U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Rudy Mendiola, left, and Lance Cpl. Norman Abas, both Marine Security Guards assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Vilnius, walk past the start line during the Norwegian Foot March at Pabradė Training Area, Lithuania, May 26, 2026. Approximately 130 troops from four nations attempted the 18.6-mile ruck march, carrying 25 pounds in their rucksacks within a four-hour-and-30-minute time standard to earn the Norges Marsjmerket — an endurance badge first issued by the Norwegian Armed Forces in 1915.
