PATHFINDER SCHOOL
Find Your Way
in Army Pathfinder School
Army Pathfinders are specialists in navigating their way
through foreign terrain and establishing safe landing zones for Airborne and
Air Assault Soldiers or Army aircraft. Many times they are asked to parachute
into remote areas, navigate their way to unobstructed locations, then relay
those coordinates back to a command center.
The mission of the U.S. Army Pathfinder School is to
provide a three week course in which the student navigates dismounted,
establishes and operates a day/night helicopter landing zone, establishes and operates
a day/night CARP, GMRS, and Army VIRS parachute DZ, conducts slingload
operations, provides air traffic control and navigational assistance to RW and
FW airborne operations. Students participate in a three day FTX as a member of
a Pathfinder Team.
