What is required for effective target engagement within the Target Engagement Area (TEA)?

Effective target engagement within the Target Engagement Area (TEA) relies on the principle of sufficient rounds to ensure a high probability of hit and to effectively neutralize the target. Engaging with a minimum of 10 rounds allows for greater accuracy and compensates for any missed shots due to factors such as environmental conditions, the shooter's skill level, and potential target movement. This quantity ensures that, even if some rounds are not perfectly placed, there are enough rounds fired to achieve the desired effect on the target.

In scenarios involving tactical engagements, a larger volume of fire can increase pressure on the adversary and reduce their capability to respond effectively. The use of multiple rounds also allows for adjustments based on the shooter's responsiveness to the target, improving overall effectiveness. Thus, the requirement of a minimum of 10 rounds is aligned with combat best practices to achieve successful engagement outcomes.
