Everything you need to know about rucking before you start rucking. TC 31-1 covers the science of load carriage — how the body responds to sustained weighted movement, what determines your performance ceiling, and how to build it systematically. Includes pack fit and load distribution, the progressive loading protocol, injury prevention for the lower extremity, and the performance standards that matter at SFAS. This is the doctrine behind the ruck. The program that puts it into practice is TC 31-11.
Ideal for unit leaders seeking doctrinally sound and evidence based rucking programs.
