Looks like East Range at Schofield Barracks. That place brings back memories. It is a tough Land Navigation Course from doing it when I was back there. Panama's Jungle Operations Training Center was much worse trying to navigate through triple canopy jungle. Hey East Range was just as tough but more enjoyable than running into snakes, African Killer bees, and the notorious Black Palm trees in Panama.

@@STOKERMATIC= I remember back in the mid 90s a young private from an infantry battalion doing land nav in East Range doing preparation for EIB went missing. The entire battalion and the division went looking for this kid. After about a month some local hikers found him down stream to where the "Tunnels" would be at. Yes East Range is a dangerous place to be by yourself. I used to ruck march starting from the Leilehua Golf Course to the Air Assault School and LFC back with no problems. That road was up and down and especially the heat it can kick your ass on a speed march.
