CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (July 31, 2021) Participants give their shot at the Norwegian Foot March Badge. The Norwegian Foot March is an 18.6-mile foot march while carrying a 25-pound rucksack. The Norwegian Foot March, or Marsjmerket, is a Norwegian armed forces skill badge that is earned. It originated in 1915 for the purpose of exposing civilians and new military recruits to what it is like to be in the field. Since then, it has evolved to become a Foreign Service badge earned by completing the foot march to standard. Those who complete the event to standard will earn the Norwegian Foot March pin. Camp Lemonnier is an operational installation that enables U.S., allied and partner nation forces to be where and when they are needed to ensure security in Europe, Africa and Southwest Asia.
