We all know that military forces around the world require their troops to go through strenuous physical training
What some of you might not know is just how?
Brutal some of this training can get far Beyond doing a bunch of push-ups running a few miles or hitting some targets at the range
some military training
Pushes the limits of what trainees can do physically and mentally as you'll see in [some] cases this training can come dangerously close to
Killing those who undertake it
Taiwanese Marines you've probably endured the pain and discomfort of walking across stones and gravel in your bare feet
Imagine crawling across that surface on your bare skin not too bad
Okay, make the rocks fist size and throw in some Sharp Coral
Just for good measure now crawl across that 50 meters without using your arms
And you have one of the most brutal drills undertaken by the taiwanese marines
[North] [Koreans] Storm [Corps]
Not a lot is known about the secretive North Korean state that said every now and then
defectors provided a glimpse
And do what goes on on the other side of the border?
Reportedly a specially selected group of soldiers make up North Korea's Elite storm core part of their training [these] soldiers
Repeatedly punched trees and jagged tin cans until their hands are bleeding and oozing puss
before finishing
they move on to punching a pile of salt which must feel you know real good on their bleeding hands this all supposedly gives the
men a physical and psychological Edge in combat
Philippines special operations group many of us know how hard it can be to accomplish simple tasks when we're drunk
Imagine enduring a range of military drills while being plastered troops of the philippine special operations group
Do just that they get absolutely
Wasted in and undergo a number of drills to weed out the trainees who don't have the right personality?
Now before you start thinking that sounds fantastic
Just think about how brutal an 18 mile swim shooting practice and a six mile jog would be while suffering the spins
South Korean special Forces despite being over for more than 20 years you could say that the South Korean army
The term cold war a whole new meaning that's because they undertake some rather brutal training in the snow now
Before you picture a bunch of troops having a snowball fight
Stop. these troops strip down to their pants and undertake a variety of exercises in Sub-Zero temperatures
strength and combat training can be tough enough
But now throw in some snow and temperatures as low as negative 30 degrees Celsius and things go from hard to brutal pretty quick
People's liberation Army of China [want] to build trust and teamwork among your [co-workers]
[then] the pla has a drill for you groups of several Soldiers stand in a circle around a pit
Someone lights the fuse and the group precedes to pass the explosive around in. What is surely the most?
dangerous game [of] Hot [Potato] ever devised
After counting down the last soldier to get the explosive throws it in the pit and everyone dies away before it explodes. bye bye fingers
U.S. Marine snipers being a sniper requires a steady hand great reflexes and a lot of
patience
Apparently it also requires a deadened sense of smell that's because us Marine snipers must prepare themselves and their camouflage suits known as Ghillie suits
By soaking in a giant pond of stagnant water and rotting vegetation
repeatedly once you're nice and wet [they] then get to roll around in the dirt over and over again all of this is necessary to
Season the Ghillie suit and also acts as great psychological training for the sniper
Navy seals seal training is notoriously hard and much of it is built around seeing just how much strength and endurance recruits
actually have
However one especially brutal training that recruits undergo is drown proofing in a pool this involves having your hands and feet bound while you perform
various tasks in the water the drill teaches breathing control as well as forcing potential seals to learn to control fear and panic which can
Set in during such a situation not down there instructors also
Attack trainees in the water to add that extra level of intensity you know because that wasn't hard enough
Belarus Red Berets one drill for Soldiers who want to join belarus as red Berets?
Involves running an obstacle course [only] this isn't your stAndard military
obstacle course picture all the usual walls Beams tires and obstacles found in a usual course
but add a little extra in this case that little extra is a lot of fire a lot of smoke [gun] fire and
Instructors trying to knock you off track at every turn. It's an obstacle course from hell, and we think it demonstrates
Why only 10% of recruits make it through training for this elite force?
the Indonesian Army on the surface
There's nothing that brutal sanding about Indonesia's military training recruits run an obstacle course and crawl through the mud while instructor, shoot guns
There's just one big difference the instructors shoot their assault rifles at the ground just inches from the Koala recruits using live ammunition
Sure, it gets the recruit the experience of having live rounds fired near them
But one slip-up by an instructor and things can go from brutally dangerous to death pretty quickly the russian special forces
training can be dangerous for recruits and instructors know that realistic training can make the difference when the time comes [that]
Said One drill the Russian special Forces utilize is a bit extreme
recruits wearing body armor are
intentionally shot in the chest by their instructor the drill is meant to prepare recruits for potentially being shot and [to] teach them how to
React to us it sounds over-the-top, and more than most of us could probably handle alright folks, so which one of these training
Do you think you could make it through?
I know one of you is going to be in the comments all of
OH MAN this isn't so bad. I could make it, but also while you're here
