…Tanks move down streets after the infantry has cleared them of any suspected ATGM positions and, in turn, support the infantry with fire. The tank is one of the most effective weapons for heavy fire against…

…The use of attack helicopters to deliver ATGMs against targets in the upper stories of high buildings is sometimes desirable. (2) The 2.75-inch folding-fin aerial rocket and the 20-mm cannon on Marine…

…Walls and buildings can provide cover, concealment, and protection from enemy ATGM or heavy machine gun fire. Before armor enters a building, infantry should clear the building and check the ground floors to ensure that there…

…Machine guns fire along streets and into windows, doors, alleys, etc.; however, innovative use of direct fire weapons can be key in MOUT Tanks, ATGMs, and AT4s fire at enemy tanks and other armored vehicles. SMAWs…

…Direct-fire systems, mainly machine guns, antitank guided missiles (ATGMs), shoulder- launched multipurpose assault weapons (SMAWs), and AT4s—are initially employed to support the seizure of a foothold. The positioning of antitank weapons in buildings must…

…These rooms are too small to permit firing of ATGMs but do provide some cover for snipers or machine gunners (Figures I-9 and I-10). Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain I - 5

…Obstacles to ATGMs, such as telephone or electrical wires, should be cleared. Dead space should be covered with mines and obstacles. Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain D - 9

…In attacking a built-up area, recoilless weapon and ATGM crews may be hampered in choosing firing positions by the backblast of their weapons. They may not have enough time to knock out walls in buildings…

…Buildings that permit him/her to employ AT4s, ATGMs, machine guns, and riflemen are cleared. Supporting fire prevents the enemy from reinforcing units on the far bank. Enemy positions that can fire directly onto the bridge…

Figure B-9. ATGM Backblast in an Open Street (a) To fire a TOW from inside a room, the following safety precautions must be taken (Figure B-10): The building must be of sturdy construction. The…

…This feature, along with the fact that the buildings usually stand detached from other buildings, favors the employment of ATGMs. The interior partitions are thin, light, and easy to breach (Figure I-15). Figure I-14…

…These buildings have adequate interior space for firing ATGMs or surface-to-air missiles. They are often located next to parks or other open areas and, therefore, have long fields of fire. Public gathering places are…

…Such areas permit firing of ATGMs or personally-carried surface-to-air missiles (if there are adequate fields of fire). Often a mezzanine level with a large backblast area permits firing down onto tanks. Steel fire…

…It provides a means to elevate vehicle-mounted TOWs, and the open interiors permit firing of ATGMs. Garages are normally high enough to provide a 360-degree field of fire for antiaircraft weapons. For example, a…

…The large windows and open interior favor the use of ATGMs. Because the floors are often made to support heavy machinery, these buildings provide good overhead cover. I - 8 MCWP 3-35.3

…Indirect fires should suppress and destroy enemy ATGMs and overwatch positions and/or elements. If enemy formations secure a foothold, priority is shifted to the destruction of enemy forces within the penetration. (5) As the enemy…

…Firing ATGMs is the least efficient means to defeat structures. Because of their small basic load and high cost, ATGMs are better used against tanks or enemy-fortified firing positions. They can be effective against bunkers…

…When selecting firing positions for recoilless weapons and ATGMs, Marines should make maximum use of rubble, corners of buildings, and destroyed vehicles to provide cover for the crew. Recoilless weapons and ATGMs can also be moved…

…HMMWVs with ATGMs are employed in areas that maximize their capabilities in the built-up area. Figure D-11 shows mounted and dismounted firing positions. Figure D-11. ATGM Positions a. Rubble may interfere with missile…
