Right, Iraqi Army Officers and Ncos Receive Instruc Right, Iraqi army officers and NCOs receive instruc- tion on newly is- sued M16 rifles and M4 carbines during a train-the- trainer course conducted at the Besmaya Range Complex. Iraqi army units that are swapping their AK-series ri- fles for M16s and M4s are being as- sisted in the tran- sition by the Multi-National Se- curity Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I). An Iraqi NCO trains soldiers in room- clearing techniques at Besmaya’s mili- tary operations in urban terrain (MOUT) live-fire range. 16 ARMY I February 2008 Text and Photographs By Dennis Steele Senior Staff Writer he Besmaya Range Complex is a sprawl- ing 230-square-kilo- meter training facility situated halfway be- tween Baghdad and the Iranian border, and currently it is a pri- mary launchpad for the second surge in Iraq—the Iraqi army’s surge. Recently, an Iraqi army brigade was spread around the complex’s 26 individual ranges, Iraqi soldiers qualify with M16s at one of Besmaya's state-of-the-art, automated ranges. February 2008 I ARMY 17 which are the best ranges in the Middle East and rival some U.S. training ranges, according to American offi- cials. Including the complex’s life-support facilities and specialty schools (the Iraqi explosive ordnance disposal school and combined arms school among them), the com- plex received approximately $100 million in upgrades or new construction over the past two years. It is called the National Training Center of Iraq. At Besmaya, a brigade performs final individual and collective training, lasting about a month. Newly minted Iraqi soldiers are sent there from basic training centers, link up with their leaders and form into small units while the staff receives its final training. The brigade receives its complement of new equipment—vehicles (approxi- mately 400) and weapons, which now includes swapping AK rifles for American M16s and receiving marksman- ship training for that weapon. Most of the Iraqi army is switching to the M16 and M4 carbine. After training, a brigade goes straight from Besmaya to the battlefield under an Iraqi program to field a continuing stream of better trained and more cohesive units to beef up its boots-on-the-ground presence in trouble spots a new brigade at a time, expanding overall capabilities and tak- Below left, an Iraqi soldier’s fingerprint is scanned while an- other soldier has his photograph taken with his new rifle (center) to ensure accountability of newly issued M16 rifles.

Darel Maxfield, MN- STC-I’s (Multi-National Security Transition Command- Iraq) officer in charge at Besmaya and an Army Reserve officer from the 104th Division (Institutional Training). “My job is to train myself out of a job by training the Iraqis to train themselves … but my personal belief is that at the very least I owe it to these Iraqi soldiers’ moth- ers to provide the best training and best training facili- ties I can,” he said. “We can’t make them perfect while they’re here, but we can make them better and give those mothers’ sons the best opportunity we can to survive.” Only about two dozen American military personnel MNSTC-I’s portfolio ranges from cook school to the are stationed at Besmaya along with about twice that Iraqi cabinet.

In short, if a strong and sustainable Iraqi security force is the United States’ ticket out of Iraq, MNSTC-I is the ticketmaster, and American advisers will likely be the last large contingent to get on the bus.

James L. Jones, USMC Ret.—which re- ported a mixed grade on Iraq’s security forces’ state to Congress. The Jones Report was viewed as an objective baseline snapshot by the current MNSTC-I commander, Lt. Gen. James M. Dubik. “The report was hugely useful to me because it was current,” Gen. Dubik said. “From beginning to end [in- formation collection to published report] it took only six weeks. The flash-to-bang time was near zero.” He said there has been progress in the months since the report was issued. Regarding the Iraqi national police force, which received the most negative findings in the report, Gen. Dubik said that most of the national police 24 ARMY I February 2008 First Lt.

Meanwhile, all national police formations have since been rotated through formal replenishment training. Gen. Dubik added that it is significant to note that Iraqi confidence in their police has risen about 18 per- cent in polls taken since the Jones Report was issued. He said the trend is headed in the right direction. Gen. Dubik also said that many of the self-sufficiency shortfalls noted in the report regarding life support, lo- gistics and maintenance have begun to be addressed by the Iraqi government, but it will still take at least a year to establish an independent maintenance system and about the same time to fix the logistics system. “I define progress, however, as continuing to face new problem sets,” Gen. Dubik explained. “If you’re facing a Spc.

    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
