Forged in Hardship : Preparing the Mind and Body for Elite Infantry Selection
Overview
I joined the Parachute Regiment at sixteen and spent almost thirty years in uniform, first with the Paras and later in Special Forces. In that time I saw a great many young men turn up for selection who were keen enough, but simply not ready, and most of them went home.
This book is about four regiments I know well: the Paras, the Royal Marine Commandos, the 75th Ranger Regiment and the French Foreign Legion. It covers what their selection really asks of you, how to prepare your mind for it, and how to train your body properly, from running and load carriage to swimming and fieldcraft. It finishes with a 26-week program and what to expect in the last week before the start line.
Nothing guarantees a pass, but if you put in the work, you will arrive as ready as you can be.
