"Non-Attribution"sounds to me like the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger "I had a bit of that running day and night patrols for AIT trainees back at Ft.Polk LA. We were tasked with the mission of getting new Infantrymen ready for the jungle environment of Vietnam ,since most of us had just returned ,we tried to make this training as realistic as possible ,following an old Military axiom "better to sweat in training than bleed in combat"the Louisiana swamps and our training made this very "Non Attribution" to say the least!

In the civilian classroom, the term you are looking for is "Supportive". While in a military training exercise, you would use terms like "Realistic", "Battle Focused", and "Full-Spectrum".

MSgt James Mullis – Not the term I was look for but it works, too. The term I was hunting for is "Non-Attribution." Thanks for responding, James, and keep in touch!

MSgt Ken "Airsoldier" Collins-Hardy There is a covering of some kind over the barrel and their M16's are in the water. Weapons need to be kept out of the water.

Sgt Theodore (Ted) M. Hallock – I've actually participated in a stream crossing exercise/demonstration before and I've no clue what's on the end of that Marine's M-16. I'll remember to pick an image with less distractions for questions in the future.

Yep rubber, and sometimes also the small clear plastic bag that C Rat spoons etc came in, just the right size and hold it in place over the flash suppressor, barrel end with a rubber band. (elastic) . It helped kept dirt out of the muzzle.
