Garry Owen, 1958

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]
