I've been in country now for a few months. I don't know where you're deploying too, but without getting into too much detail I've been all over the south. In my opinion, you'll want the ACOG. I carried both in Iraq, but when I was there it wasn't to kintetic. Here, I've stuck with the ACOG. The terrain is ever changing, and I think it's better to have the extra magnification and not need it then need it and not have it. Look at the stats on the war and you'll notice most casualities are from IED's. I don't know if you know what the 5 c's are when dealing with an IED, but one of them is confirm. Guess who gets to do that? Unless you're SOPs are different, you do. I'd rather have that magnification to scope out a possible IED with a blast radius of whatever the hell the insurgent felt like making..A little bit of stand-off if ya will
When it comes to CQB, there's always this great debate of using the sights or 'glancing over them.' I think the point and shoot reflex would be easier to master then judging where to hold at 600m's with a reddot in the middle of getting shot at, especially considering the type of training you'll probably be getting.
That's just my opinion though.
