U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Patrick Hartung, Airborne and Ranger Training Brigade command sergeant major, and William Walker, Training Support Center contract lead, discuss the development of the Bayonet Assault Course in interviews recorded at Fort Benning, Georgia, April 21 and Feb. 17, 2026, respectively. The quarter-mile course is a recent addition to the U.S. Army Ranger Course and was designed to rapidly instill grit and violence of action, preparing Rangers to close with and destroy the enemy in contested environments where modern technology may fail.
