The proposed exercise by the first lieutenant was Baroz the following: access as far as possible in a tunnel filled with rubble and using only the basic material of the set of sections. Two sections were participating in the exercise (sections Groux and Kohler), attacking each tunnel a different side.
The challenge was great and the men were the measure. Lot of commitment, this after an already busy day at work!

Sergeant Jaccard heads the excavation of the tunnel section Groux. The progress is good, almost two meters were cleared. 
It uses a chainsaw to attack the pieces of wood that impede the path. 
should be raising the roof of the tunnel in order to generate large blocks on which it rests. Where section Kohler has used lifting bags, men's section Groux directly attack the case using a simple lever. 
Huge blocks can then be sorites tunnel. They still need to move aside so as not to hinder maneuvers. 
The increase in the tunnel is slow, but pays off: With more than two meters have been cleared by the section Groux.
