Here is a recent picture from my training. This is my platoon. 41 infantry officers. All freezing our butts off early in the morning. It was about 7 am and around 30 degrees. we had been awake for a couple of hours but people were still moving slow.
We just fininshed our final field exercise for IOBC. It was a 10 day field problem, Platoon live fire exercise and a culminating attack on an Urban village. The culminating attack was supposed to be an Air Assault but we got rained out, so we ruck marched 14 miles for 6 hours(in the rain at a temp of 42 degrees) to the village and began the assault at 6 am. We attacked, seized 5 buildings and set up a perimeter defense to control the buildings and run patrols from for the next 2 days.
The pictures on Shalene's website are from the last day of patrols and operations in the town.
