About

For today's infantryman, training in MOUT sites and tire houses is a more frequent occurrence then before. One of the most elaborate training events at the Joint Readiness Training Center is the fight at Shughart-Gordon, where a brigade combat team attacks to secure a Cortinian village and return it to host nation control. This fight, as is so often the case in MOUT, hinges on the ability of rifle squads, platoons, and companies to successfully accomplish their respective collective tasks. The comments of Mr. Johnston notwithstanding, many rifle platoons at the JRTC are challenged at getting from one building to the next. At the platoon level, MOUT can be an intense, violent, and short experience that can quickly render the unit combat ineffective.
