3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment GO LIVE

During the second week of Basic Combat Training, new Soldiers move from the classroom to the field, encountering some of their first physical challenges. The first three weeks of BCT are referred to as "Red Phase," and are considered to be the most difficult phase of training.

Still in the Red Phase, Soldiers in training with 3rd Battalion, 34th Infantry Regiment visit the ranges at

Fort Jackson and practice for the first time firing live ammo in their M4 carbines. Soldiers must learn breathing techniques, stance and mechanics before they are allowed to fire a single round.
