    Soldiers from various units in the Arkansas national guard, along with soldiers from the Guatemalan army's special forces (Kaibil), were tested on their ability to complete a ruck march with while in full gear and stop at various points along the way to perform certain army warrior tasks.
    Guatemala is Arkansas' partner nation in the state partnership program. The Arkansas National Guard regularly conducts training with the Guatemalan army.
    The soldiers flew from the airfield to a landing zone where they were dropped off to begin the ruck march. The competitors were limited to completing the ruck march in under 6 hours. Throughout the ruck march, soldiers were required to stop at multiple locations and complete various tasks to standard. They were timed at all events. Those times are figured into their overall ruck march time to determine the winner of the total ruck march.
    At the first station, soldiers were required to dawn protective gear. They then had to acquire a grenade launcher and run to a specified location where they were then required to shoot 4 targets with the 5 rounds provided. They rounds used were made of chalk and not explosive.
    After that station, competitors then ruck marched down to an area where they were required to successfully throw a hand grenade and disable enemy targets. They then assaulted an objective and cleared a building. They were expected to use modern army combatives tactics to subdue a hostile enemy. They then had to simulate rendering first aid to a fallen soldier and then evacuate that injured soldier.
    Competitors then ruck marched down to a range where they sighted in their m-4 rifle before rucking to other stations where they were required to successfully engage targets with the m249 squad automatic weapon (saw), the mk19 automatic grenade launcher and a pistol.
    After completing all of the required tasks, the competitors then completed the last leg of the ruck march.
