What should a Soldier do if their weapon needs remedial action?

When a Soldier's weapon requires remedial action, looking into the chamber area through the ejection port is indeed the correct approach. This action allows the Soldier to visually inspect the chamber for any obstructions, misfeeds, or failure to eject. By checking the chamber, the Soldier can identify potential issues that may be causing the malfunction, such as a jammed round or dirt buildup.

This method ensures that the Soldier can assess the situation before taking further action, enhancing safety and effectiveness during handling. The other options, while they may seem relevant in certain contexts, do not directly address the immediate need to confirm the condition of the weapon, which is crucial for resolving the issue safely and effectively.
