One of the first US soldiers to attend Lancero was (later) GEN John Galvin.

Tough fucking course. Resembles a lot like the old Pana-Jungla Course, JOTC paled by comparison, not that it was easy either.

Several of those schools are similar. But, adapted to the local requirements. The Army of Chile has a high altitude mountain operations course. In Guatemala they have the Kaibil course.
