Ranger Challenge

Every year, the Tar Heel Battalion sends a team of 11 cadets to Fort Barfoot, Virginia to participate in the 4th ROTC Brigade Ranger Challenge competition. The events include patrolling, marksmanship, weapons assembly, one-rope bridge, grenade assault course, land navigation, and a ten kilometer road march.

The team is comprised of top-performing cadets in the Battalion who compete as a team against other colleges and universities. Team selection occurs early each fall and the selected Cadets train five days per week leading up to the competition.
