FORT BENNING, Ga. – An image from a recent Army video shows recruits starting training here to become cavalry scouts taking part in an event designed to instill teamwork and attention to detail on their first day of training. Called the "Thunder Run," the event replaces the traditional "shark attack" in which drill sergeants swarmed newly arrived trainees and shouted orders and belittling comments to gain immediate compliance. The 194th Armored Brigade, which trains the Army's armor crewmen and cavalry scouts, adopted the Thunder Run several months ago as a replacement for the shark attack, which had come to be viewed as an outmoded vestige of the Vietnam-era military draft.
