U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to Task Force Provider and Task Force Grizzly participates in the Norwegian Foot March at the airfield in Powidz, Poland on Oct. 12, 2023. The Norwegian Foot March is a military endurance test. The participants march or run a 30 km (18.6-mile) long route, carrying a rucksack of 11 kg (24 Ibs). In 1915, the Norwegian Army held a test of marching endurance for their soldiers. The tactical goal was to be able to move larger units of troops over a distance swiftly and in a manner that enabled them to be prepared for combat even after the march efficiently. Soldiers that complete the march under the prescribed time limit earn a badge.
