Having spent several years of my military career assigned as an Intelligence Officer to the 720th Special Tactics Group and a couple of its subordinate squadrons, it makes me proud to hear that 18 of our Special Tactics Airmen are conducting a 812-mile memorial ruck march from Texas to Florida. They begin on 16 October, marching in three-man teams with each team walking about 144 miles carrying 50-pound rucksacks and a commemorative baton engraved with a fallen Special Tactics Airman’s name.
Track their progress on the AFSOC blog hosted by Maj Kristi Beckman.
