The Roles and Weapons with the Squad

[William F. Owen]

Well its the old selection and maintenance of the aim thing. You guys think you are constrained by cost in todays environment you should have been in Rhodesia in the 70's. Its all about careful use of resources to the best effect. No just blasting off on the range, always needed a plan. Good troop sergeants noted who shot what, when, why and how many rounds and measured results.

The problem is what to select. What standard do you want, that is relevant to operations?
IMO, and in my day -the British Army actually wasted a vast amount of money, doing range training that did not create more effective soldiers.
