RANGER CHALLENGE TEAM |
|
|
The question is "Are You Tough Enough"?
Ranger Challenge is the varsity sport of ROTC. It is
both mentally and physically demanding. The Ranger
Challenge team is required to have between 8 to 10
cadets in order to compete. All cadets are eligible to
try out for the team, men and women, scholarship and
non-scholarship cadets in all years of Military Science.
What is really required to be on the Ranger Challenge
team is desire, commitment to the team, and as the name
implies, the willingness to go further then you ever
thought you could. Competition events include:
- Basic Rifle Marksmanship
- Land Navigation
- Map reading written exam
- The Army Physical Fitness Test
- Commander's Special Event
- Hand Grenade Assault Course
- Obstacle Course
- 10-Kilometer forced road march
Training for competition includes rigorous physical
fitness workouts, informational classes on various
elements of map reading, and a weekend Field Training
Exercise where rifle marksmanship, land navigation, and
other skills are practiced. The faint at heart need not
apply HOOAH!
