    CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (July 31, 2021) U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Issaka Guebre from Fort Jackson, SC participating in the Norwegian Foot March. The Norwegian Foot March is an 18.6-mile foot march with 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 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.
