The last of the students from the inaugural class of the Fort Bragg Air Assault School came and conquered as they accomplished the final challenge of the 10-day course with a 12-mile foot march to be completed in three hours or less, as well as a final packing list inspection to graduate Oct. 3. Out of the 74 students who originally began, only 34 soldiers and airmen graduated from Fort Bragg's first Air Assault Course, earning the coveted Air Assault Badge. ( Army photo by Spc. Paul A.
