Likewise, the SSG who was a 19D yesterday, is woefully unprepared to be a 11B the day he shoes up at his new duty station.īoth can succeed in the new job tasks, but neither will be an expert in the field, they may become competent (most do), but is that what we want in our leaders? If that's all we want, "good enough"īuy more body bags, future generations of military folks are going to need them. Sarah Field is Idaho Army National Guard’s first certified female 19D cavalry scout instructor at the 1st Battalion, 204th Regional Training Institute (Armor) at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho. the expertise needed to be a 19D at the highest level of training for all duty positions is not something you can master in a few weeks when you PCS to a new unit and suddenly go from 11B SQD LDR to mounted or dismounted previously coded 19D position. The same holds true for a 19D.yes, like an 88M, 92G, 31V, a 19D may occasionally be used as a dismount, a mounted wheeled vehicle patrol, defensive position member. Army Cavalry Scout (MOS 19D) Duties and Responsibilities The main duty of this role is gaining enemy intelligence and reporting to commanding officers.
Like combining 11M and 11B, we took a career field where a dedicated demographic could become experts in their equipment, training, tactics, and knowledge of deployment needs and watered it down by lumping them in with 11B.operating as a 11B is completely different than operating as an armored fighting vehicle crewmen.The vehicle dismounts can be cross trained easily the Crew and your 11B sqd leader not so much. Not that many females are physically fit to preform it is much more than that. I recall my 2 years in Vietnam and cannot comprehend a female being part of the team. What you suggest brings to mind the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none" The combat engineer is the closest MOS to an infantry man and they allow females enter the ranks.
