A desire to win
Article Abstract:
The Army's annual 'Best Ranger Competition' (BRC) is an event the service created to test soldiers' athletic, academic, mental and military makeup as individuals and as a team. The three-day, 24-hour-a-day competition requires two-man teams to hurdle a number of gruelling tests. This includes an obstacle course, 'slide for life' event, difficult rope climb involving technique and strength, night land navigation course and two- mile buddy run. The BRC is considered the most outstanding of the Army's military athletic competitions.
