As part of the fire team the SAW gunner would enter the room with the fire team, whilst the other fire team continues to isolate the BLDG, by providing a base of fire, at least thats how I've always been taught.
That being the case I prefer to have the SAW gunner enter as the #3 man, but the SAW gunners position in the stack varies from Squad to Squad depending on what Division, Battalion, and Company you are in.
I just want to get some POI for that SAW gunner. We shoot all of his qualification ranges from the prone, then expect him to enter and clear rooms with his fire team. Perhaps the best answer is to task organize and leave both SAWs with the trailing fire team to isolate the building, while placing one of the riflemen who would normally be in the SBF fire team with the assault fire team. I dunno.
I would prefer to keep fire team integrity, that allows me to plan to leap frog fire teams from one room to the next.
There needs to be some training for SRM, CQM, whichever you would like to call it today, for the SAW gunner. And there is also a need for instruction concerning the most effective techniques for shooting while walking (forwards, backwards, and laterally).
I realize that this is an Infantry topic, and I understand that I might seem like a pesky bug, coming in here and cluttering up your board with this stuff, I just thought that we are all soldiers, and I could call on my big brothers in SF for some wisdom on the topic. Sorry if I am bugging you. Keep in mind that whatever info you share with me WILL be passed on and taught.
Thanks.
