What do you think of the changes? I think they are good, more relevant to today's battlefield. I still remember qualifying from inside the foxhole. Anyone else remember that?

I agree with earlier comments, great in theory but if the infrastructure is not there already how are they going to train, especially reserves and guard who do not have access to active duty post for the most part. Not sure about doing away with the unsupported part.

That works fine for those who can shoot, but I was NCOIC of a qual range at Ft. Jackson and half of those kids couldn't hit the broad side of a barn using the current standard.

Changing rifle qualification is similar to changing PT test. Great in theory, but concerns to exist. Training must change in order to meet the new standards. Army must ensure that supplies and range infrastructure exist to also meet new standards
