Training for the Warrior Athlete
This FMP has been posted one other time. If you did it last time, take a look at your numbers to see if you’ve made improvement.
Rucksack weight has been reduced from 50lbs to 35lbs.
Timeline has remained the same, but a E&E plan has been added if you go over.
OPERATION: “Mending Bridges”
Situation:
It is widely known that Taliban cells have aggressively targeted NATO and US Military travel routes with improvised explosive devices (IEDs). In general, due to the armored equipment now in use, damages have been minimized. As a result, Taliban forces have sought out larger targets to disrupt the flow of transportation.
Due to a heightened awareness of the enemy’s intentions to cause breakdowns in movement, Military intelligence has been watching closely for any indications of activity. As of 2230 last night, that increase in alertness paid off.
Taliban forces have rigged an important bridge with an unknown amount of explosives, and what is though to be a pressure sensor in the middle of the bridge to function as a detonator. There may be other detonation sources. A precursory look at the explosive chain shows that it is fairly rudimentary and can be safely removed.
The entire area around the bridge is secure.
Objective:
Make safe and remove explosives. Once explosives are removed, safely blow all ordinance.
Insertion:
EOD team will free fall into area and proceed to bridge on foot under heavy packs. At approximately 2 kilometers from bridge, team will transition to diving equipment and swim remaining distance to bridge.
Actions at the Objective:
Once at the base of the bridge, and still underwater, inspect and remove charges. Once all charges are removed underwater, team will transition to harness and climbing equipment and ascend bridge from bottom to top, removing charges along the way.
Extraction:
Upon reaching the top of the bridge, team will radio for helo pick up. All explosives, including chain and detonator will be safely disposed of approximately 1 kilometer from bridge, where helo will rendezvous with team.
Timeline:
Although the area is secure, this is enemy territory. Once the actions at the objective have begun, the entire operation should not exceed 35 minutes.
E&E Plan
If you miss the helo you’ll have to ruck back to the bridge and swim back to an alternate pickup location.

this was a good workout, it was not that hard compaired to some others. i finished in 34:53 just in time. i felt fresh after this workout not sore or anything. after all that talk on thursday night and im the only one who did the full mission, not a good way to start off. i will call you on friday to tell you my times on phase ll.
Recommend you take the role of leader and call the rest of your boat crew to GET IN THE GAME.
