I always thought that our forces should be trained with multiple weapons. I liked the idea of using a M-16 or one of the variants in an area where supply might be difficult and ranges are short.

An AR-10 with the same familiarity would be nice if the ranges are long and supply and transportation is available. The difference was someone objected to the .30 in the AR-10 and suggested a .270 or 6 MM range. I think I can go along with that.

I dearly love the Garands but their days are past. However I do like the idea the M-14's are hanging on. You mentioned the leader carrying a 1911 which may still be a current situation. Instead of the BAR, it would be a SAW, instead of the tommy gun, a MP-5 and instead of the Garands, it would be a M-16 with a 203 launcher on it.

Time marches on.
