Originally Published 5 months ago — by Army Times
The U.S. Army's 197th Infantry Brigade briefly banned the practice of 'bay tossing,' where drill sergeants overturn trainees' belongings as a form of corrective action, citing concerns over abuse and discipline. The ban was rescinded after a review determined that the behavior was already covered by existing policies on good order and discipline, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive training environment and treating soldiers with dignity.
