Soldiers on Ex RUCKING BEAR showed impressive strength and endurance by finishing a 16K march and activities in between. This is why we never skip PT: you always have to be ready to ruck. Great work!Ex RUCKING BEAR brings us back to basics. It’s great to see our people put their fitness and endurance on display in a 16K march. Ground forces are as relevant as ever today, and we can’t always rely on vehicles for our mobility. Good marching, folks!
