Senior Mountaineering Course
Soldiers with the 71st Ordnance Group (EOD) embark on a hike to more than 13,500 feet above sea level with the Special Operations Advanced Mountaineering School’s (SOAMS) senior mountaineering course cadre and students during a culmination exercise Aug. 8 at Tenmile Range, Colo. The 71st EOD Soldiers played the role of an "untrained force", which forces the Special Forces students to incorporate the capabilities and limitations of a partnered force in the planning, preparing and execution of a mission. The two-day exercise included proper safety techniques, rappelling and scaling unforgiving terrain through sun, rain and hail up the side of a mountain. The exercise also provided the EOD Soldiers an opportunity to overcome personal fears and build confidence in their abilities. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
