I-staccato ephikisayo ye-M-16 iphuma, ihlushwe yi-cannonade enobungozi yezibhamu eziningi nemishini. I-Sergeant ye-Army yokugunda impi imemezela imiyalo phezu kwempi yokulwa njengoba abaSailors abahlomile begqoke izigqoko ezigwadule nezigqoko zomzimba badonsa udoti futhi balungiselele ukuhlanganyela nesitha njengoba ukuthula kwentwasahlobo yokuthula e-Fort Jackson, SC, kuguqulwa ibe yindalo engokoqobo .
"Umnyango ungumngcwabo obulalayo! Awusoze, ungalokothi ume lapho! U-Hooah "ufundisa i-Alpha Company Task Force Marshall (TFM) i-Army Staff Sgt. UDavid Lyle, njengoba uthuli nomusi zicacile futhi zithula. "Hooah!" Woza amazwi okuqonda avela kwabaningi basolwandle, kanti abambalwa "Aye, Ayes" baphonswa ngaphakathi. Umphathi wezinkuni uhlola i-platoon yakhe yabaqeqeshwayo abazikhandla phansi bese beqaphela ukuthi omunye umuntu uyazizwa kahle.
ULyle uke wabona okuningi emsebenzini wakhe wezempi, kodwa akazange acabange ukuthi uzoqeqesha abadlali base-US Navy Sailors abazobe bethunyelwa e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan ngezinsuku ezimbalwa ukuze banikeze abafowabo baseSoldier ngezinye izinto- udinga usizo empini ende yokulwa nobuphekula.
Kodwa lapha yena kanye nama-sergeants akanye nawo, abahola abahamba phambili emgodini wokudubula, ababeka emagqumeni okusebenza, ukudweba esihlabathini ngezinduku ukufanekisa amaphuzu nokuhamba okuhambayo ngaphakathi komzana odidekile owenzelwe ukwenza imisebenzi yokulwa emadolobheni.
Amasosha azophinde abe njengabaphikisayo nabangane ukuze benze izimo zokuqeqesha zibe ngokoqobo.
I-Army First Sgt. U-Kevin Bramlett, isosha eliphezulu elibhalisiwe ku-Alpha Company, usephethe abaqeqeshi be-TFM abangu-18 abahlomile abaqeqeshelwe ukuhlanganiswa komuntu ngamunye we-Navy (IA). Abase-Sailors bazokongeza amabutho aseMpiya emhlabeni wonke njengengxenye yokusebenza okuhlangene okubizwa ngokuthi i-US Navy Individual Augmentee Combat Training (USNIACT).
"Ngiye ngazuza ngokusebenza nomunye umsebenzi," kusho uBramlett. "Njengoba ngifunde indlela inqubo ehlukile yokwenza ulwazi, ngiye ngilungise isitayela sami sokuqeqesha ukuze ngiyiqonde."
Abaqhubi abasebenza ngokusebenza-abaSebenzi nabase-Reservists, besukela esigabeni esivela ku-E-3 kuya ku-O-6, baqeqeshwa ngeviki ezimbili eMcCrady Training Centre ku-Fort Jackson bese bethunyelwa ngqo emidlalo yaseshashalazini e-Iraq, e-Afghanistan, e-Kuwait, eMpumalanga ye-Afrika (Djibouti) nezinye izifunda eziyingozi emhlabeni.
Kodwa olosolwandle abashiya ukuphepha kwemikhumbi yabo ukuhambahamba ngezikhali phakathi kwamadivaysi okuqhuma ama-explosive (IED), bagibele emathunjini futhi basuse izakhiwo zezihlubuki zezitha.
"Ngesikhathi ngijoyina uMbutho Wezempi Njengomsebenzi Wezisebenzi, angikaze ngicabange ukuthi ngizoba lapha ngikulungele ukulwa emhlabathini, kodwa ngashiya izinketho zami ezivulekile, ngazi ukuthi kufanele ngilungele ukwenza noma yini engangibuzwayo," kusho i-PS3. UMark Hutchinson, owayehamba nge-IA ukuqeqeshwa e-Fort Jackson ngokulungiselela ukuthunyelwa eKwait.
Njengabaningi basolwandle abaqeqeshwa i-IA, u-Hutchinson wakhethwa ngumyalo wakhe, kodwa uye wazibheka njengesivolonti ngenxa yokufunga isifungo futhi egqoke ifomu leNavy. "Lapho bethi bayangidinga, ngangizimisele ukuhamba," esho.
Ukuhamba ngezintaba ngamapulangwe anezinsiza, ukuhamba ngezihlabathi ezinzulu, ukushisa okushisa ngaphansi kwamakhilogremu angama-66 okugqoka kanye nemishini nokugibela esivumelwaneni esiqeda ukungena emzaneni owenziwe ngamabhokisi e-Connex ahlanjululwe yizinguquko ezinkulu emisebenzini yangaphambili kaHutchinson Isitatimende Sokusekela Abasebenzi ePensacola, Fla., Kodwa isimo sakhe sengqondo sibonisa lokho uMqondisi wezokuThuthukiswa komkhumbi (CNO) ayekufunayo kusukela kwabanamanzi abahamba ngezimoto ngesikhathi ethi ufuna i-Navy ukuba ingene empini.
"Amagama amane okuqala eSikhwalweni Sokuvikeleka kaZwelonke yi-'Amerika eseMpi, '" kusho uRADM Dave Gove, umlawuli wamaphoyisa, iNavy Personnel Development Command (NPDC) kanye neNavy Personnel Command (NPC), owengamele lolu hlelo lokuqeqesha i-IA. "Kumelwe silungele ukusekela izinsizakalo zokusekela izinsizakalo zezokulwa ukuthi i-CNO ithembise ukuqinisekisa ukuthi sisiza ukumboza amabutho emvelo ezweni."
Kunezinkulungwane ezingaba ngu-10 000 zasolwandle ezikhonza ezinkampanini ze-IA, zihlukaniswe ngokulinganayo phakathi komsebenzi osebenzayo nezinsimbi ze-Reserve. Iningi lama-IA lithola ama-Command Central Central e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan.
"Sibophezelekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abasolwandle bethu abasiza ukusekela amabutho aseMarines naseMpiya banokuqonda okunembile ukuze bakwazi ukubhekana nemvelo yabo futhi baphumelele ekufezeni umsebenzi wabo," kusho uGogo.
Faka i-Fort Jackson kanye nomqondisi wayo we-Army drill drill. Ngaphansi kwehlo iso elilindile le-TFM Battalion Commander uLt. Col. Doug Snyder kanye nabaphathi be-Alpha, Bravo noCharlie Companies, abafundisi kanye nabafundi ngokufanayo kumele balahle izinto eziningi abaye bafundiswa kusukela ekuqeqeshweni kwabo abaqeqeshiwe ukuze baqeqeshe futhi baqeqeshwe .
"Isithiyo esikhulu sabasolwandle sisabisa ukulwa nesosha," kusho u-Alpha Company Commander Army Capt, uJim Hulgan, ozosiza ukuhambisa abaqeqeshi be-IA abaqeqeshiwe abangu-3 700 kulo nyaka wezimali. "Kwezinye izimo bayayithatha kalula, kwabanye abakwenzi. Sisebenzisa ezinye ze-jargon ze-jargon bese sizama ukulandisa ukuqeqeshwa kokuthile abajwayele kakhulu. Esikhathini Samasosha siphenduka izakhamuzi zibe yiziSosha, kodwa akusikho okwenzayo lapha.
"Okokuqala, sibazisa ezenzweni zeMpi kanye nezimfundiso ukuze bazi kahle ukuthi i-Army yenza kanjani ibhizinisi phansi futhi iqonde ukuthi amasosha enza ntoni ukuze bakwazi ukunikeza usizo oluphumelelayo," kusho uHulgan.
"Okwesibili, bathola ukuqiniseka ukuthi bangakwazi ukwenza imishini abayithunyelwe ukuba bayenze."
Kodwa umgwaqo wamanqamuzi kufanele uhambe ukuze uthole khona akulula. Kusukela ngesikhathi behlasela i-Fort Jackson, ijubane lishesha futhi likhulu. Abasolwandle abafikanga lutho ngaphandle kwezingubo emaceleni abo futhi ngokushesha bafundiswa emkhathini wezempi.
Iqala ngenkinga yokufanisa, noma i-desert encoufling noma i-Army's uniform combat entsha, ne-Interceptor Body Armor (IBA). Iqoqo lizoqedwa yi-Rapid Fielding Initiative, efaka iHelmet Combat Helmet entsha, amabhuthani wokulwa nabantwana kanye ne-Wiley X Goggles.
Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kuya phambili, ama-sergeants abasawoti anemgomo oyinhloko wokubeka i-IAs engqondweni yomSolwazi. Izimo zokuqeqesha ukulwa nazo zenzelwe ukufundisa abashayeli bamakhono abacabangayo abacabangelayo ngakho-ke bangabenzi bokuzikhethela abahlakaniphile, ikakhulukazi ezimweni ezicindezelayo nezimo ezibucayi. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, phakathi kwezinye izinto, ukuthola abaFilikisi bamanzi bayazijwayele, bekhululekile futhi banolwazi ngangokunokwenzeka ngezikhali ezihlukahlukene abazozisebenzisa emidlalo yaseshashalazini.
Ngaphandle kokunikeza ukuqeqeshwa kwezikhali, abafundisi bemishini yokudoba bashukumisa abaSwandle ukuba bahlele futhi basebenze njengeqembu. Imfundo eyisisekelo inikezwa ezindaweni ezahlukene zokulwa, kuhlanganise namasu okulandelela, ukuxhumana, ukuhamba komhlaba, usizo lokuqala, i-MEDEVAC, ukuqwashisa kwamasiko kanye nezinkinga zokuhlaselwa kwedolobha. Umqondo uwukuqinisekisa ukuthi uma besesimweni sokulwa, bayoba nokunye ukuqeqeshwa ukubasiza ukuba basabele futhi ngethemba lokuthi bahlale bephila.
I-Chief Chief uJeoman Larkin Whetstone, oyisikhulu esiphezulu sehhovisi leNavy Liaison Office, wathi abagibeli bamatshe kumele bangakhohlwa ukuthi bathola isisekelo ekuqeqeshweni kwamakhono okulwa okuzokwakhiwa ngokuqeqeshwa okuqhubekayo lapho befika emidlalo yaseshashalazini.
"Sifundisa amakhono okulwa nokuqala," esho. "Asizami ukuguqula abaMowabi abe ngamanina."
Mhlawumbe hhayi, kodwa usuku lokuqeqeshwa olujwayelekile lwe-IA aluyona into yokuhleka usulu, noma.
"Ukhathele, kodwa kuyinto engavamile yokuqeqesha," kusho uCapT Marcus Fisk, uMaservervist kanye nomholi weKlasi 506. "Sikhuphuka ngo-5 ekuseni futhi sibeka amahora angu-18 ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa abaqeqeshi bavelele futhi Ngiyajabula kakhulu. "
I-Whetstone iyashesha ukudumisa abaqeqeshi bezempi ukuze baqeqeshe ukuphila kwabo, kodwa futhi ufuna abagibeli bezemikhumbi baqonde indlela amaSoldi azisa ngayo inkonzo yeNavy.
"Sicele i-Army ukuba yenze le nsizakalo ngakho-ke silindele ukuphathwa njengeklayenti, kodwa baye baphatha iNavy njengomlingani," kusho uWorthstone. "Abalandeli bebhola bayakhuthazeka kakhulu ngoba bayazi ukuthi benzani lapha, okumele basindise izimpilo. Bayazi ukuthi ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho bethumela umkhumbi wamanzi emsakazweni kusho ukuthi esinye isosha sithola ukuthatha ikhefu. "
UFisk ubona lokhu kuqeqeshwa njengokubonakaliswa okuqondile kokunyuka kwemisebenzi ehlangene yokusiza ukuhlangabezana nokushintsha izidingo zempi.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuqeqeshwa kwenza kube nokuqwashisa nokuqonda ukuthi lokho esikujwayele ukukwenza ku-Navy kuyashintsha," kusho isikhulu sezempi esiphezulu esasichitha iminyaka eyishumi ku-Navy Special Operations. "Uma ucabanga ukuthi amaphesenti angama-85 omhlaba wonke ahlala emanzini angama-200 e-nautical olwandle futhi kunemifula engaphezu kwamakhilomitha angaphezu kuka-900 000 emhlabeni, ubona kubalulekile ukuba uMbutho Wezempi uhileleke emhlabathini.
Ngicabanga ukuthi esikhathini esizayo lolu hlobo lokuqeqeshwa luzoba ngumbuso esikhundleni sokungabikho. "
"Abasolwandle babengazi ukuthi kunzima kangakanani eminye yale misebenzi, njengeqembu elisebenza kahle emisebenzini yasemadolobheni," kusho uSnyder. "Angikwazi ukugcizelela ngokwanele ukuthi ukulungelelwa kwe-Sailor esibucayi kuluphi ukuqeqeshwa. IAsidinga ukufika lapha ukulungele ukuqeqesha. Lokhu kusho ukuthi banezidingo zabo zezokwelapha kanye namazinyo agcwalisiwe, amaphepha abo akhona futhi alungele ngokomzimba, ngokwengqondo nangomuntu siqu.
"Ukuthatha abaqeqeshi abahlanu noma abayisithupha abangenaso isipiliyoni sokulwa nokuwafaka eqenjini elisebenzayo futhi elihlangene ukuze bakwazi ukuhlangabezana nomgomo wabo wokumiswa kuyinto eningi yokubuza ngesikhathi esifushane," kusho uSnyder. "Sibafundisa indlela yokuhamba, ukuhamba futhi mhlawumbe baqale ukugijima. Uma usenkundleni yaseshashalazini, bayithatha ezingeni elilandelayo, kodwa kumele babe nento okumele bayisebenze futhi bayothola lokho lapha. "
