These exercises have taken members over the Chattahoochee River's white water, across the face of Mt. Yonah, and through swamps of Florida in their quest of adven- ture and preparedness. For the second consecutive year, the rangers staged an airborne assault, flying from Dobbins Air Force base in Marietta to Eglin Air Force base in Florida aboard Air Force C-7A aircraft. There the Rang- ers parachuted into enemy territory and conducted exercises in preparation for a mock hostage snatch. During the year the Rangers partici- pated in charitable runs for the Muscular Dystrophy and Cystic Fibrosis Founda- tions. By running in uniform and in forma- tion, they bouyed the spirits of all partici- pating, as well as contributing to a worthy cause.
