Is the Bayonet Assault Course on Bragg still servicable?

Coming to Bragg in Jan for my PSG time. Need to teach em what makes the green grass grow.

I'm not sure what Fort Bragg's bayonet course has to do with fertilizer.

As of a year ago, yes; when I was XO, my Company went through the course in 2014. Kill!

Yes, call the Fort Sill Range Control for its operability.
It's near the Longstreet Road Access Point, on the corner of Macridge Rd and Longstreet Rd.
I haven't seen too many units use it when I was there; in the past 20 years, but it's there. Drove by it coming on post and going home everyday when I was stationed there.

Thank you all for the help. Glad some units are still doing it. While it's not high on the METL it teaches Violence of Action better than any other excersice, something we are sorely missing as an Army after the past 7 years of hearts and minds.

When I was reassigned in 3/13,It was no longer being taught when I was a supply tech/armorer in B 1/50 IN OSUT. It was when I started working there 8/10 but was being phased out. I turned all the bayonets in in 2011. May have changed since.
