Unconventional Warfare Exercise

The unconventional warfare exercise according to local law enforcement “resembles extreme role playing.” The students in this training will fire blank rounds. Moreover, they will work with Fort Bragg soliders. Who, in fact, will be acting as guerilla fighters. This information is based on the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office who said this in a Facebook post this past Monday.

Military Training will Commence in Late March Through Early April

On the Road to Becoming a Green Beret

In the final stage of Special Forces training is Robin Sage. That is before becoming a Green Beret. The name comes after an operative who was caught by the Nazis during World War II. They managed to escape after much more than 12 attempts.
