispose of oily rags IAW applicable TM's and AR's.
5
Environmental
Considerations
NOTE: It is the responsibility of all soldiers and DA civilians to protect the environment from
damage.
In the event of an accidental spill of hydraulic fluid, fuels, oils, solvents, acids, and
coolants, it must be contained and cleaned up immediately. Floor dry sweep
material is the most effective material to contain and clean up environmental spills.
The student will report the incident to the instructor immediately; the instructor will
direct appropriate clean up action using spill kit and materials from the
environmental safety area. All floor dry contaminated with POL product will be
stored in a separate container. The container must be taken and inspected by
Environmental before taking to the landfill. The instructor will then report the
incident to the Branch/NCOIC who will notify the Division Chief and DEH
Environmental Management Division. Additional warnings and cautions will be
explained to you at the applicable point in the lesson."
Evaluation
NOTE: Before presenting this lesson, instructors must thoroughly prepare by studying this
lesson and identified reference material.
Information discussed during this block of instruction will be tested during the End
of Module Test.
Instructional
Lead-In
During the next eight hours of instruction you as an M1A1 Tank Turret Mechanic
will become familiar with all the aspects of the M1A1 Tank. As a turret mechanic,
you must be able to power up all crew positions in the M1A1 tank, operate the
ballistic computer and test the fire control system. These tasks are prerequisites to
successful troubleshooting and maintenance of any system within the M1A1 tank.

are detected. For proper security of government equipment, the tool box must be
locked during breaks and never left unattended. Wear hearing protection when
around loud noises or when tank engine is running. When engine is running, stay
clear of the exhaust because of its high temperature. Under no circumstances will
the LRF be fired during your training. Protective clothing will be worn when
working with hydraulic fluid (FRH). If you get lubricants, hydraulic oil or other
chemicals on your hands, don't touch your face, eyes, clothes, or food before you
wash it off.

Risk
Assessment
Level
Low This class is assigned a risk assessment level of low. Properly clean up oil
and grease spills and dispose of oily rags IAW applicable TM's and AR's.
Environmental
Considerations
In the event of an accidental spill of hydraulic fluid, fuels, oils, solvents, acids, and
coolants, it must be contained and cleaned up immediately. Floor dry sweep
material is the most effective material to contain and clean up environmental spills.
The student will report the incident to the instructor immediately; the instructor will
direct appropriate clean up action using spill kit and materials from the
environmental safety area. All floor dry contaminated with POL product will be
stored in a separate container. The container must be taken and inspected by
Environmental before taking to the landfill. The instructor will then report the
incident to the Branch/NCOIC who will notify the Division Chief and DEH
Environmental Management Division at 624-3629. Additional warnings and
cautions will be explained to you at the applicable point in the lesson."
Evaluation
Information discussed during this block of instruction will be tested during the End
of Module Test.
Instructional
Lead-In
During the next fifteen hours of instruction you as an M1A1 Tank Turret Mechanic
will become familiar with all the aspects of the M1A1 Tank. As a turret mechanic,
you must be able to power up all crew positions in the M1A1 tank, operate the
ballistic computer and test the fire control system. These tasks are prerequisites to
successful troubleshooting and maintenance of any system within the M1A1 tank.

Number/Title
63A12G05 version TATS / M1A1 Turret Familiarization and Operation
Introduction
During the next eight hours you will become familiar with the turret controls by
reading the technical manuals (TM 9-2350-264-10-1/2) and operating the turret
controls on a M1A1, Combat tank or turret trainer in a maintenance bay. As a

controls.
In a classroom or maintenance bay, given an M1A1 Combat Tank
or M1A1 Turret Trainer with technical manuals and TMs 9-2350264-10-1/2.
Operate the M1A1 tank controls in accordance with TMs 9-2350264-10-1/2.
The equipment you will be working with is very dangerous, thus you must be safety
