Bayonet Training

Charging with lethal precision

The bayonet is a removable fighting knife that attaches to the muzzle of the rifle barrel. In close combat situations where a rifle may not be fired, the bayonet is a valuable, lethal weapon.  
 
On the bayonet assault course, recruits learn to attach and detach the bayonet from the rifle quickly and practice using the bayonet. They become masters of offensive and defensive fighting techniques.
