Esprit commando, ça passe ou ça casse.

Hardening begins where comfort ends. For these young recruits of the 35th Infantry Regiment (35emerigimentdinfanterie-o56), learning the infantryman's trade isn't just about textbooks, but about the battlefield. Fatigue, cold, and the fear of heights aren't mere obstacles, but training tools. On the obstacle course and during rappelling, there's no room for error. Tactical stretcher carrying, climbing, and the final march push their bodies beyond exhaustion, forcing them to remain focused to maintain the group's pace despite the pressure of the clock. It's in these key moments that essential combat reflexes are forged. Cohesion can't be decreed; it's earned through sweat and shared hardship. At the end of the effort, individual differences fade away, giving way to a united unit. The "Gaillards" of the 35th emerged transformed, accustomed to hardship and ready to face, together, the most demanding infantry missions. 00:00:00 - Intro: Commando training course at the 35th Infantry Regiment 00:01:27 - Safety instructions before the obstacle course 00:02:41 - Timed run on the obstacle course 00:03:44 - Rappelling: managing the fear of heights 00:05:23 - Lunch break before the water challenges 00:06:06 - Jungle-style stretcher carrying and teamwork 00:09:43 - Section cohesion after the stretcher carrying exercise 00:10:23 - Climbing, pushing personal limits, and building group confidence 00:12:25 - Final C4 exercise and water crossings 00:15:11 - 8 km commando march with a pack 00:17:03 - End of the course and team-building review 00:18:00 - Handout of the commando badge 00:18:40 - Pride, pushing beyond limits, and final words 00:19:30 - "We must stay on the right track!"
