SCORE NECESSARY TO MAKE EXPERT RIFLEMAN RAISED BY WV REGULATIONS:
Training Regulations 150-10, dated June 6, 1923, received at thi3 post
on the last mail, raise the requirement for expert rifleman from 293 points
out of a possible 350 to a minimum of 300 points« The score necessary to make
sharpshooter remains 285. but it is now neaes3ary to make 250 to qualify as a
marksman*
During the last two years, the average qualification throughout the army
has increased, so that in outfits such as those at these Barracks, it is comrron
for the companies to qualify from 30^ to more than 50ji. It is believed this
has had somewhat to io with the increase in the score necessary to hold the dis
tinction of Expert Rifleman*
Although the new regulations are dated June 6th, it was stated at headquart
ers today that, since they had not been received here, they would not effect the
qualifications made on this post this year. They will, however, be in effect
next range season* The training regulations covers much the sane scope as the
Rifle Marksmanship" pamphlet 'vhich heretofore governed firing*
A large number of Training Regulations, modifying the Infantry Drill, and
expounding the combat principles of the Infantry arms have been received and
distributed among the officers and non-commissioned officersofthe post.
One of the most important changes is that the manner of carrying the auto
matic rifle at drill and ceremonies is now laid down. Soldiers armed with the
automatic rifle fall in with rifle slung on the shoulder* Inspection arms is
executed by removing the magazine and pulling back the operating handle without
removing the peice from the alung position.___
