The Army's M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress
The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Andrew Feickert Specialist in Military Ground Forces June 8, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RS22888 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Army’s M-4 Carbine: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The M-4 carbine is the Army’s primary individual combat weapon for infantry units. While there have been concerns raised by some about the M-4’s reliability and lethality, some studies suggest that the M-4 is performing well and is viewed favorably by users. The Army is undertaking both the M4 Carbine Improvement Program and the Individual Carbine Competition, the former to identify ways to improve the current weapon, and the latter to conduct an open competition among small arms manufacturers for a follow-on weapon. An integrated product team comprising representatives from the Infantry Center; the Armament, Research, Development, and Engineering Center; the Program Executive Office Soldier; and each of the armed services will assess proposed improvements to the M4. The proposal for the industry-wide competition is currently before the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, and with the anticipated approval, solicitation for industry submissions could begin this fall. It is expected, however, that a selection for a follow-on weapon will not occur before FY2013, and that fielding of a new weapon would take an additional three to four years. This report will be updated as events warrant. Congressional Research Service The -

16Th Infantry Division 47Th Field Artillery Camp Kearny, California Private John Leslie Banner
16th Infantry Division 47th Field Artillery Camp Kearny, California Private John Leslie Banner John Leslie Banner, a son of Samuel Banner and Ellen Radford Banner, was born on November 5, 1896 in Upton, Utah. He was the tenth of eleven children in the family of seven girls and four boys. He entered the army on September 3, 1918 and was assigned to Camp Kearny, California where he was training in the field artillery. While training, he became ill with influenza and developed pneumonia. The military contacted his Mother and she traveled to Camp Kearny to be at his side when he died. Just before he died, he told his mother, “Tell the folks not to feel bad. I am one out of thousands”. He died on December 6, 1918. A military funeral was held at Camp Kearny before his body was shipped home. Funeral services were held at the Coalville, Utah cemetery and he was buried there. At the time of his death, he was survived by his parents, four sisters and two brothers: Mary Ellen, Elizabeth Ann, Lydia, Cora Leone, Samuel, and William Henry. He was preceded in death by three sisters and one brother: Frances Alice, Lydia May, Mabel, and Benjamin. During World War I, the 16th Division was renamed the 37th Infantry Division. The formation of another division designated as the 16th Division occurred in 1918 and was stationed at Camp Kearny, California. It never went overseas and it was one of several divisions in WWI that did not select an insignia. The Army has not designated a new division as the 16th since it was demobilized in March 1919.. -

Introduction to Army Leadership
8420010_LT1_p002-015 8/14/08 1:31 PM Page 2 Leadership Track Section 1 INTRODUCTION TO ARMY LEADERSHIP Key Points 1 What Is Leadership? 2 The Be, Know, Do Leadership Philosophy 3 Levels of Army Leadership 4 Leadership Versus Management 5 The Cadet Command Leadership Development Program e All my life, both as a soldier and as an educator, I have been engaged in a search for a mysterious intangible. All nations seek it constantly because it is the key to greatness — sometimes to survival. That intangible is the electric and elusive quality known as leadership. GEN Mark Clark 8420010_LT1_p002-015 8/14/08 1:31 PM Page 3 Introduction to Army Leadership ■ 3 Introduction As a junior officer in the US Army, you must develop and exhibit character—a combination of values and attributes that enables you to see what to do, decide to do it, and influence others to follow. You must be competent in the knowledge and skills required to do your job effectively. And you must take the proper action to accomplish your mission based on what your character tells you is ethically right and appropriate. This philosophy of Be, Know, Do forms the foundation of all that will follow in your career as an officer and leader. The Be, Know, Do philosophy applies to all Soldiers, no matter what Army branch, rank, background, or gender. SGT Leigh Ann Hester, a National Guard military police officer, proved this in Iraq and became the first female Soldier to win the Silver Star since World War II. Silver Star Leadership SGT Leigh Ann Hester of the 617th Military Police Company, a National Guard unit out of Richmond, Ky., received the Silver Star, along with two other members of her unit, for their actions during an enemy ambush on their convoy. -
