Noted with interest are recent articles about the latest and greatest small arms being theoretically adopted by United States military Special Operations Unit. I have had a brief glimpse of the current weapons issue rodeo with in-person, hands-on examples of several dozen weapons issued to small groups of people.

tems had basic working zeros in place. In fairness, that’s because it is new gear or gear sort of issued as it went out the door for testing. So this is stated correctly and understood, the current understaffed, overworked and under-funded military does a great job for which I am grateful. As is often the case, you can issue gear out, but it doesn’t mean the person behind it knows how to run it or—most of all—gets enough training time to bring themselves up with their system.

With the rapid rotations and constant train ups as well as the “add new gear to the system,” every time the troops come stateside it is a wonder they do as well as they do with the limited resources they have, and the even more limited command direction and support.
