RPs have multiple facets to their jobs. One of those jobs is to be the personal protection detail for the Chaplain when in a combat zone. Below are some pictures from our training. They used live rounds and in the scenarios, used paint-ball ammunition . The simulation of the real-life exercise was an adrenaline-fueled experience that put the severity of the training into perspective.
