Freaked me out when I could only get smoke and illum rounds for my Joes with 203's. Further freaked me out when I was told that my Mk 19's could not be loaded or used without authorization from higher. Was thru bein freaked out when they said no hand grenades, just resigned myself to it by then.
AHOY, hope this works I'm trying to learn to use the Quotes.
So
03USMC your saying the (me) in your statement was not you. Is that what your saying.
And maybe your saying Maine infantry had no such regs or restrictions?
I would find that interresting. The disadvantages for ANG and reserves that is, one would think with all the talk about the lack of body and vehicle armor, we would here more about the lack of frags etc.
What say you, G-day!
HokieMSG, I'm not going to push my luck and try a double quotes.
On your statement about knocking a hole in a building by ramming a corner with a vehicle.
As you may recall the corner is the strongest point of a structure. Hence my remarks about placing explosives at an exterior brink wall if possible to keep building from collapsing or catching fire. I recall Waco when the dozers did target the corners in order to couse a collapse. So using the corner of the vehicle to ram a section of a wall yes, corner of building IMO no. I agree with front and back door statement, no go like you said. However remember stern areas usually have more and better cover for approches. G-day!
AHOY my mistake I did not yet posted my house/mouse holing notes. Here they are.
Outside and inside holes should be staggered, so enemy cannot shot through more than one at a time. Start on blind side of buildings that’s the side without windows. Used offensively or defensively. Not possible after buildings reduced to rubble.
Again you should never use obvious gates or holes made previously in fences or walls.
House holing/mouse holing methods; Look though (can be as small as ice pick), also throw though and go though types. Place an explosive charge against the ceiling and or floor wall juncture. Pros wall can provide climbing aid to ceiling hole. Charges placed at interior corners might provide access to four or eight rooms.
Cons- may weaken structures too. Charges used for breaching outside walls are placed at fire places or brick walls better to prevent walls or buildings from collapsing or catching fire.
Note later under rule # 12 in
Defensive section we find the fallowing;
Additionally, holes are made in walls to permit movement between rooms. Avoid the center of ceilings or floors. Movement between floors is accomplished by knocking holes in ceilings/floors and using ropes or a ladder that can be quickly installed or removed. Once the defender (you) has withdrawn to upper floors, these holes are blocked with timbers and furniture. Escape routes to permit rapid evacuation are clearly marked for night and day due to smoke and dust. All personnel are briefed and practice evacuation over different routes.G-day!
