The Benning Phase: Camp Darby
During the next 15 days, Ranger trainees will be at Camp Darby. The Camp Darby portion of Ranger School focuses on patrolling techniques and execution of squad combat operations.
Students will get instruction in patrolling fundamentals, mission-planning principles and field reconnaissance. They’ll also negotiate the Darby Queen Obstacle Course.
To complete this phase successfully, Ranger students will have to prove their leadership skills and patrolling expertise through a series of training operations.
