As a minimum, set up the lane as follows:
START POINT
•
A - Medium Size Target (PMA-2 det)
. A good strong tone so that they can demonstrate solid
pinpointing technique.
•
B - Large and Small Target (PMA-2 and M14).
Here they must demonstrate that they can
actually detect two targets. Be careful to ensure that the students do not miss the smaller
target by only recognizing a response from the larger target. The targets must be laid so that
the small target can be heard. It is also a teaching point that the obvious target normally draws
attention and an operator suddenly focuses on it forgetting it could be booby-trapped with a
second mine. They must continue with their sweeping drill before investigating the target.
