Christopher Saunders (right,) a public affairs mass communication specialist assigned in the 70th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment, 70th Troop Command, with a challenge coin for being the first American to cross the finish line and taking second place overall during the Norwegian Foot March at Bemowo Piskie Training Area (BPTA), Poland, Dec. 21, 2024. The Norwegian Foot March is an 18.6-mile march for time with a rucksack containing 24 pounds that tests the participant's physical and mental fortitude. The 1st Cavalry Division’s mission is to engage in multinational training and exercises across the continent, while strengthening partnerships with our NATO allies and regional security partners, which provides competent and ready forces to V Corps, America’s forward-deployed corps in Europe.
