<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I don't think that "watered down" would be the term that I would use to describe today's training <a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="122529" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/122529-msg-mr-lee-wright">MSG Mr. Lee Wright</a>. We as an Army are fiscally strapped much like we were some 20 years ago and we as Leaders need to find innovative ways to achieve training objectives. If that means setting up a glass house with engineer tape to train to enter and clear a room, then that is what we have to do. If that means building a sand table and using small blocks of wood painted with bumper numbers to practice and rehearse mounted actions on contact, then that's what we have to do. These and many others were the types of things that we used to do back in the day, and I am sure you remember, to execute training when ideal resources were not readily available. We're NCOs, we think outside of the box to execute the commanders intent.
