FORT MOORE HAS CANCELLED THE ARMY'S PATHFINDER SCHOOL IN 2020. THEREFORE THIS BOOK IS USEFUL, BUT NOT APPLICABLE ANYMORE.

HOWEVER, THE FORT CAMPBELL KY PATHFINDER SCHOOL IS STILL ACTIVE AND THEIR COURSE MATERIAL IS ON THIS WEBSITE - SEE PATHFINDER - FORT CAMPBELL.

UPDATED Jan 19

Has the Pathfinder School Material Study Packet, including all handouts.  Helps you get ready for passing the Pre-Test and getting ahead for the course at Fort Benning.

Has THE PATHFINDER PRE-TEST AND ANSWERS

THIS PARAGRAPH BELOW IS AN EXACT REPRODUCTION FROM THE FT. BENNING PATHFINDER COURSE:

1. Pathfinder Course Overview:
   1. The course is three weeks long and is comprised of a Nomenclature Exam, Sling Load Written Exam, Sling Load Hands-On Test, Helicopter Landing Zone Test, Drop Zone Written Test and a graded FTX.
   1. Students should study the Sling Load Nomenclature prior to attending the course. The Nomenclature Exam will be on Day 2 of the course. If a student scores an 80 or above, he or she will be re-entry qualified and has three attempts to pass the Sling Load Hands-On Exam (test, re-test, and re-entry test). Students scoring below 80 on the Nomenclature Exam will only have two attempts during the Sling Load Hands-On Exam (test and re-test).
   2. Students should memorize the Sling load Deficiency Sheet and the Aircraft Limitations prior to attending the course. The Aircraft Limitations can be found  in the Course Study Guide , pages 11-19. 

ALL OF THIS STUFF IS IN THIS BOOK!!!!

This book is mini size (half the size of a regular sheet of paper) - A popular size to carry anywhere (briefcase, pocket, purse) but the print is large enough for easy reading.  It has coil binding allowing for easy page turning without jamming.

(A BIG size (the size of a regular sheet of paper) is also available on this website)

The covers are laminated for weather protection with black and white inside printing.
