Econ major CDT Patrick Sutherland graduated from the US Army’s Sapper Leader Course on Friday July 27. Pat completed 28 days of training on a myriad of combat engineer tasks to include conventional and expedient demolitions, waterborne operations, air operations, mountaineering, and breaching. The course culminates in an intense 12-day field training exercise focused on small unit operations and all aspects of mobility, counter-mobility, and survivability.
