The 2023 Warfighter Challenge will test competitors with a variety of challenges. A minimum gear list will be published and provided to competitors 60 days in advance. Events will include, but are not limited to, the following:
12 mile timed ruck w/min 35lbs dry weight plus weapon
Land Navigation Day/Night
Mobility/Counter Mobility Pioneer/Sapper Skills
