Small-arms fire rang out as Soldiers hit the dirt and began low crawling under concertina wire, pushing their gear in front of them before sliding down into a muddy trench.
The 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, annual physical training competition Aug. 28, 2017, had Soldiers focusing on the importance of cohesive teamwork while also providing an opportunity for them to showcase pride for their unit.
"The event defines the culture in the 'Raider' Brigade by highlighting teamwork, camaraderie and self-discipline," said Col. Curtis Taylor, then 1st SBCT commander. "Soldiers in battle fight for the man or woman next to them. To succeed in this event, they must do the same."
Soldiers of the brigade have learned to anticipate these annual events and compete for the fastest completion time with their respective company, troop or battery.
Formations of Soldiers negotiated over tall walls with a heavy Medium Tactical Vehicle tire, traversed through tank ditches, crawled under barbed wire and performed litter carries up steep hills.
The day culminated with an awards ceremony with Company B, 2nd Squadron, 1st Calvary Regiment, capturing first place with an overall time of 1 hour, 20 minutes, 15 seconds.
