GamingHyena's Guide to America's Army Training FAQ v1.4
America's Army can be quite frustrating because so much of the game depends
on the successful completion of your training. Therefore, I created FAQ to
help you
complete the training so you can get on with the game.

Basic Training:
Rifle Marksmanship:
Background:
Ah, the joys of Rifle Marksmanship. This is one of the most frustrating
training
missions in the entire game. Although easy to pass, it can be quite difficult
to master.
Objectives:
-23 hits: Marksman (lowest level required to pass)
-30 hits: Sharpshooter
-36 hits: Expert Marksman (required for sniper training)
You begin with the drill instructor informing you of the basics of the Rifle
Marksmanship training course. You get 40 targets, and 40 bullets. You only
need to hit 23 targets to pass, although you'll want to hit more if you want
access to sniper weapons
(and who doesn't). When the instructor finishes speaking, walk over to your
right and pick up the M16A2 rifle and ammo from the table and proceed to firing
point 9 (go outside the gate and head right). Alternatively, you can just
stand there for a while and you
will be teleported over to firing point 9 with your gun.
Now you get the chance to fire 4 clips of ammo into the targets to the front
of you. Two clips will be in the standing position, and two will be in the
unsupported position (i.e. you can stand, crouch, or lay down). You must wait
until the instructor
says, "commence firing" to start shooting, or he blows his whistle and you have
to start over. Alternatively, fire only in front of you. Shooting anywhere
else (such as at the soldier in the observation tower or at the recruit to the
far right you of will result in you
starting over. Also, killing the instructor (and believe me after retrying a
few times you'll want to) will result in a lengthy stay at Ft. Leavenworth.
The first time you try and qualify, I recommend using your shots to try and hit
targets while zoomed. For the rest
of you who are just trying to qualify for Expert Marksman, I find rapidly
clicking in semi-automatic mode is quicker than burst mode in finishing the
hated practice rounds.
Now comes the tricky part: the qualifying trial. You get 20 rounds standing
and 20 lying down. Remember that you only get 40 targets, so although you
don't have to hit every one you shouldn't be too choosy. You will also need to
reload your weapon before
you qualify, so don't forget. There are two basic methods for succeeding on
the firing range, so try both and see which better fits your style.
Continuous Zoom:
As the name implies, you will be zoomed in for the entire exercise. This
allows you to react quickly and hit the target sooner (they only stay up for a
few seconds). The main downside is that your soldier's constant loud breathing
throws off your aim. However, it is still possible to shoot accurately if you
know when to fire during his
breathing cycle. You can fire accurately just after the soldier breathes in or
out (listen for the distinctive "Wheeee," and "Whoooo" sounds). Be careful,
since you only have a window of about a second to aim and fire before he
inhales/exhales again. When scanning for targets, move the scope down so that
you can see the range on the upper half of your screen. However, since your
soldier breathes regularly, you can easily time your shots to coincide with his
breathing cycle.
Snap Shot:
Snap shot refers to seeing the target, then quickly going into zoom mode and
firing. The advantage to this method over Continuous Zoom is that you don't
have to contend with the breathing problem. The main disadvantages are that
you don't have a lot of time to properly aim you shot, and if you wait too long
your soldier will start to breathe and throw off your aim. If you choose this
route, aim your rifle at the target and then use the scope to make any minor
adjustments before firing.
However you ultimately choose to shoot, using the scope is a must. Without
it, you have almost no chance of hitting faraway targets. When aiming, try and
have the black bar in the middle of the scope cover the body of the target
(where you can only see its
head). The first 20 rounds are where you will make or break your qualifying
trial (when you are standing up). Since it is more difficult to accurately hit
targets when standing, you must make sure you don't waste your misses
(remember, you can miss 4 rounds and
still qualify as an Expert Marksman). Also, if you miss a target the first
time, do not try for it again (unless you have too many missed targets
already). Some targets seem to have force fields around them that makes them
bulletproof, meaning you can waste your shots on them all day and not hit them.
Obstacle Course:
Background:
With the horrors of the rifle range behind you, you can now advance to the
next training mission. The obstacle course will introduce you to the basics of
movement in America's Army by having you maneuver around the course.
Objectives:
-Complete the obstacle course in under 1:30
Courage:
Once the instructor is finished explaining the basics of the course, move
forward and sidestep (strafe) through the mini maze, staying in the white lane
of the course. The next part of the course teaches basic jumping and crawling
skills. You must crawl, jump, and crawl again under the logs to pass this
part. Simply crouching down isn't enough; you must lie down to get under the
logs. If you find yourself unable to get into the crawling position, you may
be standing too close to an object. Take a step back and try again.
Honor:
Next comes the climbing portion. Climb up the wooden ladder and walk across
the beam. It's best to look down at the beam when walking and try and keep the
beam in a straight line in your vision. Instead of climbing down, you can
simply jump off the beam; it will save you time during your timed run of the
course.
Integrity:
You are faced with a wooden wall with handhelds. It is too big to jump over,
so obviously you must climb it. Look up and move forward when facing the wall
to climb over it.
Loyalty:
This part of the course combines you skill of climbing with your skill of
walking forward. Just climb up the ladder and walk across the planks (don't
worry, you won't fall through them). You can then either climb down the net on
the opposite side, or simply
jump down (and be treated to a sickening crunch when you hit the ground).
Respect:
In keeping with the previous theme of "you'd have to be a retard not to pass
this course," the instructors challenge you with a tube to get through. But
you'll show them! Simply crouch and walk through the tube. Now who's Mr.
Smartypants? Hmm?
Service:
You must now walk across a thin beam over a sand pit. Although easy, you
might want to fall just once to spite the instructor who has an unnatural
attraction to his "freshly raked sand pit."
Courage:
Your final obstacle consists of rows of barbed wire you must pass under. Just
lie down and crawl underneath all the barbed wire to finish the course. There,
wasn't that fun?
Now you are ready for the timed part of the course. Simply navigate the
course again under a minute thirty seconds to pass. Since the instructor
doesn't stop you at every point like he did before, this should be easy for you
(although he seems very
impressed in your ability to perform these simple tasks).
US Weapons:
Background:
Now you get to handle the fun stuff. Heavy weapons abound in this mission,
and best of all – no marksmanship test!
Objectives:
-Familiarize yourself with U.S. infantry weapons
Walk over to the M249 SAW and pick it and the ammo up by using the "action"
command (default button: E). On the firing range, you can try and hit the
tanks or (your old arch nemesis) the red targets. Once you're done spraying
the field with inaccurate fire, proceed to the next table.
You get the M203. It's like the M16, but with a grenade launcher attached.
You ought to fire off a few grenades (default button: H) because they make this
comical "boink" sound when you lob one off. And just in case you were
wondering, no you cannot shoot one at the ground and blow yourself up. You
only get practice grenades (and a good thing too if you were planning on using
them to blow yourself up).
Next come the smoke and frag grenades. Those of you who have suicidal
tendencies can rejoice in the knowledge that these are live grenades that can
kill you. However, you might want to throw a few onto the range to see what
they're like. Also,
you can "cook" a grenade by holding it in your hand, pressing the "alternate
fire button" and then throwing. Remember that the grenade only has a 5 second
fuse, and you don't want to be holding it when it goes off.
If for whatever reason you don't want to try the weapons, you don't have to.
Just walk up the stairs at the far end of the range to complete the mission.
MOUT Training:
Background:
Although MOUT sounds like the noise an agitated barnyard animal might make, it
actually stands for Military Operations in Urban Terrain. As the name implies,
you will spend the course in an urban setting (actually just a big building
with a bunch of doors) and have to differentiate between friend and foe. For
those of you who are old enough to remember, it's a lot like Hogan's Alley for
the NES.
Objectives:
-Shoot target Charlie
-Shoot target Bravo
-Shoot target Alpha
-Unlock door in dark
-Cross finish line
When you first start out, you are told that you should throw a flashbang
grenade into the room to stun your opponents, then rush into the room before
the effects wear out. Actually, all that's required of you is to shoot the
three cardboard cutouts of the terrorists (one is to your left behind some
tires, one is in the window to your right, and one is in the upper lefthand
corner). They won't fire back, so you can take your time if you choose. When
all three are shot, the door will open. Inside the next room are a doorway and
a ladder leading down. Take the ladder down and crawl through the tube
(the doorway just leads behind the window where you shot the terrorist. Turn
on your night vision goggles (default button: V) and you should see a person
behind the grate up ahead. This person is a civilian; so don't shoot him
(although you have to wonder what a
civilian is doing in a pipe). Take a right and go down the pipe. At the end
of the pipe is yet another person behind the grate, but this one is a
terrorist. Shoot him and follow the pipe out until you see a group of
terrorists (don't forget about the other terrorist in the
final pipe to the right).
Shoot the three terrorists in the room and head out the door. Continue down
the hall, shooting terrorists along the way (use your night vision goggles to
get them all). You should come to a locked door. Face the door and hold the
"use" command to pick the
lock. Head right and you should see a ladder. Climb the ladder and go through
the doorway. Shoot the terrorists and go through the doorway (by the civilian
in and yellow jacket). Follow the hall down and open the final door. Walk
outside to finish the mission. Since you have finished basic training, you are
now able to play online.
Airborne School:
250' Tower:
Background:
Finishing Airborne School allows you access to the 82nd airborne division as
well as Ranger School. But first, you must successfully parachute off a 250
foot training tower. Given the difficulty in making a safe landing plus the
game's rather lackluster instructions, this is easier said than done.
Objectives:
-Successfully parachute off the training tower
Airborne training is conducted at Fort Benning, Georgia. The instructor tells
you the basics of airborne training and leaves you with one very important bit
of information:
"Make sure you are facing 90 degrees from the direction you are moving and
flare before hitting the ground and go into a PLF."
What this basically boils down to is: look straight ahead when you are about
to land if you don't want to be 2 feet shorter. The easiest way to tell if you
are looking straight ahead is if you can see equal parts of both your left and
right hands at the very
top of your screen. Of course, since you start the mission looking straight
ahead, as long as you don't move your mouse you won't have to worry about that.
When you reach the top of the tower, you get the second vital piece
ofinformation for parachuting safely:
"Press to flare your parachute and slow you descent before
landing. Be careful: flaring too soon or too often can lead to a premature
collapse of the
parachute."
Unfortunately, the game isn't nice enough to tell you when "too soon" or "too
often" is, so I've developed a good rule of thumb for flaring the chute at the
right time. At the top of the tower, the instructor will say "safety-line-time
safety-line-time safety-line-time" and then you will drop. When you drop,
repeat to yourself "safety-line-time safety-line-time safety-line-time" at the
same rate as your instructor said it, and then flare the chute. When you flare
the chute, just tap the "flare" button a few times before you hit the ground.
You can only flare your chute about 3 times before it collapses, so don't tap
the button too quickly. With any luck you will land safely (your soldier
automatically rolls when he hits the ground) and pass the mission.
Live Jump:
Background:
Your final jump is from an airplane flying at 1,250 feet. Furthermore, you
must land within the designated circle to pass the mission. Although slightly
more difficult than the training tower, it can be done on the first try with
proper instruction. Oh, did I
mention it was being done at night?
Objectives:
-Successfully parachute from a C-17 Globemaster
-You must land within the circle to pass the mission
Again, this jump can be done easily provided your timing isn't off. You start
the mission looking out the door of the airplane. Pay attention to the lights
near the doorway. They flash from red to yellow to green to signify when you
are to jump. Once outside the
aircraft move forward and left towards the drop zone. Your goal is to get as
close to the green smoke as possible. All the meanwhile, you should be
counting "one and two and three and four…" all the way up to twelve. When you
hit twelve, you should flare your chute. This will slow you down some. By
this time you should be facing forward. Flare
it again about a second later to slow down even more and you should hit the
ground. You will go into a roll and with any luck end up still inside the
circle. Congratulations, you just earned your airborne wings!
Expert Marksmanship
M-24 Range:
Background:
Congradulations! You finally made Expert Marksman. Welcome to sniper school.
You will be training
with the M-24 Sniper Rifle.
Objectives:
-Hit the white target. You only get one shot.
All snipers live by a simple rule, "one shot, one kill." Unfortunately, this
will be your standard as well when qualifying for this course. The good news
for you is that you only have to be accurate once to qualify. Therefore, I
would suggest training a little before you have to make it count (if you choose
not to train you can simply walk off the range to begin your qualifying shot).
At these ranges,hitting a target is virtually impossible unless you take the
following steps first:
1) Drop to the ground
2) Make sure there are no obstructions and you have a clear shot
3) Use the tripod (default button: H)
4) Make sure you take the shot at the right time during your breathing cycle.
You have all the time in the world to make the shot, so only take it when you
are good and ready. Scan the range and find the white target. Get into
position and aim the cursor at the target. You willnotice how much breathing
affects your aim, so remember to shoot only after the "Wheeee" and "Whoooo"
when you aim is at its best. Finally, try to aim at the head of the target,
since there seems to be a slight drop in the path of a bullet at these ranges.
This is a lot easier than qualifying for Expert Marksman, so relax and only
fire when you feel ready.
M-82 Range.
Background:
The M-82 is the big brother to the M-24, firing a whopping 50 caliber shot.
This will allow you to take on both infantry and vehicles with ease.
Objective:
-Destroy unexploded ordinance. You only get one shot.
This rifle handles a little differently from the M-24, so you might want a few
practice shots. The recoil on the M-82 is unbelieveable, and is so powerful
you will be jolted out of zoom mode when you fire. Your job in this case is to
destroy an unexploded mortar shell. Line up your shot using the same steps as
the M-24 and look for the mortal shell. It looks like a typical image of a
bomb (actually, it looks like a giant chicken leg sticking out of the ground).
When you have located the shell, aim for the top white
portion of the shell and fire. That should give you enough height to
compensate for the distance and allow you to pass the course.
Medic Test
Background:
Unlike other games, medic is not a class onto itself. The only difference
between the medic and the other members of your squad is that if you press
"use" on a friendly wounded soldier you will heal them (and gain some honor to
boot). Although healing in AA is very easy, medic training involves several
long mulitple choice tests to qualify. Training takes place in a hospital, but
there is little of interest there except for the classes.
You can't skip past thelessons, so I suggest disabling "full screen" mode and
doing whatever you wish on your computer while the lesson plays in the
background. You have as long asyou want to take the test, so feel free to walk
away from the game for a few minutes if you don't want to listen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Field Training
Background: Compared to the tests, this final step of medic training is very
easy.
Objectives:
-To treat 3 victims in order of the severity of wounds.
This mission would have been far more challenging if you did not ecounter the
most severe hurt victim first. While there is no set time limit, if you take
an unreasonably long time you will fail. Walk down the NW path until you reach
the first casualty behind a log ("Donny"). South of him near a tree is the
next casualty ("Walter"). The final casualty is NE ("Jeffrey").
Congradualations, you are now qualified as a medic.
Special Forces:
SF AVWID (Aircraft, vehicle, weapon identification)
Background:
Special Forces represent the best of the best in the United States Army. This
mission eases you into training by giving you some basic information about the
Special Forces and having you take yet another multiple choice test.
NOTE:
Special Forces mission allow you to use your customized weapon and participate
on SF maps. Keep in mind you must have at least 15 honor to be a special
forces class on a SF map.
Ojbectives:
-Talk to all 7 Special Forces team members
-Identify 11 out of 15 items in a multiple choice examination
This part is easy enough. Wait for the soldier to quit talking to you, and
walk over to the picnic tables and talk to all 7 special forces members. You
will not be tested on what they tell you, and this part is just to give you
some background information on the different members.
When you are finished, go SW to building T-3164 (it has a large sign at the
front) to begin your identification training. If you can't find the
building/take too long looking around, you will be automatically transported to
the class and yelled at by the instructor.
NOTE:
Before you go in, check out the guy next to the vending machine as he tries to
get his quarters out of the machine. Stupid Arctic treats!
Once inside, take a look around the classroom and you will see several posters
on the wall. They give the basic specs of several vehicles on the test. Have
a seat and let the instructor begin. If you wait too long to sit down, the
instructor will kick you out of class and you have to start over from the
begining. After the instructor finishes his (very long) lesson, you have a few
minutes to look at the slides. Next, you are shown a series of slides and have
to answer the questions related to the slides in 15 seconds. Note that the
slides are timed, so if you trying to take the test on your own you will only
have a limited amount of time to look. For reference purposes, feel free to
get up during the exam and look at the posters on the wall.
NOTE:
In addition to only having 15 seconds to look at the slides, you only have 15
seconds to answer the questions. Once a slide is done you cannot go back and
answer old questions, so be quick. Sadly, unlike the medic exams you cannot
just turn the volume down and walk away from this training.

After you turn in your test, you'll get a few tips for the escape and evasion
course. Pay attention to them if you don't want to endlessly repeat the next
and hardest training mission.
SF E & E (escape and evasion)
Background:
This is by far the hardest training mission if you don't know where to go.
You are dropped off at night and have to navigate 3 way points without being
detected. There is really only one path through the camp, and if spotted you
have to go back to the last waypoint you reached. Luckily, the mission is not
timed.
Objectives:
-Reach waypoint A without being spotted
-Reach waypoint B without being spotted
-Reach waypoint C without being spotted
-Honk truck horn to be extracted.
Objective A:
This is a very long mission, so be sure you can set aside a large chunk of
time to complete it. The helicopter instructor gives you a few tips as you
make your way through the camp to the insertion point. Once you drop down, go
prone. Throughout this mission, you should always stay prone to avoid being
spotted. Looking South. you will see a man sitting in a little hut with a lamp
on the table. He's only an instructor, so don't worry about being spotted by
him.
Head west until you hit the rock wall, then turn south. Go through the little
trees (don't worry about the noise made by the leaves) and you should see a
guard SE on the top of the ravine. Here the road splits into branches headed W
and SW. Stick with the west road. You should come to a tree on the other side
of the ravine and a bright light through the branches. Keep going west through
the next set of trees.
You should now come on a west heading to the ravine wall on your left and a
large boulder on your right. There is a small gap between the two you can
squeeze through. Once in the trees you should have a pretty good view of the
camp to the NW. When you hit the next set of trees look up the ravine wall
(south). Your instructor told you to stay on the ground but we'll break the
rule for a moment. Head south up the ravine wall. To the SW you should see a
guard tower and a bridge. Stay on the left side of the little valley you are
in. When the valley opens up you should see a guard near the trees on a west
heading. Head down the mountain and go towards the bridge. You will reach
Checkpoint A just before you get to the bridge.
Objective B:
You are now facing the bridge. Head right down the ravine. Once at the
bottom head west until you hit a large rock. Go around the rock and up the
hill until you end up in a clump of bushes. You should be on the other side of
the bridge with Objective A behind you. The guard tower on your left will be
shining a searchlight on the road in front of you. Hug the side of the
mountain and head west until you reach the next clump of trees. Keep going
west until you reach a fork in the road. One heads NW and the other SW. Take
the SW branch and follow it until you see another guard tower south of you.
Now you have the choice of either going straight up the hill (S) or following
the ravine (SE). Follow the ravine SE until it curves south. You should now
see a path up the hill and the ravine staying roughly south with a bunch of
trees in it. Go as slow as you can and stay in the ravine. Head towards the
trees. Go very slowly and follow the ravine until you can see a large hill in
front of you with some very large trees. You are almost there. Stay in the
middle of the ravine and heads towards Objective B on your compass. You are
getting very close to it when you can start to see a guard tower light off to
the SW.
Objective C:
Head SW towards the large guard tower. Now comes the toughest part of the E &
E training. You should see two large boulders with a tree in the middle.
Crawl slowly towards the first boulder. You should be able to almost get to
the tree before the guard tower can see you. Also note the guard on the far
ridge due west of your position. Now the guard tower light has 5 positions: a
little past the far rock, the far rock, the tree, the rock next to you, and a
little behind the rock next to you. Wait for the light to go behind the rock
next to you and crawl quickly past the tree and far boulder. The should be a
tree next to the far boulder you can safely hide in. Follow the canyon SW
until you come to a bridge. There should be a guard tower to the left of the
bridge, and a Humvee to the far right. Go down the hill into the little stream
and head west. You should see a large tree growing out of the side of the left
embankment. You can use the nearby rock and crawl up the side of the hill if
you crouch.
Once up you should be able to see a truck to your SW. This is your final
objective. Go prone and move towards the truck. Be careful about making too
much noise; the humvee and guards are next to you. Also next to the truck is a
guy sitting in a little hut like the one near your starting position. Don't
worry about him; he's only another instructor. As you are heading towards the
truck you should hit Objective C. Now all you have to do is flash the lights
to get extracted. Head towards the driver's side door of the truck and "use"
the truck to end the mission.
Congradulations, you have just passed all the training missions in America's
Army. I hope you found this guide useful.
