I remember the commanding general talking about live fires. I guess the chief complaint was that the procedures used on a range are nothing like those in combat. The Army like to use the
train as you fight idealogy in training for war. I see a lot of benefit from those changes as long as there are responsible people on the ground to keep things safe.
