Week 5 is officially in the books. Beast Company kicked off the week with practice qualification on Monday, followed by record qualification with the M68 optics, executed while battling low temperatures and tough conditions. Despite the cold, your trainees persevered, staying focused and disciplined downrange. As we move forward, the focus shifts to HBL preparation and final send-off tasks. One team. One standard.

Beast Company wrapped up Week 4 of training locked in on precision and fundamentals. Trainees conducted Record BUIS Qualification, with an outstanding 91% qualification rate, followed by M68 CCO grouping and zeroing. They reinforced marksmanship fundamentals through confirmation of holds at 100m, 200m, and 300m, and continued advanced rifle marksmanship instruction to set the conditions for success on the M68 CCO Qualification Table next week.

Beast Company has officially closed out Week 3, and the trainees continue to prove what determination looks like. This week they pushed through the Hammer FTX, applying everything they’ve learned in a challenging, team-driven field environment. They refined their fundamentals during rifle group and zero, then put their skills to the test by confirming holds at 100m, 200m, and 300m—building the confidence they’ll rely on in future marksmanship events. They also conquered the Conditioning Obstacle Course, pushing their endurance, agility, and mental toughness. Every event this week demanded effort, discipline, and resilience, and Beast Company delivered.

Your Trainees have started their journey in the United States Army. This journey began with the First 100 yards on 14 NOV. Since then they have started to sharpen their skills both physically and mentally, accomplishing feats that many of them did not think were possible.
Over the next 18 weeks they will continue to learn, train, and sharpen these skills and many more.
