U.S. Army Air Assault School: Day Zero Obstacle Course

U.S. Army Soldiers take on the 10th Mountain Division Light Fighters School obstacle course during day zero of Air Assault School at Fort Drum, New York.
Air Assault School is physically and emotionally demanding and, by design, it weeds out those who don’t meet the requirements of the course.

@@dwgangsat I never heard or saw anything like that. As a matter of fact, doing a pre-march equipment inspection, I had forgotten a pair of gloves.
