BANYUWANGI--Sepuluh prajurit Marinir Amerika yang disebut United States Marine Corps (USMC) terpaksa harus dievakuasi akibat kelelahan saat menjalani latihan bertahan hidup di dalam hutan Selogiri, Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur, Selasa. Staf Dinas Penerangan (Dispen) Korps Marinir Lettu Mar Mardiono melaporkan sejak Senin (19/10) hingga Selasa (20/10), tercatat 10 prajurit Marinir Amerika yang tumbang dan tidak sanggup melanjutkan latihan survival akibat kelelahan dan tidak tahan dengan cuaca tropis.
"Misalnya, Ranus (26) yang berpangkat BFC dan kelahiran California, merupakan salah satu dari 10 Prajurit Marinir Amerika yang terpaksa harus dievakuasi tim medis dari Korps Marinir Indonesia," katanya, didampingi rekannya Serda Mar Kuwadi.
Latihan Survival itu diikuti 362 Marinir Amerika yang dipandu 16 pelatih, tiga interpreter (penerjemah), empat personel komunikasi, dan lima Prajurit Regu Pandu Tempur (Rupanpur) Korps Marinir TNI AL. Kegiatan survival ini merupakan bagian dari rangkaian Latihan bersama (latma) Marinir Amerika dan Indonesia yang bertajuk "Interoperability Field Training Exercise (IIP?FTX) 2009" di Situbondo dan Banyuwangi, 17-24 Oktober 2009.
Latma yang dikomandani Kolonel Marinir Nur Alamsyah itu dilakukan di empat tempat, yaitu di Pantai Banongan, Puslatpur Marinir Karangtekok, Kecamatan Banyu Putih, Situbondo, Pasewaran, dan hutan Selogiri Banyuwangi. Di Selogiri, 362 Prajurit Marinir Amerika yang menjelajahi hutan liar itu dibagi menjadi dua gelombang yang setiap gelombang dibagi menjadi lima tim dengan didampingi pelatih dan dokter dari Korps Marinir TNI AL.
Satu per satu tim diberangkatkan masuk ke dalam hutan, tetapi panitia sudah menyiapkan rintangngan dan jebakan ranjau yang dipasang sedemikian rupa sebagai tantangan, sehingga sesekali terdengar suara ranjau yang meledak dari balik rerimbunan hutan. Ledakan itu membuat para prajurit kalang kabut, namun mereka tetap saling berkoordinasi dalam satu komando dengan komandan regunya.
Sebelum menjalani perang di dalam hutan, para prajurit Marinir Amerika itu dibekali beberapa pengetahuan dan wawasan terkait cara bertahan hidup di dalam hutan. "Mereka juga kami ajari bagaimana cara makan tumbuh-tumbuhan di hutan, menghadapi hewan di antaranya ular dan beberapa jenis binatang buas," kata Kepala Tim (Katim) Survival Kapten Marinir M Machfud.
Pelatih lainnya, Pelda Marinir Mujiono mempraktikkan bagaimana cara yang benar dalam menjinakkan ular. Beberapa prajurit Marinir Amerika juga ada yang mencoba makan beberapa jenis tumbuhan liar. Dengan bekal logistik yang terbatas, seorang tentara memang dituntut bertahan hidup. Setiap gelombang Latihan Survival itu memakan waktu empat hari empat malam.
"Mereka menghadapi tantangan berat, meski mereka membawa perlengkapan tempur seperti senapan laras panjang M.16 A4, GPMG, senjata canggih lainnya yang dilengkapi dengan infra merah, peralatan komunikasi yang cukup canggih, dan alat digital petunjuk posisi di bumi (Global Positioning System/GPS)," katanya. ant/kpo
BANYUWANGI--Ten American Marines called the United States Marine Corps (USMC) had to be evacuated due to fatigue while undergoing survival training in the Selogiri forest, Banyuwangi, East Java, Tuesday. Staff of the Marine Corps Information Service (Dispen) Lettu Mar Mardiono reported that from Monday (19/10) to Tuesday (20/10), it was recorded that 10 US Marines had fallen and were unable to continue survival training due to fatigue and not being able to stand the tropical weather.
"For example, Ranus (26), who has the rank of BFC and was born in California, is one of 10 US Marine Soldiers who had to be evacuated by the medical team from the Indonesian Marine Corps," he said, accompanied by his partner Serda Mar Kuwadi.
The Survival Exercise was attended by 362 American Marines who were guided by 16 trainers, three interpreters (translators), four communications personnel, and five Soldiers of the Indonesian Navy's Marine Corps Combat Guide Team (Rupanpur). This survival activity is part of a series of joint exercises (latma) for American and Indonesian Marines entitled "Interoperability Field Training Exercise (IIP?FTX) 2009" in Situbondo and Banyuwangi, 17-24 October 2009.
The Latma commanded by Marine Colonel Nur Alamsyah was carried out in four places, namely Banongan Beach, Karangtekok Marine Defense Center, Banyu Putih District, Situbondo, Pasewaran, and the Selogiri Banyuwangi forest. In Selogiri, 362 US Marines who explored the wild forest were divided into two groups, each of which was divided into five teams accompanied by trainers and doctors from the Marine Corps of the Indonesian Navy.
One by one the teams were dispatched into the forest, but the committee had prepared obstacles and mine traps set up in such a way as a challenge, so that occasionally the sound of mines exploding was heard from behind the thick forest. The explosion sent the soldiers into a frenzy, but they still coordinated with each other in one command with their team commander.
Before going through the war in the jungle, the American Marine soldiers were equipped with some knowledge and insight regarding how to survive in the forest. "We also teach them how to eat plants in the forest, dealing with animals including snakes and several types of wild animals," said the Head of the (Katim) Survival Team, Captain Marine M Machfud.
Another trainer, Pelda Marine Mujiono, practices the correct way to tame snakes. Some American Marine soldiers also tried to eat some wild plant species. With limited logistical provisions, a soldier is required to survive. Each wave of the Survival Drill took four days and four nights.
"They face tough challenges, even though they carry combat equipment such as M.16 A4 rifles, GPMG, other sophisticated weapons equipped with infrared, quite sophisticated communication equipment, and digital tools for positioning on earth (Global Positioning System / GPS). )," he said. ant/kpo
