45 Commando's Falklands Yomp.


A forced march of 50 miles and upon completion you go into action against enemy forces....

How many forces could do it today?

Could you say confidently that a US Marine Corps or US Army unit could?  Quite honestly I'd lay money on the Rangers being able to get it done....maybe a battalion or two at Camp Pendleton or 29 Palms (if they have a balls busting CO that doesn't give a rats ass about political correctness)....perhaps the the 82nd....but I bet it isn't many.

I wonder.
