Hardcore Military Drills

You're only mechanized until you're not mechanized any more. Then you're on foot. If you do enough time, you find that out. Then it's heavy rucks on and move out. I still think these guys have units that do these things as a rule, for demo. Just like the US has drill teams.

My platoon's time in the sandbox is an exact example of this, deployed as a Mechwarrior, spent the first 8 weeks Airmobile and humping on foot due to vehicle shortages. Even after we got them, there were times when the cars stayed parked and we were rucks up. Subsequent tours and the transition to static FOB warfare, had the LAV's permanently stationed and the boys humped everywhere on foot. Mechanization is a luxury and the advance doesn't stop just because we are out of wheels.
