Prior to men shipping out for Vietnam up thru 1970, they "FAM Fired" (Familiarization firing) of the M16 jungle rifle. They QUALIFIED on the M14 service rifle. After Vietnam, the US Military (Army & Marines) adapted the M16 jungle rifle as the new standard SERVICE RIFLE in about 1970/73; replacing the M14 rifle.
