The Army sought soldiers to volunteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within each of the division\u2019s three brigades, 178 soldiers with the 11B specialty transitioned to 19C. For the division, the total amounted to 534 troops transferring from 11B to 19C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the service members then underwent a series of training courses to specialize and fine-tune their skills in the Bradley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the work paid off, according to Sgt. 1st Class Patrick Muir, the division Bradley master gunner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to the 19C implementation, the Bradley gunnery results saw six crews earn the \u201cdistinguished\u201d designation, 23 earn \u201csuperior,\u201d 29 \u201cqualified\u201d and 58 \u201cless than qualified.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who were given the \u201cless than qualified\u201d designation were required to reshoot, said Col. Jose Reyes, brigade commander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the transition to the 19C MOS, 31 crews earned \u201cdistinguished,\u201d 35 earned \u201csuperior,\u201d 43 \u201cqualified\u201d and 21 \u201cless than qualified.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLeadership matters,\u201d Reyes said. \u201cOne of the reasons 2nd ABCT was able to be a lot more successful was the emphasis that leaders put on gunnery excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muir said that having realistic expectations and time management helped crews focus on the basics, which improved their proficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brigade is currently in the field training now, transitioning from live fire to maneuver proficiency, Reyes told Army Times. Next, they\u2019ll complete platoon situational training exercises before moving to company-level exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s all in preparation for their fall rotation at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between now and then, the unit will receive new gear, such as drones and electronic warfare tools, as part of its Transformation in Contact initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the focus, Reyes said, is the force structure, or how they\u2019ll employ their assets in the field in different ways to see how best an armored formation should fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specialized training bolstered the number of highly
