Army to toughen basic training

The Army plans to make combat training tougher than it's been in 30 years. A pilot program, aimed at improving strength and endurance, will include running an obstacle course in full combat gear.

                  Seeing Fit

The Army needs troops to commit
To be combat ready and fit;
So it'll toughen up training
With more running and straining
For soldiers to show their true grit.
