Murken Ground Forces adding 2 months more to combat training

https://www.military.com/daily-news...ke-grunts-more-lethal.html?ESRC=todayinmil.sm

Quote from article:

With 22 weeks of infantry OSUT, "you can see right off that bat, we are going to have a hell of a lot better soldier," Kendrick said. "I will tell you, we will produce infantry soldiers with unmatched lethality compared to what we have had in the past."

Maybe they can do this with Officer Candidate school too. I imagine an Officer in charge of combat unit will need to know and be able to do even more. This is news for you veteran grunts to mull over amongst each other.

How does two months of sensitivity training make a soldier more lethal?

Good, $$$ going into military training.

Let's just bump it up to a full year of training before we turn these guys loose.

 

[D3thr0n3d K1ng]

Theyre doubling the time in combatives as well. Does that mean we will actually see good Army fighters in the UFC now?

Libs have lots of service members in their families so I dunno.
But hey, keep looking through those orange lenses

This is actually one area I’m ok with increased military spending

i wonder what will happen to the injury rates.

coming straight of of basic with no sleep and being worn out just to go 2 months extra of hard rucking isnt going to help the feet any.

maybe it wont be as fast paced to account for injury rates?

I'm cool with it. The more they learn early on, the less they'll have to remediate when they get to their unit.

22 weeks is a lot of schooling though. Feel bad for those fuckers.

"Sit at attention, and watch this video on sexual harassment private kill-murder-kill!"

"Member not to grab anyone by the Pussy, when you send hot metal down range to kill and dismember human beings."

"We here in the US military, will create the most PC, gender inclusive, warrior and killer this gender nuetral person's military has ever seen."

"we will produce infantry soldiers with unmatched lethality compared to what we have had in the past."

I don't think anyone has issue with their ability to kill people, it's the ability to build nations that is lacking.

I’m sure they will figure that part out, even during hell week, SEALs are monitored and held to slower paces for exactly that reason.

Should have posted it in the "Military Roll Call! Veterans[URL='http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/military-roll-call-veterans-gtfih.3269149/'], GTFIH!" section...[/URL]and no, 2 months does not change anything. It is the unit's responsibility to make a soldier more lethal, not the school. OCS is made up of all sorts of MOS, many are not combat related.

They need to make 30th AG a month long now

Hellllllll no.

99% of what I retained I learned at my unit anyways. The key is getting soldiers into the right mindset before they get there. Otherwise we keep the trends of two year served 20 year old kids on TDRL.

I am really curious, how much jogging with gear on do you do? And why is it jogging, wouldnt be more tactical when attacking a target to simply walk, or drive. Driving will get you there much faster, or walking will save energy, and be much quieter.

Jogging is faster than walking, but lose element of surpise, and is still much slower than driving. Driving gives you away, but is much much faster, and will save the energy of soldier.

If you are deployed, how much jogging with gear do you do?

The thought of endlessly jogging while in training makes me dreadful.

I cant speak for osut, but in basic you usually have 3 ruck events ( 1 day little to no sleeping, then a 2 day little to no sleeping, and a 3 day little to no sleeping with training events in between)

ruck is usually a formation walk with about 45 lbs of gear, +full uniform, +water source, +weapon, +helmet. jogging is typically not allowed due to risk of injury.

on top of ruck marching you might have some backback marches with body armor on ect. but again usually no jogging.

after basic your feet are usually trashed and then you transition to either ait or osut. ait usually just involves jogging in a lightweight pt uniform and pushups every morning, with osut being similar if not worse than the demands of basic (real shitty)
and in this case just got shittier

ok if its mostly just walking, then I ok with that. Much easier on the knees, and other joints.

There is still a fair bit of jogging and running (its just done with no weight) in basic in addition to rucking. and it is not uncommon for a few people per cycle to get stress fractures and get chaptered out of the military before they even started the more serious rucking portions.

rucking sounds easy but its harder. and doing it on no sleep absolutely sucks ass

How does two months of sensitivity training make a soldier more lethal?

Two months of boring classes and sitting down for hours. Unleash them, they blow off rage and steam from being confined.
