Air Assault School • Zero Day Obstacle Course

Soldiers and Airman experience the grueling "zero" day of two week Air Assault training at Camp Rilea, Oregon. Candidates are required to overcome 9 obstacles, some of which are mandatory in order to continue with the rest of training. Filmed on June 2, 2015.
Soldiers are not considered “Air Assault Students” until after successful completion of Zero, the first day of the course, which requires students to complete an obstacle course and two-mile run.
Prior to the obstacle course, students will conduct a two-mile run. Students must complete the run in under 18:00 minutes.
The obstacle course is designed to assess a student’s upper body strength, agility, endurance, confidence, and ability to perform at heights without displaying fear or distress. This test is critical in determining if a student will be able to complete Air Assault School without becoming a safety risk to themselves, instructors, or other students during the tough and demanding training events conducted throughout the course.
There are nine total obstacles. There are two obstacles that are considered mandatory, and failing one of the two will result in being dropped from the course. The other seven are minor obstacles, and the Air Assault prospect is allowed to fail one of the seven and still continue. This means that failing two of the minor obstacles will result in being dropped from the course.
