RANGER CHALLENGE

The purpose for the Ranger Challenge Program is to challenge cadets in tough mental and physical competition, enhance leader development, form team cohesion, and develop healthy competition among the battalions.  Each year, top cadets from around the country gather to compete in Army ROTC's varsity sport: the ROTC Ranger Challenge.  This voluntary competition offers outstanding teamwork training while demanding your best physical and mental efforts. Events include orienteering, in which teams use land navigation skills to find 40 checkpoints over a four-square-mile course. Another event is constructing a one-rope bridge, in which teams cross a 40-foot water obstacle using a single rope and plenty of ingenuity. 

Other events include the grenade assault course or grenade throw, patrolling written test; land navigation limited to 4 hours in duration, M16 marksmanship on paper targets, M16 rifle disassembly and assembly, a water assault course with zipline, and a 10K foot march with 35lb rucksack.
