Army Briefly Bans, Then Reinstates, 'Bay Tossing' | JQJO

The Army's 197th Infantry Brigade briefly banned "bay tossing," a practice where drill sergeants trash trainees' areas for disciplinary purposes. Brigade commander Col. Christopher Hallows issued a memo prohibiting the practice due to concerns about property damage and mistreatment of trainees. However, four days later, the ban was rescinded after a review determined existing regulations already addressed the issue. The Maneuver Center of Excellence confirmed the memos' authenticity, stating that corrective action is necessary but must adhere to regulations.
