Bad Tolz BN run standards?
Guys, my mind is a bit foggy but wasn't the 1/10th standard at Bad Tolz, 6 miles in 50 minutes? I'm getting myself back into my old Scuba fitness self since I retired. I'm currently running 5k in 27-28 minutes.

The only running standard(s) we had when I was there were the quarterly run up and down the Blomberg (no set time) and the APFT two mile run IAW the Army scoring system for age groupings - my best time was 11:09 for two miles in combat boots and OG-107 fatigues.

Trojan Warrior Test
That 6 miles in 50 mins was the old Trojan Warrior time standard. When we did the APFT, qualified with rifle and pistol, 100 question written exam and a 10 km run in one day. Then the 3 days of treking across the country side doing common skills testing. I think it was 15-20k between points and did 2 points per day.

RE: Trojan Warrior Test
We used to do something similar in the 7th whenever we came off of a support cycle and went into a 'go' cycle. The usual drill was a week long and consisted of: - Team Alert
- Isolation/Pre-Mission Prep/PT Test
- Parachute Infil
- Tactical Movement to conduct link-up w/G's
- Skills testing (common and MOS specific; hands on and written)
- Wpns qual + live fires (IADs/mortars)
I don't remember what they were called; Group ran them and we referred to them as 'Slingshots'.

csquare,
Thanks, that's what I thought is was. I remember that year we did the Trojan Warrior, I had just left 012 we were on and went to 015. About 75 miles in 3 days bouncing across Bavaria. 12 miles straight line between points. I had forgotten about the written test. Working up to my first marathon here.

Trojan?
Trojan test, Sparten Warrior, Stress test...
Seems like every iteration had a new twist. I remember one version in 86 that ended at the range. We had Dillon as TL, Reiman as TS, Busted our asses for the ruck and stopped at a GastStadte for lunch and a bier. By the time we got back under the rucks everyone's muscles had tightened up and we could barely make the last 3Km to the range.

Run? When I was there we skied in the winter and humped in the summer.
Of course that was just after the Franco-Prussian War.
