Soldiers at Ranger School will now fix bayonets in test of grit
Ranger School, known for its difficulty, has introduced a new bayonet course. The course is a quarter-mile event that includes crawling through tunnels, sprinting over fields, and navigating barbed wire fences. Students must also use their bayonets on silicone targets.
The bayonet course is part of the months-long Ranger School program. It is designed to test students' ability to close in on the enemy and demonstrate grit and violence of action. Further details about the new bayonet course are available from the source, including the experience of the first class to participate in the course, Ranger Class 06-26, in April.
