    Teams of soldiers from the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, compete during the Warhorse Crossfit Challenge held at Camp Nathan Smith, April 8. Teams started eight minutes apart, so while one team is running part of their five kilometers another team struggles to carry the tire 200 meters. The challenge was designed to honor the soldiers the brigade had lost during its deployment.
