RIP is an administrative tool used to give those with a lack of commitment a chance to puss-out before the going gets tough.
Now that the new Army gives the Batts. vehicles to drive ie gun jeeps, humvees, motorcycles, bikes etc... mobility should not be a problem, jeez and to think i felt guilty about getting on a duece and a half for mass transport.
Since the Army gives out new optics we should be able to put the little red dot or circle on something down-range that looks like it moves and try to kill it, hell i could never see what i was aiming at with iron sights past 300m, i just liked trying to kill something.
Don't need no special food, just give me ammo and a 2 qt canteen full of Ensure and i'm gtg.

We could use all the old 90s (90mm recoilless for the younger soldiers) as well as the pigs (60s) because I don't think those are issued any more either. I would sign up to be in wpns sqd again, I'm fat and old, so I'm definitely better suited for overwatch. :)
Hell, they could dig up a few 1911A1s and if we get lucky, maybe some M14s.
