Lethality: The C92 Series and Platform - Specific TCs
Coming out of the III Corps lethality stud- ies, the Weapons and Gunnery Branch overhauled platform gunnery manuals. The C92 series of articles published in 2025 highlighted this transition toward platform-specific manuals like Training Circular (TC) 3-20.31-120, Gunnery: Heavy Tank. This shift prioritizes:
Tactical Relevance: Ensuring the way we plan, prepare, execute, and assess gun- nery is rooted in the modern battlefield.
The Kill Chain: Standardized tower prompts are now synchronized with the Direct Fire Kill Chain.
Outcome-Based Scoring: The new model prioritizes target destruction and “speed and violence of action” over minor admin- istrative errors.
Developing Mastery: Three new TCs were published in 2025 with an additional six currently under development covering
advanced topics such as platform fire control systems, range determination, gun tube technology, and ballistics. The goal is to provide every crew member with the information typically held at the Master
Gunner level and sharpen atrophied skills across the formation.
A Call for Feedback: Fighting with the Tools at Hand
Doctrine is a living conversation between the schoolhouse and the motor pool. It is not intended to be a static wish list for future technology, but a manual for how the “Combat Arm of Decision” survives, fights, and wins with the tools currently available.
While formal input is gathered via the Army Doctrine Development Tool (ADDT), we invite the operational force to review published and draft products and provide candid feedback based on your experi- ences in the dirt. Your input ensures our doctrine remains relevant to the Soldier in the turret today. Through MCOE and Armor School leadership, units should expect to receive draft doctrine and hand- books to take into the field and provide feedback on to ensure doctrine is moving at the speed of change.
