    Last pathfinder unit in the Army? Damn things have changed. We had a squad of pathfinders in every HQ company in every infantry battalion in my division when I was in. I guess they just use drones now or what? Crazy.

      Apparently they still have 3 pathfinder schools… But just have a handful of pathfinder qualified in units that need them. Not sure how 2-5 people is enough to secure airfields out in the middle of nowhere… But I’m sure the Army knows exactly what their doing.

      Right? Oh…
