Near Bad Tolz, Germany, January 11, 1967: Special troops from Company B, on skis and carrying packs, step carefully over barbed wire as they start out on a long winter-training trek. The troops' mission was to drag a 50-pound bomb on a sled in darkness to a rendezvous point about 40 miles away. They were then to hide out in the forest for three days before returning.
