3 FORT POLK, La. – The 1st Battalion (Airborne), 509th Infantry Regiment (Geronimo) braved wet, frigid conditions during the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 23 to run the Yarborough Mile. Since arriving at the Joint Readiness Training Center in 1993, the unit has executed the 3.1 mile course nearly 60 times in the austere conditions of Fort Polk’s swamp land, but this running marked a first.
Geronimo invited 90 leaders from throughout Operations Group to join teams and assault the Yarborough Mile together. Fourteen platoon-size teams comprised of observer coach/trainers and Geronimos blended together with a focus on strengthening teamwork, cooperation and relationships. The outcome achieved its purpose.
