Arriving at the track and unloading their equipment, the trainees get ready to gear up and begin the march.
The ruck march is part of the high demands physical testing to evaluate the trainees ability to preform the duties of the 19D MOS.
U.S. Army Cavalry Scouts act as the eyes and ears on the field, gathering information about enemy positions, vehicles, weapons, and activity. With the information they gather, commanders can make informed decisions about how to move troops and where and when to attack. Their scouting duties include conducting mounted and dismounted navigation, collecting data about tunnels and bridges, and serving as members of observation and listening posts. In addition to basic soldiering skills, cavalry scouts learn to secure and prepare ammunition on scout vehicles, load, clear and fire individual and crew-served weapons, perform navigation during combat, and how to collect data to classify routes, tunnels and bridges. And they train and supervise scout vehicle crew members.
This job is categorized as military occupational specialty (MOS) 19D. It's a job that used to be closed to women, due to the Army's past restrictions on women in combat. But the first female soldiers graduated from Army cavalry scout training in 2017, part of the Army's move toward integrating its combat and other units.
The 204th Regional Training Institute (RTI) conducts reclassification training for soldiers in the cavalry scout (19D) MOS.
