>>6685728 US Army says farewell to Schweinfurt

 

SCHWEINFURT, Germany — At U.S. military bases throughout the world, the “To the Colors” bugle call signals the lowering of the American flag and the symbolic end to the work day.

 

The simple ceremony was conducted at the Schweinfurt Army garrison for the final time on Friday, as what remained of the base’s facilities and grounds were officially turned over to the German government.

Schweinfurt’s closing is the latest piece of the U.S. military’s realignment in Europe, aimed at significantly reducing and consolidating America’s footprint across the continent. Its closure follows last week’s shuttering of the Bamberg military base and puts an end to 70 years of American operations in the area.

The Marine Corps is experimenting with quieted-down weapons and electronic hearing enhancements that could reshape the soundscape of warfare. They want to minimize some sounds and amplify others to get more control over what they and their enemies hear.

 

About 2,000 Marines have been testing carbines fitted with sound suppressors. The devices have long been used by special operations units, and the Marines want to expand their use into the mainstream infantry.

 

The primary goal is to reduce the deafening, chaotic roar of firefight noise so that front-line commanders can communicate with their troops.

 

"The simplest communication is extremely difficult," said Sgt. Dakota Fox, as he supervised a quartet of young Marines on a Camp Lejeune,

 

It's even more of a challenge to communicate in an actual firefight, Fox said, when a dozen Marines or more might be spread across 150 yards, shooting rifles and machine guns at once.

 

Equipping the weapons with suppressors — cylindrical canisters on the end of the barrel — changes the volume and texture of the sound.

 

"It's a black-and-white difference," Fox said. "The biggest thing about the suppressor is the command and control it allows on the battle space. I can have a conversation [at a normal level] without having to raise my voice or tone or anything like that."

 

"The fog of war is a very real thing," Fox said. "The suppressor helps mitigate part of that."
