The Forge Package

The Forge Package is named after Fort Benning'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.
