Air Assault.

This is coolbert:

Courtesy the ARMY ROTC Internet web site and Tulane University a video of the "entrance exam", an obstacle course part of the course of instruction, qualification U.S. Army air assault course.

"Air Assault School US Army Air Assault School is a two-week (10 days) course of instruction conducted at several locations across the Army, including Fort Campbell, Kentucky; Fort Drum, NY; Camp Smith, USMA; and at overseas locations in Germany and Hawaii. In each case, the course of instruction is focused on Combat Assault Operations involving US Army rotary-wing aircraft . . . ZERO DAY On Zero Day, you will report to the school no later than 4:30 am for in processing. At 5:45 PM, the class moves to the obstacle course for the entrance examination . . . You must complete the first two obstacles and can only fail one of the remaining seven obstacles. You will have two chances to complete each obstacle."

YOU HAD BETTER BE PREPARED.

I believe this the air assault course for both the two week [ROTC] cadets and the active duty troops too. Quite humiliating I would think to not pass the obstacle course early in the morning of the first day of instruction. You clean floors and latrines the rest of the two weeks if you fail?

More video U.S. Army air assault course. This is beyond the ROTC two week course. Normal air assault course active duty troops is six weeks. By reputation harder than the parachutist course. You learn more and complete each field exercise with a rucksack march.

Anyone want to volunteer to give it a try?
