Army Reserve soldiers assigned to 455 Chemical Brigade, 76 Operational Response Command, compete in the 12-mile ruck march during the third day of the “Best Warrior Competition” (BWC) on February 10, 2023, at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif. During the 12-mile ruck march, soldiers must carry a backpack or rucksack, weighing at least 35 pounds for men and 25 pounds for women, along with their other equipment for the march. The ruck march simulates the physical demands that soldiers may face in combat situations, where they may need to carry heavy loads over long distances.
The 76th Operational Response Command (76th ORC) is the Army Reserve's Center for Defense Support of Civilian Authorities, providing support to state and local officials, first responders, and other federal agencies during emergencies or natural disasters. The 76th ORC is home to two Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) brigades, a space brigade, a Regional Support Group, The Army Reserve's Consequence Management Unit, 11 Army Reserve Elements, 10 Regional Emergency Preparedness Liaison Office (EPLO) Teams, and 53 State EPLO Teams.
