SCENARIO -

Special Operations Forces in a combat zone, opposed by a well trained

post guards, conduct patrols, and execute specific combat missions, including
planning and rehearsal.

This OP was like no other. The entire day
was spent in the field under live combat conditions. Every
warrior had to pack everything needed for the entire operation, march
it to their firebase, and carry it out at the end of the mission.There were no breaks in the operation; there was even
combat during lunch. It was
the most physically challenging OP of the year. |
