SECTION II.   INTRODUCTION

Motivation           Use the following points to motivate the students:

·  The Bradley was a major participant in Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf.
·  Following Desert Storm, the Army investigated possible deficiencies and needed improvements to the
   Bradley by interviewing the soldiers who had fought the vehicle.
·  The Army acted on the recommendations it received, and the result is the Bradley ODS. The Bradley
   ODS incorporates several improvements that make it more lethal and survivable on the battlefields
   anticipated in the future.
·  Stowage improvements change the physical configuration of the Bradley--both inside and out. These
   changes accommodate the ODS improvements and other modernization, improve soldier effectiveness,
   and improve storage capacity.

Terminal               The terminal learning objective for this lesson is:
Learning
Objective

Action	Identify BFV-ODS stowage improvements,
Condition	given the materials presented in this lesson,
Standard	and successfully complete 7 of the 11 checks-on-learning.

Safety                   None.

GOOD MORNING. I AM _______________________________________, AND I WILL BE YOUR PRINCIPAL INSTRUCTOR FOR THE NEXT 90 MINUTES. YOU HAVE LEARNED THE ARMY IS PROVIDING YOUR BRADLEY WITH SEVERAL NEW CAPABILITIES. IN ADDITION TO THE INCREASED CAPABILITIES PROVIDED TO THE BRADLEY, MODIFICATIONS TO THE BRADLEY’S STOWAGE MAKE YOUR VEHICLE EVEN MORE LETHAL, SURVIVABLE, AND--IN SOME CASES--MORE COMFORTABLE.

WE WILL BEGIN WITH A QUICK REVIEW OF THOSE ITEMS THAT COMPRISE THE BRADLEY ODS IMPROVEMENTS. STARTING AT THE UPPER RIGHT AND PROCEEDING CLOCKWISE--
·  THE BCIS IS PLANNED FOR INSTALLATION ON ALL COMBAT VEHICLES. IT
   WILL GIVE COMBAT VEHICLES THE ABILITY TO BE IDENTIFIED AS A FRIEND
   AND TO IDENTIFY A POTENTIAL TARGET AS A FRIEND.
·  STOWAGE IMPROVEMENTS CONSIST OF A LARGE NUMBER OF
   MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CONFIGURATION OF
   THE BRADLEY. WE WILL DISCUSS MOST OF THEM IN A FEW MINUTES.
·  THE DVE WILL LET THE DRIVER MANEUVER EFFECTIVELY IN ADVERSE
   VISUAL CONDITIONS.
·  THE DCS WITH THE PRECISION LIGHTWEIGHT GPS RECEIVER PROVIDES THE
   BRADLEY COMMANDER AND DRIVER WITH ACCURATE POSITION AND
   NAVIGATION DATA.
·  THE MCD PROTECTS THE BRADLEY AGAINST MOST ATGMs.
·  THE BELRF PROVIDES THE RANGE TO TARGETS AND TARGET COORDINATES.

THESE SIX ITEMS COLLECTIVELY COMPRISE THE ODS-SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BRADLEY.

   ·  LOW WILL HEAT TO ABOUT 155 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
   ·  HI WILL HEAT TO ABOUT 185 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.
·  THE AMBER LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AFTER ABOUT 35 MINUTES. THE HEATER IS
   HOT. THE HEATER WILL MAINTAIN THE HOT TEMPERATURE FOR THREE
   HOURS.
·  WHEN THE AMBER LIGHT GOES OFF, TURN THE POWER SWITCH OFF AND
   UNFASTEN THE LATCH ON THE MRE LID.
·  LIFT AND REMOVE THE MRE HEATER LID. DO NOT REMOVE THE LID IF STEAM
   IS VENTING.
·  REMOVE THE INNER CONTAINER FROM THE MRE HEATER USING LID HOOKS
   AND GLOVES.
·  USE THE HOT WATER FROM THE WATER TAP TO MIX WITH POWDERED
   BEVERAGES. AVOID CLOGGING THE WATER TAP--DO NOT MIX BEVERAGES
   OR FOODS IN THE INNER COMPARTMENT.

THE MRE HEATER ONLY HEATS FOOD AND WATER. IT WILL NOT COOK, BOIL, OR FRY. NOR WILL IT DISINFECT OR DECONTAMINATE WATER.
