Orders For Completion of 05H20 Course
H Company Street - March 1966
The week at Tactical Training was frigid, as the temperature would remain below freezing most of the time. Every morning we would wake up with the water in our canteens frozen. Most of the mornings the Instructors would wake us with artillery simulators and machine gun fire.
We would go on extended over night maneuvers escorting truck convoys, which were attacked by the aggressor forces. We would do daytime patrols that were once again attacked. Near the end of it all we were captured by the enemy, tortured, escaped and had to find our way to the "friendly farmer" without being recaptured, as the enemy was patrolling the area, and talk our way to freedom. With this accomplished we were finished with the week in "Frozen Hell."
Following are a few of my pictures of that experience.
