The school is set in Patagonia\u2019s rough terrain and is intended to push students to their physical and mental limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNothing compared to the level of mountaineering we would endure during this course,\u201d the 919th SOW airman said in the statement. \u201cThey took what I had previously considered intense hiking and went vertical. While I had some experience, this school introduced an entirely new element: multi-pitch rock climbing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The air commandos\u2019 curriculum centered around high-altitude operations, cold-weather survival and mountainous landscape movements, per the release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the course of several weeks, the airmen mastered advanced rock climbing, rope safety techniques and the use of single-rope bridges to cross mountain rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The airmen successfully trained alongside members of the Argentine military, bolstering the relationship between the U.S. and Argentina and leading to one airmen earning the votes of their classmates for the \u201cBest Teammate Award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both air commandos also completed the school\u2019s instructor course. The Argentine military invited the airmen to return as guest instructors for future courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy mastering this course and becoming instructors alongside our Argentinean partners, these airmen are writing the next chapter of that legacy \u2014 tackling challenges that haven\u2019t been touched by U.S. forces in decades,\u201d Col. Zak Blom, 492nd SOW commander, said in the release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the course completion was the first of its kind in Air Force history, it also marked the first time since 2006 that any U.S. military personnel participated in the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over several weeks, the airmen mastered advanced rock climbing, rope
