What is the smallest unit, remotist location, long term hardship military assignement?

Being on the other side of the Iron Curtain.

I didn't finish it but I would have to say attending Navy Nuclear Power Training Command... you cannot get anymore intense with a 13, 16, or 24 week course your first phase, 26 weeks your second, 26 your third phase, and then be put to the test and be very rigid and elite in the Fleet... I made it through the first phase (mine was 16 weeks), but come the second phase, my health got to me - service connected migraines; made me a big risk to the program... During that second phase, you are doing 2 college courses every two weeks (complete courses, mind you)... Actual duty station wise, I'd say recruiting is probably one of the toughest (I didn't forget what SEALs go through or anything). You have a 3 year assignment in areas in the states to meet recruiting efforts - Philadelphia's recruiting district is probably one of the worst and toughest.

The most remote AND smallest unit location I've ever been assigned to was our 7-man team at Katamaya Air Base, working directly with the Egyptian Air Force. We were assigned to the 1st SWTG(A)USAJFKSWC (Bragg), with duty from the Office of Military Cooperation / Aviation (OMC/AV), US Embassy, Cairo, Egypt. The location is about halfway between Cairo and Suez City. The entire compound was a fuzz bigger than one acre! (see pic) This was my duty location for 15-months! We were carrying Diplomatic passports and running Diplomatic plates on our NIJ III protected vehicles. The State Department classified the driving hazard as one of it's Top 5 most hazardous postings in the world!

LORSTA Attu Island, AK was never stationed there, but did maintenance out of ISC Ketchikan

Tiny, but not lonely, the 30 of us had a Brit RMP company, 6 French Gendarmes, and a Soviet Motor Rifle Regiment as neighbors.

How many of you stopped by to visit us on your way elsewhere?

Hill 754 S. Korea. A commo center, maybe had 12 people on it.

A grunt in the rear?
