The Brigade Ranger Challenge is the Army ROTC Varsity Sport. Teams form early in the semester and train rigorously nearly every morning of the week. Ranger Challenge team members accomplish more before 0800 then most college students accomplish in an entire day. Teams train all the way up until the Brigade Ranger Challenge Competition. The mission is to challenge Cadets' mental and physical toughness and to develop leadership while fostering teamwork and esprit-de-corps. Teams participate in twelve graded events.
The competition takes place at Fort AP Hill in Virginia where Ranger Challenge teams all across 4th brigade come to compete. A Ranger Challenge Team is made up of nine cadets, two alternates and at least one female who compete in different challenges consisting of twelve graded events.
Each team gains points based on their performance in each event. The best team in each event gains a ribbon to add to their guidon. The first and second place teams will then go on to compete in the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition hosted at West Point Military Academy this upcoming April.

"It means focusing on team success where everyone capitalizes off each others strengths. A huge part of it was knowing when to having fun throughout all the trainings/competition. No matter how tough the different obstacles were I knew I had my friends with me and we all supported each other."

"Ranger challenge is an opportunity to push yourself physically and improve your skills as a cadet. It is also a unique chance to be able to test yourself against some of the best cadets in the country."

"Ranger Challenge is one of the most physically demanding tasks in ROTC but it also gives you the opportunity to work as a team with individuals from all backgrounds and provides structure to help balance school, life, and ROTC in general."
