Ranger Challenge

The Ranger Challenge Team provides the opportunity for cadets to further develop their military and leadership skills by providing hands-on training in small unit patrolling.  The purpose for Ranger Challenge Program is to challenge cadets in tough mental and physical competition, enhance leader development, develop team cohesion, and to develop healthy competition among the battalions.  Each year, top cadets from around the country gather to compete in Army ROTC's varsity sport: the ROTC Ranger Challenge.  This voluntary competition offers outstanding teamwork training while demanding your best physical and mental efforts. Events include orienteering, in which teams use land navigation skills to find 40 checkpoints over a four-square-mile course; and constructing a one-rope bridge, in which teams cross a 40-foot water obstacle using a single rope and plenty of ingenuity. Other events include the grenade assault course or grenade throw (depending on course availability), patrolling (option to administer written test); land navigation, M16 marksmanship, weapons disassembly and assembly, and a 10K road march.  In the fall of each year, Ranger Challenge cadets compete against 23 other schools from California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
