Article Quote: "If the pilot program proves successful and is adopted, a unit leader could mix and match certified individual crewmen and officers to create ready crews instead of having to re-certify the whole crew each time one member leaves or falls below certification requirements."
Is this a good or bad policy?

It has worked that way in the field artillery forever. The end of the day is that the NCOIC certifies with a crew and is capable of traversing any weapons crew within that platoon, even when transfering platoons it should only require that the NCOIC be given time to validate and go over safety protocols.
If they have changed practices I would question why as it worked for as long as I can recall. The NCOIC should be well versed in each role on the weapon system and be able to lead and command a crew.

What you're saying is what I saw t be true. In this piece they are saying "the entire crew is considered unqualified and must re-qualify together once the crew is made whole". Something just doesn't sound right to me.

SFC (Join to see) It doesn't make sense. It sounds like maybe a local command has instituted further requirements which shows a lack of trust and respect for sobordinate leaders.

CSM Darieus ZaGara - That's why I was looking for some Active Duty comment. Heck it's Friday, if I was young, I wouldn't be on the phone/computer with a bunch of old geezers.

I can see pros and cons on both sides. I am hoping to get a few answers from our active-duty brothers and sisters.
