In a 28-training-day course at Fort Leonard Wood sapper students learn demolition, knot-tying, rappelling, urban combat tactics, and they also brush-up their hand-to-hand combat techniques. The training — done straight through without a day off — is so physically demanding that most students will lose at least 10 pounds over the four weeks.
