Evaluation of Calorie Requirements for Ranger Training at Fort Benning, Georgia

Abstract

In response to a request to evaluate the requirement for an increased ration allowance for trainees by the Ranger Department, United States Army, a study was conducted throughout one training cycle on the men enrolled in the course. Body weights, skinfold thicknesses, selected body circumferences, and urinary chemistry values were measured several times from pretraining until graduation. Treadmill performance tests were conducted, blood samples were obtained for analysis, and additional anthropometric parameters were measured pre and post training.
