Army soldiers finish grueling 10-day ranger courseStaff writer, with CNAA group of army soldiers has completed a grueling ranger field training session in the mountains of Taichung, where they endured rugged terrain, extreme fatigue and limited sleep while carrying heavy packs and equipment, the Military News Agency said yesterday. The group consisted of a dozen trainees when the 10-day, nine-night session began at the Army Special Forces Training Center in the rural Guguan (谷關) area in Taichung, with seven finishing the course, the report said. Soldiers participate in a ranger field training course along the Dajia River in Taichung in an undated photograph. Amid extreme exhaustion and sleep deprivation, trainees were ordered to launch a strike against hypothetical enemy forces, pushing soldiers to their breaking point. The training session, which has been in place for more than 60 years, is modeled after the US Ranger School.
