[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2843495, member: 97050"] The shift “on paper” is to eliminate inefficiency. I’m just explaining big Marine Corps logic, not defending it. I’ve seen the infantry launch counter sniper operations as well as assist in surveillance and reconnaissance, so I’m well aware of the potential. I’m just quoting you, since you might be more aware of what I’m talking about. The fact is, STA platoon just chill at the battalion H&S, and does random trainings not related to the job, maybe schedules ranges every so often with the exception of predeployment reqs for a rotation cycle…which has stopped. SS at the division level, really don’t shoot much. I don’t reckon that was ever a secret. This, coupled with battalions not effectively using these skills, they decided to just replace this with infantry marines trained essentially as DMRs to fill long range requirements in combat. The 0317 will move to a recon mos 0322 as the training (school house) will continue to be under RTC (and its SOCOM equivalents). That usually means seat space will be lower, and boots will have to go through BRC like real men. Added clarification: battalion meaning Div batt. Not recon batt. Recon and Force will keep on keeping on. [/QUOTE]
