West Virginia National Guard Adjutant General Jim Seward gives a motivational speech before step off during the Norwegian Foot March in Clendenin, West Virginia Nov. 15, 2025. The Norwegian Foot March requires soldiers to march 30 km with an 11 kg rucksack within a designated time, depending on the candidates’ age group and gender. The march was first held in 1915 as a test of marching endurance for soldiers in the Norwegian Army, with the goal being to move a large number of troops over a great distance and have them be combat-ready even after completing the march.
