As a lieutenant (my department was founded in 1775, and had over 500k at the time
), I expected my battalion and brigade commanders to be able to pass an APFT and qualify with their assigned weapon, even though they weren't expected to engage in direct combat unless things went very wrong. Fortunately, I wasn't disappointed.
I guess its a difference in cultures. I'm happy to hear these two chiefs can at least support their officers that are serving on two fronts.
