Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Jim Regan Message: Mike, we didn't call it RANGER Training. It was the normal classes, scheduled for the Company, with Ranger Qualified Platform Instructors. Classes such as ; Land Navigation, Patrolling Techniques (Ambush/Combat/even Long Range Patrols, Small Unit Tactics, Artillery/Mortar Fire adjustment, Air delivery/Transportability Techniques, Survival Techniques, Demolitions Tng. All classes had "hands on," and evaluations of the troops after the platform session. We stayed away from using Films, the "Sleep Machine!" Only reverted to indoor training in "Inclement Weather." If the troops were miserable, they weren't paying attention. As I said, we had 14 Ranger qualified NCOs, and Most of the Officerss, were Ranger Qualified. Lots of "Recondo qualified. Talk about a tough Rifle Company!!! They were ready!!! Besides myself, three NCOs from the Company served tours at the Mountain Ranger Camp in the late 60's, early 70's; Sgts. Luna, Brinkley, and Bell.Jim RLTW |
