How do they issue light machine guns in the military And how would someone be issued the M60?
Who gets issued them is based on the unit's MTOE, and what positions are open for them. By the way, the light machine gun would be the M249, not the M60 or M240. If you have an interest in being in a machine gun team, there are ways to go about it. First, express an interest in it. However, if you're in a line unit, you're going to be an assistant gunner first. The position of machine gunner is a low level leadership position, so a brand new cherry Private isn't going to be put on the machine gun. Non-line units (such as transportation units) tend to be a bit odd in how they assign their weapons.. often, it seems like it's more a matter of, "well, we have them, so I guess we should use them", and you'll see soldiers in such units issued the M249 or M240 as an individual weapon, rather than a crew served weapon.
