Physical training, or PT refers to the exercise regimen undertaken by United Nations Space Command military personnel to help develop their bodies for the extreme physical demands of combat.[1]
History
The Harvest militia underwent physical training for at least two weeks before commencing live-fire training exercises. Their exercises typically included ten-kilometer runs which were later augmented with twenty-five-kilogram rucksacks.[1]
Chant
The following marching chant, called the UNSC Marine Cadence, was recited by the recruits of first and second platoons on their runs:
“ | When I die please bury me deep! Place an MA5 down by my feet! |
” |
