Tunnel warfare has been important since before WWII. It's obvious that the military would spend resources on training for it. One of my buddies was a tunnel rat during the Vietnam war. His team had to develop tactics from scratch.
My buddy had a lot of stories. He was always very upbeat and would tell his stories in a jocular mode. He didn't drink very much, but one night he came over to my house totally plastered. He unloaded for hours.
Btw, my buddy could tell if I had eaten Thai, Vietnamese, or Korean food within the last 48 hours. He told me that tunnel rats never used any type of soap or deodorant when they bathed.
This caught my eye. I served from 95-05. Had the distinct pleasure of training with numerous spec-ops groups from all branches as well as government agencies. I’ve never seen nor heard of “tunnel training” before. Interesting. Wonder if this could be related to DUMB operations?
My whole time in the Marines I never knew anyone that did tunnel training. As a 5711 I gassed SeALS, Recon, and other special ops and do not remember any thing like this. Interesting.

I use baking soda and water to bathe
Yeah but would you smell him coming?

So many tunnel rats, so little time.
Save those kids Mr President!
That was my first instinct was the kids in tunnels.
