Events & Activities

ROTC Offers Many Opportunities to Excel

In Army ROTC, it's not all classroom and field training. There are many opportunities for you to get to know your fellow cadets better and increase your skills in a variety of areas. Learn more about these events and activities below.

Ranger Challenge

The Ranger Challenge is an opportunity for schools to "compete" with each other completing military tasks. In addition to a written examination where Cadets test their Army knowledge, there are physical fitness drills and field exercises. Battalions leave a Ranger Challenge with stronger bonds and sharper skills.

German Armed Forces Badge for Military Proficiency
The GAFPB is a multi-day competition. It consists of track and field, swimming, marksmanship, and road-march events. Competitors will be able to qualify for one of three different badges; gold, silver, or bronze. Both track and field and swimming events are a pass/fail basis only. Failure of any of these events will result in removal from the competition. The marksmanship and road-march events will determine which badge the competitor will earn.
