Fan dance (exercise)
(重定向自Fan Dance)
The Fan Dance is part of the Fitness and Navigation phase of the selection process for the UK's Special Forces, as well as 16 Air Asault Brigade's Pathfinder Platoon. In the past it was used as a test on P Company during the Brecon Beacons phase and is still used as part of the Platoon Sergeant's Senior's Course at the Infantry Battle School, Brecon, Wales. The Fan Dance is a 24 kilometres (15 mi) load bearing march (or in military parlance, a Tactical Advance to Battle (TAB)) that typically takes place at the end of the first week of the selection course. It is used as the first major indicator of whether a candidate has the physical and mental aptitude to complete the selection course.
