The link HERE is what is currently being done at 29 Palms (better known as 29 Stumps to those in the know).
It is a semi-commercial for the company that is providing the training equipment and personnel, but it’s worth the 12 minutes to get a ‘feel’ for what our folks are being trained for. Note- There are some graphic scenes of both real and simulated injuries…
This takes Tigerland at Fort Polk (from the Vietnam era) to a whole new level of reality…
As as evidenced by the interviews, is doing a good job of preparing our troops for what they may face in the war zone.
Oh yeah, Happy 235th to all the Jarheads 🙂 Semper Fi my friends!
Very impressive. Thanks NFO
I’m all for it. Very old military adage; Train Hard, Fight Easy.
I am all for it too. What ever we can do to keep them prepared.
All- Agreed!
Geez, I’d managed to bury my memories of Tigerland and Ft. Polk alongside those of my ex-wife.
Thanks a lot for dredging them up… 🙂
