The Forge Package

*Starting with units who have commenced training in January 2023, we will no longer be serving Fort Jackson. We cannot fulfill orders for those units.*

The Forge Package is named after Fort Jackson's intensive, 96-hour, cumulative training exercise called "The Forge". This FTX (field training exercise) requires 45 miles of movement, mostly at night, with only five hours of sleep each day. The Blue Phase level trainees are placed in a patrol base as they experience an array of combat and logistical scenarios. It emphasizes battle drills, tactical operations, and numerous foot patrols. This is the package that you've been waiting your whole life to experience. It includes all of our most popular offerings including:
