Gwen

15-12-9 reps of:

Clean and Jerk

Touch and go at floor only. Even a re-grip off the floor is a foul. No dumping. Use same load for each set. Rest as needed between sets.

Each foul = 25 Burpees

Post loads to comments.

**Unsolicited Advice Warning**

This is one of those workouts that looks a lot easier than it is. Your forearms and shoulders will be screaming. Not being able to regrip on the floor adds a whole new level of pain and doing 25 burpees for every foul just adds insult to injury. A regrip in the hang or while in the clean catch position is authorized.

Thursday 6/11/09

For time.

Run 5k

Meet in front of Arvin at 0530. Route is to Lee gate and back. Use this run to get your legs back.

Saturday 6/6/09 - Sunday 6/7/09

Rest Days.

Remember that Saturday is the 65th Anniversary of D-Day. For those who want to do a workout in honor of that, you can try OPERATION OVERLORD Full Mission Profile from 4/17/09.

Friday 6/5/09

For the morning crew, if you are interested, we will meet out at Barth Hall, Camp Buckner 0630. Otherwise, I have put the appropriate distances for each event.

Full Mission Profile (Adapted from a mission found on Brass Ring Fitness)

Situation: The United States has identified opium trafficking in Afghanistan — the source of more than 90 percent of the world’s heroin supplies — as a primary target in the stepped-up battle against the Taliban insurgency. According to the recent United Nations survey, 98 percent of Afghanistan’s opium comes from seven provinces in the southwest, with no opium at all produced in half of the country’s 34 provinces. The bulk of the NATO troops operating in the southwest come from the United States, Britain, Canada and Denmark. Helmand Province in the southwest, is the heartland of the opium trade and one of the most intensive battlefields of the insurgency. The southern districts of Helmand Province border with Pakistan.

Mission Objective: Destroy with high explosives known drug and weapon cache prior to meeting between drug lords and Taliban leaders.

Insertion: Insert upstream in Helmand River under the cover of night and swim to patrol point.Patrol to objective through rugged terrain. Contact with small bands of enemy fighters is expected.

Actions at the Objective: Overrun and defeat small guard element. Document with photo and video all weapons and drugs. Destroy all weapons and drugs with high explosive charges.

Extraction: Patrol to helo LZ through rugged terrain. Contact with small bands of enemy fighters is expected. Helo extract at precise time required due to impending explosion and notification of presence.

Escape and Evasion: In the case of a missed helo pickup, proceed on E&E south over the border into Pakistan and make radio communications for alternate pick up.

Rules of Engagement: Lethal force is authorized. Due to the time of the raid and the need to move light and fast, no prisoners will be taken.

Timeline: Due to the volatile nature of this operation, speed is essential. Therefore, from insertion to extraction the mission window is 1 hour. After that time it will be impossible to safely bring in a helo for pick up and you will have to go on E&E.
