You decided to take part, but what preparations do you need to make?
This page is designed to answer these questions and give you information from experienced people.
Both Stealth Ops and Urban Ops are based on the following mindsets in their games.
These mindsets naturally determine your priorities and how you move during the game.
GORUCK has individual and team competitions.
Selected members from the team compete in the individual competition.
Sometimes agents who are good at the competition are selected, sometimes those who have participated in fewer competitions are selected at random.
Team competitions, (like the march), require the participation of all members.
GORUCK competitions are solidarity-based and team collaboration is important.
In some competitions, one person's mistake lead to everyone being punished by Cadre (e.g. push-ups).😭
This is a time attack race in which selected members climb up in a bear crawl and descend in a crab walk.
Time attack race in which selected members use racks to represent glyphs specified by Cadre and touch target portals.
It is better to remember the exact glyph names and positions for quick representation.
body->pants would fail!
A competition in which sandbags of a specified weight are prepared on a sandy beach, with the surrounding area resembling lava, and the sandbags are crossed over floating rocks and sandbags to avoid falling off, (like the Ryujin-pond in Takeshi's castle).
Teamwork is required, as sandbags need to be passed around like a bucket relay to create footholds.
GORUCK logo to be created in the field.
Logos are created in anticipation of disturbances, like daily tasks and operations.
This is a competition in which construction-specialized agents will show the potential, and also a time attack competition.
Time attack competition in which all selected members finish by dragging a sandbag in a Bear Crawl with a rack on their back.
In this race, selected members compete by tossing a sandbag forward, the next agent runs to the sandbag and tosses it further forward, and repeats the process, returning to the starting point from the turning point.
A number-locking lock called “Pad Lock” will be installed on the rack of each faction leader, and the first one to unlock the lock will receive victory points.
Bop it! is a game in which you have to follow the instructions from a toy called “Bop it!
If all the selected members can do it without making a mistake, it is OK.
If you make a mistake, you will be punished.....
The challenge of opening the lock in Stealth Ops is a continued challenge in Urban Ops.
This is a time attack competition in which selected members of a team perform a bear crawl uphill and a club walk downhill.
The four selected members of the team compete in an endurance contest by holding a sandbag connected to a carabiner above their heads.
If one of the members drops out, the team loses the competition.
Selected members of the team form a tunnel by crawling on all fours.
A sandbag connected to a carabiner passes under it. Once the sandbag passes through the tunnel, they are required to turn around and return to the starting point to compete in the time attack competition.
The sandbags are carried from point A to point B while running.
Once all the sandbags have been carried, the sandbags are carried back from point B to point A. This is a time attack competition.
All the selected members must make one round trip.
One person from each team is selected, and the winner is the one who has done the most within the time limit.
If you have read through this far, some of you may feel uneasy about participating without any experience at all.
If so, you should first try participating in a training session!
There are GORUCK training teams in both the Kansai and Kanto regions!
If you have a chance, we recommend you to participate in the training because you can learn how to build basic fitness and how to complement each other to act as a team.
Kansai: http://t.me/yasu00win (Please contact here)
Kanto: THR (Tokyo Hikyaku Ruckers) XF(This is the site of FS organized by THR)
Rucksacks for weights (Not GORUCK products are acceptable)
20 lb. (approximately 9 kg) of weights
At least 2-liter of drinking water
Reflective band
Scanner
Headlamp and spare battery
Emergency contact card
(Faction’s flag, as a team)
It is also a good idea to ask experienced seniors about other items that would be useful to have on-site.
It can be used in games if it is sturdy, even if it’s your own.
GORUCK products are recommended if you plan to purchase new. They are well-balanced and sturdy when weighted, making it easy to throw and lift in the game.
If you want an official weight, you can obtain it through an import agency service.
There is a way to have a steel cut service at Home Center or online sheet metal shop. (Approximately A4 paper size)
Other possible substitutions
2 copies of Zexy magazine (Kanto region edition)
2 bags of 5kg rice
3 pieces of bricks
Plate for weight lifting
9 kg of water bottles are not recommended
(There are only a few types of rucksacks that hold five 2-liter bottles, and they are unbalanced.)
If you think it is difficult to prepare the weight, get consultation from an experienced agent.
We recommend a hydration type (with a blue hose in the photo), instead of plastic bottles.
Waterproof case to protect your smartphone and battery from shocks
Be prepared for the day by being physically fit and well-equipped!
This is followed by specific training videos and supplemental foods.
