Garry Owen, 1958

CHARGING A DUMMY representing the enemy during the intense testing, Sgt. Roger G. Cee of Salt Lake City, Utah, routs the "opponent" out of his foxhole. The sergeant tossed two grenades at the site before charging the make-believe enemy.

Members of the 1st Battle Group, 7th Cavalry Regiment, better known as the Garry Owen, recently underwent a unique test in the hills of Korea. The test, designed to serve as a gauge of each member's physical and mental power and stamina, was in the form of a military stakes race - the first ever held by troops in Korea. Included were a long list of trials including vertical rope climbing and log walking, manual tests of ability to assemble weapons, as well as marksmanship tests. [cg]
