I couldn't agree more. I would insist that the ammo be located a good 100 yards behind the line, and under cover from rain, snow, sleet during the winter; and sun during the summer. The guys could leave the firing line, get under some cover from the elements, remove helmets, body armor, etc and leisurely load magazines while smoking, pounding down water, eating, and generally cooling out and or getting away from the noise for a few minutes.
Results: Sustainment of very high levels of performance throughout a training day with much less consumption of ammunition -- plus guys who wanted to come back and train the next day!
You are describing what I call 'common sense' training.
