    Spc Kyle Dickens and Spc. Adrian Vaca, both combat engineers assigned to 571st Sapper Company, 14th Engineers Battalion, 555th Engineers Brigade, partner up to mimic the events they will perform while on the firing lane. Instead of firing at a specific target after completing the burpees the soldiers have to find a number that is called out by their partner. The company conducted a stress firing range as part of their comprehensive soldier and family fitness preparation. The event consisted of soldiers firing at targets after conducting multiple repetitions of burpees. This event was designed to test the soldiers on attention control, blocking surrounding distractions and managing their focus, Aug. 28.
