 The soldiers of Charlie Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment had a blast during the first part of their training at Virginia's Fort A.P. Hill. They had a few blasts actually. The infantrymen used A.P. Hill's grenade assault course to practice using frag grenades in a number of different situations. It's good because you never know what kind of situation you're going to be in or what kind of cover you're going to be behind. And though they only used dummy rounds on the assault course, the trainers set up a live range where the soldiers then got the chance to try the real thing. I wanted to give them a chance to not only throw the practice grenades at specific targets so they could work on their accuracy, but also a chance to throw a live hand grenade so they can feel the concussion, actually feel what it's like to do it for real. It's just that adrenaline rush. You know you have a grip on it whenever you pull both of those safety off. You want to get out your hand as fast as you can. It was pretty good training. It's the best grenade range I've been to so far. The soldiers also spent some time at the range practicing with smoke grenades. In a short time, the soldiers say they've already gotten a lot out of their training at A.P. Hill. We have the whole run of the place. All the facilities belong to us. It really gives us freedom maneuver to execute the training plan that we want without any interferences from the outside. And it's just been fantastic.
