The reserves are going to be crunched on this. We do not have regular access to many range facilities that can accommodate the new standards. Many reserve units also utilize MUTA 6, 8, and 10 for these things but then do not get appropriate funding or time to train soldiers to make the most of that time at the range.

This is the first I'm hearing of it so I'm going to have to say we won't be ready.
