Ranger Challenge is the varsity sport of Army ROTC.   Ranger Challenge is designed to develop esprit-de-corps, technical and tactical competence, physical fitness, and leadership abilities of its participants.   After the grueling two-day competition, everyone achieves a winning attitude and brotherhood with those that excepted the challenge with them.. 

The Skyhawk Ranger Challenge Team trains for the 5th Brigade Competition held annually at Fort Jackson, SC.  The competition tests cadets in weapons disassembly/assembly,  50-meter swim, map reading/patrolling knowledge, day and night orienteering, hand grenade assault course, fitness obstacle course, physical fitness test, a mystery event, and a 10K combat load road march. 

 

How do I become a member?
Membership in Ranger Challenge is voluntary if you are enrolled. You do not have to be contracted to be a part of the team.

Physical Training is conducted Monday-Friday at 0600.  Other training, such as map reading, patrolling, weapons assembly and disassembly, hand grenade employment, and orienteering are also conducted.

If you think you have what it takes to be the best. . . the elite of the Skyhawk Battalion, then the Ranger Challenge team wants YOU!
