So, Caliber wont matter, squad makeup will, we need to add a LMG to the squad makeup and go bigger, make them 10-14 man squads instead of 7-10 man squads, add a DM and a LMG to each squad (Self contained like the marines) put the stuff in the supply system and let the commanders have more flexibility with the MTOE. Our MTOE had 2 DM's and 1 Rangefinder in each platoon for christ's sake, were we supposed to share when we were 3 fobs away from each other? And expand the field Collection requirements for intelligence. adding duties to Infantry guys is just stupid, the field changes everyday and they need to concentrate on that, dont make them sit in classes when they should do battle drills. I saw a CSM come down and try to pull my Support team from a sand table I was giving to do a sexual harassment class, the day before a mission because he didnt want one of them to get hurt which would have made them uncerted!
