Murph Challenge participants wear a weighted vest during the Armed Forces and FDNY Murph Challenge at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hamilton, May 20, 2026. Among the more than 70 combined military service members and FDNY firefighters who competed, many chose to complete the full event under load — mirroring the tactical vest Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy wore during the workout he called "Body Armor." Murphy, a Medal of Honor recipient and Long Island native, was killed in action during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. The weighted vest option represents the highest standard of the challenge and honors Murphy's commitment to preparing for the physical demands of combat.
