Mogadishu Mile: A ruck to remember

U.S. Air Force Col. Christopher Ireland, 352nd Special Operations Group commander, speaks to Airmen after the Mogadishu Mile 5km ruck march Oct. 3, 2013, at RAF Mildenhall, England. The Battle of Mogadishu was supposed to be a “down and back” operation, but it led to American casualties when special operations forces came under fire.
