Not trying to be difficult, but I still don't quite follow you. You can't take a Bradley battalion into the field for more than a day without taking your CSS assets with you, and they typically do their actual MOS tasks every single day, unlike combat arms guys.
Now, if you're saying that CS and CSS types need more training in light infantry tactics and in basic battle drills, I agree wholeheartedly. I was the BMO for a mech infantry battalion when I got out. You shoulda heard the maintenance section b*tch when I told them we were going to do 'react to ambush' and 'react to contact' battle drills, as well as weapons familiarization with soviet-bloc weapons. Then the Jessica Lynch thing happened, and they were a whole lot more interested.

That is exactly what I am saying. Everyone is now a Grunt, and doing Combat Patrols regardless of MOS. They must get in the field (”hands on, boots on ground” to learn combat techniques for survivability while at home.
I'm a (very new) 27A, so the odds of me ever using infantry techniques is slim - but, as PFC Lynch demonstrated, if it ever hits the fan, that's what I need to know the most.
