SITUATION
1.
GpOSC 14 will be held at Bisley Camp and Pirbright and Ash ranges over the period 31 Mar
– 6 Apr 14. Flt Lt Ady Waters is the appointed Planning Officer and all personnel will come under
his control, through their respective team captains, for the duration of GpOSC 14.
2.
The competition will involve Service Rifle competition Matches 43, 47, 49, 50 and Service
Pistol Match 52, conducted IAW References A and B. There will also be a number of training
development shoots during the programme.
3.
The Operational Shooting Training Team (OSTT) at Bisley maintain the relevance between
competition shooting and operational requirements. The RAF focus for competitive shooting is the
RAF Small Arms Association (RAFSAA) who administer and run a full programme of events. The
aim of the RAFSAA is ‘to promote military efficiency by fostering interest in small arms shooting by
means of individual and collective competitions thereby raising the standard and efficiency is the
use of small arms’. Competition shooting is detailed in Reference A and should be encouraged as
it directly contributes to operational effectiveness.
4.
The basis of RAF Gp OSC is from ref C and relates to the following definitions:
a.
BCC-AGE. Personnel employed in the Base Close Combat – Air Ground Environment
(BCC-AGE) role must be able to fire accurately to kill/incapacitate or suppress an enemy as
an individual and as a member of a four-man Fire Team out to 300m, whilst applying
judgemental skills to ensure the integrity of Air Assets. BCC Role personnel are those who
undertake their primary specialisation within a high-threat environment, but whose primary
role is not to engage with enemy forces.
1
b.
DCC-AGE. Personnel in the Dismounted Close Combat – AGE (DCC-AGE) role must
be able to react quickly and fire accurately to kill/incapacitate or suppress an enemy, at the
extremes of range encountered in the AGE, including close quarters, from different static
positions, on the move or from cover, whilst applying judgemental skills to ensure the
integrity of Air Assets. DCC refers to those whose primary tasks are to close with and
engage the enemy to accomplish their mission – in the RAF, exclusively the RAF Regt.
AIM
5.
The aims of GpOSC 14 are:
a.
To train up individuals to meet and ideally exceed the requirements of the BCC AGE
policy.
b.

format.
c.
