Do special operations soldiers have a 'how to move silently' kind of training? - Quora

I spent a year at Infantry School and had many courses of instruction but never one on how to move silently. I learned that long before I enlisted. I studied writings about American Indian ways and practiced them as I wandered in the woods near my home. Basically, I learned to lead with my toe to slide leaves and twigs aside before placing weight on the foot. When placing weight on the foot to start at the outside and roll the foot until it was flat. Believe it or not, it worked surprisingly well. However, the "bull in a china shop" technique recommended here, I suppose, could work too under the right conditions.
