DESCRIPTION
Soldiers climb the net on the high end of the obstacle. They go over or
between the logs and climb down the ladder, they go across the log walkway
and climb down the net to the ground. They jump over the log cross member
and go to the next station.
Soldiers negotiate obstacle by running and stepping in the tires one foot at a
time, alternating every other foot.
Soldiers mount the low log and jump onto the next log. They grasp over the
top of the log with both arms, keeping the belly area in contact with the log.
They swing their legs over the log and go to the next log in the same manner.
From the last log they lower themselves to the ground.
Soldiers jump from one log to another until all logs are negotiated.
Soldiers walk up one inclined log and down the one on the other side of the
ground.
Soldiers step up on a log and walk or run along it, keeping their balance.
Soldiers may vault, jump or climb over the log. They must be warned that it is
not stationary. Soldiers must not roll or rock the log while others are
negotiating the obstacle.
Soldiers mount the lower log and then grasp two rungs of the ladder and
swing themselves into the air. They negotiate the length of the ladder by
releasing one hand at a time and swinging forward, grasping a more distant
rung each time.
Soldiers step on the lower log and assume the prone position on the
horizontal logs. They crawl over the logs to the opposite end of the obstacle.
Soldiers approach the underside of the wall, jump and grasp the top, and pull
themselves up and over. They slide or jump down the incline to the ground.
Soldiers step over each log, alternating their lead foot or using the same
ones.
Soldiers climb the reverse climb and go down the other side to the ground.
Soldiers approach the obstacle from the ladder side. Climb the ladder to the
platform and drop to the ground.
Soldiers step up on log and balance themselves as they walk the length of the
obstacle.
Soldiers step over each X in the same line.
Soldiers move forward under the wire on their bellies to the end of the
obstacle. The direction of negotiating the crawl should be reversed from time
to time.
Soldiers gain momentum with a short run, grasp the rope, and swing their
bodies forward to the top of the cross member. They release the rope while
standing on the wall and jump to the ground.
Soldiers vault over the logs, using one or both hands.
Soldiers approach the wall and pulls himself up to the top and over to the
other side.
Soldiers crawl on stomach through trench under the barbed wire. Only one
trench is necessary.
Soldiers move from one end of the obstacle to the other by weaving their
bodies under one bar and over the next.
Soldiers climb the inclined ladder to the vertical ladder. They go to the top of
the vertical ladder, then down the other side to the ground.
Soldiers mount the low log and jump onto the high log. They grasp over the
top of the log with both arms, keeping the belly area in contact with it. They
swing their legs over the log and lower themselves to the ground.
