 The New York Army National Guard, 1st of the 69th, fighting Irish infantry battalion conducted a six-mile rough march along the East River of Manhattan during the early morning hours of May 16, 2021. Approximately 30 soldiers from the battalion participated in the march, which have been on hold since last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. I think the remote learning as medics helps a lot because it's easy to to put on classes and teach and learn, get like a brain sweat in, but in terms of actually soldiering and coming in doing army style PT or just army things, the online training definitely puts a hit on that. The battalion is preparing for their annual training in which they will conduct a 12-mile rough march.
