U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Justin Schmidt, assigned to the 1-509th Infantry Battalion, Fort Polk, La., calls for a simulated aircraft landing after his team establish a helicopter landing point while competing in the Gainey Cup competition at Fort Benning, Ga., March 1-5, 2013. The five-day event tested 20 five-man teams on cavalry scout skills such as day and night fires, weapons familiarization, area reconnaissance, and observation post establishment. It also tested their physical endurance with multi-phased road marches, obstacle courses and a multi-event physical fitness test that included not only the standard push-ups and sit-ups but also pull ups, dips, bench press, rope climb, tire flip, and pushing a humvee up an incline.
