Multinational soldiers assigned to the NATO Multinational Battle Group await a signal to begin running during an 18.6-mile Norwegian Foot March at the Bemowo Piskie Training Area (BPTA), Poland, Dec. 21, 2024. Nearly 120 soldiers, representing the U.S., U.K., Poland and Romania, arrived in the early morning hours to check in and weigh their rucksacks. Each soldier is required to carry a minimum of 24 pounds, not including their water source. Depending on the participant's age group and gender, they’re prescribed a time in which they must complete the march. Times range from four and a half to six hours. Soldiers who finished within their allotted time earned the honor of wearing a badge they can place alongside their medals and decorations on their dress uniform. The march is designed to push participants to their limits, testing both their physical capabilities and mental fortitude. Events like this enhance the spirit of camaraderie within the Battle Group and improve overall physical and mental readiness. The 1st Cavalry Division’s mission is to strengthen partnerships with our NATO allies and regional security partners. This provides competent and ready forces to V Corps, America’s forward-deployed corps in Europe (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Trevor Wilson)
