Army Special Forces To Fight in ‘Realistic’ Guerrilla War Exercise Across Rural North And South Carolina

Army Special Forces candidates will fight in a “realistic” guerrilla war across counties in rural North and South Carolina later this month, with young soldiers battling seasoned “freedom fighters,” the U.S. Army John F.

The training exercise is known as “Robin Sage” after Col. Jerry Michael Sage, an Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative who was captured by the Nazis and attempted to escape more than 15 times before succeeding. The exercise has been conducted since 1974.

It serves as a “final test for soldiers in the Special Forces Qualification Course and has been the litmus test for Soldiers striving to earn the Green Beret for more than 50 years” officials said on Facebook.

This year, the “unconventional warfare exercise” will be held between Jan. 22 and Feb. 4 with students from the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg.

It will see soldiers placed in an “environment of political instability characterized by armed conflict” known as “Pineland” where they will need to analyze and solve problems to meet the challenges of this “real-world” training.

In an effort to be as realistic as possible, the exercise will include the sounds of gunfire and flares.
