Introduction Flame is a valuable close-combat weapon that produces burns, oxygen depletion, and psychological impact. Since man instinctively fears flame, it is used to demoralize troops and reduce positions that have resisted other forms of attack. Both thickened and unthickened flame fuels are used to kill, dislodge, and demoralize personnel; to neutralize fortifications; and to destroy flammable material. Flame field expedients are effective tools that the commander uses to enhance the battlefield capabilities of the unit. In Lesson 1 you will learn the characteristics of flame fuels. You will also learn the preparation of flame fuel and the safety precautions to be observed in flame fuel preparation, use, and storage. To understand the preparation of flame fuel, you must be able to describe the -- •· Characteristics of flame fuel. •· Preparation of flame fuel. •· Proper safety precautions. Once the flame fuel is prepared, it becomes a versatile component in many devices. In Lesson 2 you will learn the fundamentals of FFEs. You will also learn the tactical uses, capabilities, and limitations of FFEs. Further, you will learn the firing systems to be used with FFEs and the installation of firing systems. To understand the fundamentals of flame field expedients, you must be able to describe the -- •· Tactical uses of FFEs. •· Capabilities and limitations of FFEs. •· Firing systems used for FFEs. •· Installation of firing systems. In Lesson 3 you will learn how to prepare flame devices. You will learn the procedures for preparing electrically and nonelectrically detonated FFE devices and flame illuminators. To understand the preparation of flame devices, you must be able to describe the -- • Procedures for preparing electrically detonated exploding flame devices. • Preparation of nonelectrically detonated exploding flame devices. •· Preparation of flame illuminators. The information in these three lessons will enable you to safely construct FFEs. Read each lesson carefully. Study the illustrations; they will help you to understand the material. Then perform the practice exercise at the end of the lesson. After you complete a practice exercise, use the practice exercise answer page to check your answers. Before going on to the next lesson, review any questions you missed. After you complete all three lessons, review the material before proceeding to the exam.
