It seems that there is a major focus on SF training through rucking. Is this not a common thing in the Army? It seems to me that if you are active duty infantry you should already know how to hold your own on a ruck if you are think about SF. When I was in the Corps and we were doing workups we did at least one 12mi or more forced march a week. Foot movements of 6mi or more with full load were a daily occurence when on a field op. Of course my BN SgtMaj was there when Rome was sacked so that might have had something to do with it...
