- The United States Army Pathfinder School trains personnel in the U.S. Army and its sister services to set up parachute drop zones and helicopter landing zones for airborne and air assault missions. The school's three-week course trains pathfinder candidates to navigate on foot; establish and operate a helicopter landing zone; establish and operate parachute drop zones (DZs), including computed air release system (CARP) DZs, ground marked release system (GMRS) DZs and Army verbally initiated release system (VIRS) DZs; conduct sling load operations; and provide air traffic control (ATC) and navigational assistance to rotary wing (RW) and fixed wing (FW) airborne operations. All training and airborne operations are conducted in accordance with FM 3-21.220 (Static Line Parachuting Techniques and Training) and FM 3-21.38 (Pathfinder Operations). In November 2020, a spokesman from the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) said the Army would close the Pathfinder School to save money and help the Army shift to large-scale combat operations. However, the Army National Guard Warrior Training Center Mobile Training Team at Fort Benning continue to offer Pathfinder classes for guard members. (en)
