E-7 and E-8s doing police call outside the Center (IMA at that time). MG Flanagan was in charge of the Center.

I was in Training Group then. Our first "Pass In Review" under the command of MG Flanagan resulted in us having to learn a new addition to FM 22-5. MG Flanagan thought SF troops incapable of executing a "Column Left" during the Pass in Review, so he had us do a "Left Flank" instead - which resulted in its own set of problems.

I was told by a TAC that they called it "22-Flanagan"!
