Yeah. That's a nice saying to tell REMF's so they can keep their basic skills up. But 11 Bravo is a trained position and requires more than just Basic Training. You put a trained infantry platoon (and possibly even just a squad) against, say, a personnel service company, that PSC is gonna get wiped out 99 times out of 100. Their specialized training is different. Most PSC's and similar non-combat skill groups can't even set up a reasonable defensive perimeter (at least to infantry standards).
