My LT and Me
Written by Mark Gerecht   
CSM Woodyard was my BN CSM when he wrote this article.  His untimely death while serving as our BN CSM had an impact on all of us but his leadership style and mentoring helped us grow and pass on his knowledge to others.  My LT and Me is a great read but more importantly it speaks to what we as soldiers/leaders build when we work together despite our differences. CSM Woodyard was a true Leader and Mentor! He let his actions speak rather than his words! He made a difference in us and I hope by sharing this article that it will make a difference for you, your soldiers, and your leaders.  Best Wishes CSM (R) Mark Gerecht

Leaders Book Notes - Accidents Involving M2 .50-Caliber Machine Gun
Written by ACO   
In this edition of my leader book notes I am discussing the proper setting of the weapon headspace and timing (H&T) of the M2 .50-caliber machine gun. The proper setting of the H&T procedures are contained in Field Manual (FM) 23-65 and Training Manual (TM) 9-1005-213-10.
We are experiencing an extremely high number of avoidable Soldier injuries from improper setting of weapon headspace and timing on the .50 caliber machine gun. In FY 07, 25 out of 42 reported malfunctions of the machine gun were due to improper setting of H&T. To date in FY 08, improper setting of H&T has been responsible for 44 out of 63 reported malfunctions. Many of these malfunctions have resulted in serious injuries including the loss of fingers, shrapnel wounds, burns, and fractures. This does not include the loss of manpower, degraded unit readiness and destruction or damage to the machine gun.

Green Eyes and Black RiflesThis book is a quick reference for military personnel conducting range training. It stems from the author's more than 20 years of shooting experience using the M16/M4 series weapons for sport, training and combat.

It gives the "what" and "how" but also the "why" necessary to teach the proper operation and employment of the M16/M4 weapon system. Areas covered include: ballistics, malfunctions, maintenance, and sight adjustments of commonly issued optics.
