The Army Leadership Reaction Course gives a problem to a group and has them solve it in ten minutes or more depending on the problem. The problems usually involve moving something or someone across an obstacle:
Move a drum across a stream
Move an unconscious pilot across stream on a cable
Move an ammo box through a pipe and across a water obstacle
Here are some photos of soldiers in my company attempting those obstacles.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
