The focus has returned to light infantry operations and jungle warfare....


"Now, the focus has returned to light infantry operations and jungle warfare" ---Command Sgt. Maj. Ray Devens
The 25th Infantry Division "Jungle Fighters" are back.

I was once really worried about the direction the Army was going.  Quite honestly I thought they were hopelessly lost.

I was wrong.

It seems that a few of them have found their true North and are getting ready for the future.  Read the Army Times article on whats being done to setup that Jungle School (if you don't have a subscription just watch the advertising and they let you through) here.  Well worth your time and quite encouraging.

Sidenote:  I wonder how much gear is going to have to be replaced because it isn't suited to the jungle environment. I'm also curious as to how Hawaii can provide the terrain for a real deal jungle school.  Its been awhile but I don't remember triple canopy terrain anywhere on that place.
