U.S. Army Soldiers from America’s First Corps participate in the Mystery Event during the I Corps 2025 Best Squad Competition, June 12, 2025, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Squads were given three minutes to memorize a two-layer packing list, then complete a series of physically demanding tasks including a grenade throw, pushing a sled, low crawling, and hopping over barriers. They next individually entered the cognitive lane to place the items of the original packing list in the correct order on a tarp using color-coded markers. The timed event reinforced team coordination, physical and mental agility, and operational precision under pressure. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Elizabeth DeGroot)
