If it's serious, then whoever authored the idea needs to be fired and sent into a new line of work, like I would respond to bands that sounded terrible, out of tune, vocalist singing embarrassingly flat. Go sell your equipment at the pawn shop and forget this ever happened.
Imagine my AGs and ABs with 7.62 NATO rifles, let alone the RTO, key leaders, combat medics, FOs, combat engineers, my freaking grenadiers in the fire teams, Javelin gunners.
What a colossal and monstrous abortion someone has conceived....again.
You know how many 7.62 NATO mags most guys even in SOCOM will carry, with all the other crap? 4-5 on their kit, maybe some more in an assault pack.
I call that the "die in place" combat load, and several people have almost done exactly that because of it. If they weren't exfiled by rotary wing, it would have been an overrun situation.
Make chance contact en route to some objective, spend at least one mag on the initial return fire at the far ambush while key leaders and trail elements figure out what the 3 Ds are. Maneuver, using another mag or 2 and hope it isn't a bloody nose with a planned counter-attack.
After an initial chance contact like that, you can literally be close to black if you showed up with (5) 20rd 7.62 NATO mags like that. You still haven't even done your mission, and are located somewhere along the infil stage of movement.
Now you need resupply, unless you're cool with taking mags off your buddies in the trail elements during consolidation and reorganization, putting your unit at an average of 80 rounds per man.
Real smart. This is one of those rare cases where I will cue the draped coffin consequence, because that's how you get draped coffin redeployment, as opposed to having a fighting chance with a real basic load.
Do people not think this through?
