Where one ' s endurance is pushed to the max the Arm " ' aim " ' " *; ' RECONDO! by Roberto Galver, ' 81 The scene is a 90 fool sheer face of rock. Above there are some stirrings, then silence. The silence is broken with an " On repel! " followed by a, " On belay! " The rope goes taut as someone descends. This is repelling, one small segment of Reconnaissance Commando training, or RECONDO. Have you ever seen a RECONDO trained troop? You can ' t miss him. He ' s the guy with the badge on his chest. You know, the green and gold one that is shaped like an arrowhead. Notice how proudly he wears that badge. Notice how he has that look of a person who is confident in himself. Some people call it conceit, but it ' s not. Truth is he has completed one of the most demanding programs offered by the United States Air Force Academy — RECONDO. This story is about everyone who has ever gone through and completed the RECONDO course. The course is a grueling three weeks spent at Camp Red Devil, Fort Carson, Colorado. This is the home of the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy of the Army at Fort Carson. The program is run entirely by Army NCOs. These men are some of the finest Living with nature is a challenge. Weapons is a big part of RECONDO. Jjgff^^ ' 74 Recondo
