    MOUNTED RIFLEMAN COUNSELING GUIDE Message from the 74Th Regimental Commander to Leaders of the 3D Cavalry

    MOUNTED RIFLEMAN COUNSELING GUIDE Message from the 74th Regimental Commander to Leaders of the 3d Cavalry Many leaders will receive this guide and ask why it is necessary. They will say, “I don’t need a guide to know my Troopers. I do that already.” What we are seeing in the Regiment is that our current standard for “knowing our Troopers” is too low. This fact has become evident in the wake of several serious incidents, where “post-blast investigation” revealed facts about the Trooper that several echelons of leaders should have known. For instance, it is unacceptable for a leader not to know that a Trooper has separated from his wife and for months has continued to live off post. It is also unacceptable for a leader not to know if a Trooper pays child support or has designated someone other than his spouse to receive death benefits/SGLI. Conversely, I expect our leaders to know their Troopers’ personal goals and map out a plan to meet them. As much as we think we are practicing engaged leadership, and although we can never mitigate risk to zero…we can always improve. Using this guide, I expect 3d Cavalry Regiment leaders to achieve the following guidance: Leaders will prioritize engaged leadership through daily interactions and formal counseling, and do so at the expense of METL training, when necessary. Leaders will actively gather critical information from personnel documents and associated agencies to “connect the dots” of their Troopers’ lives. This effort is decisive in identifying risk and setting conditions for that Trooper’s success.
  • USA M14 Rifle

    USA M14 Rifle

    USA M14 Rifle The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14, is an American select-fire battle rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 in) ammunition. It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965 until being replaced by the M16 rifle beginning in 1968. The M14 was used by U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 Garand rifle. Although the M1 was among the most advanced infantry rifles of the late 1930s, it was not an ideal weapon. Modifications were already beginning to be made to the basic M1 rifle's design during the last months of World War II. Changes included adding fully automatic firing capability and replacing the eight-round en bloc clips with a detachable box magazine holding 20 rounds. Winchester, Remington, and Springfield Armory's own John Garand offered different conversions. Garand's design, the T20, was the most popular, and T20 prototypes served as the basis for a number of Springfield test rifles from 1945 through the early 1950s Production contracts Initial production contracts for the M14 were awarded to the Springfield Armory, Winchester, and Harrington & Richardson. Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge Inc. (TRW) would later be awarded a production contract for the rifle as well.
