The Texas A&M Ranger Challenge Team
will be trekking through the woods this
weekend in Washington state raiding and
destroying enemy camps as part of the
Ranger Challenge competition.
The competition will be Nov. 18 through
20. This year’s competition is among the 10
best ROTC teams from 22 states making up
the Fourth Region.
“This is the regional championship for the
ROTC units west of the Mississippi,” Maj.
Jim Davis, adviser for the Ranger Challenge
Team, said. “It’s the best of the best. For us
it is the highest they can go.
“I think they’re going to do well,” Davis
said. “They’ll at least be in the top three. I
think they have a good chance to win.”
Steve Zynda, Ranger Challenge Comman
der, said that he is confident the A&M
cadets will perform well this weekend.
“I think we’ll be able to go up there and
take first place,” he said.
Michael Christensen, a sophomore parks
and recreation major, agreed.
“I’m pretty confident that we’re going to
get there and take first,” Christensen said.
Andy Lambert, a sophomore business ma
jor, said that he is focused for the competition.
“There is not much you can think
about,” he said. “You have to fine tune
what you have.”
One of the eight events that make up the
competition is the physical fitness test. It con
sists of push ups, sit ups, and a two-mile run.
“Most everyone on the team excels in
that event,” Zynda, a senior parks and
recreation major, said. “They do the
maximum.”
The cadets will also compete in a marks
manship event where they shoot M-16s at
pop-up targets. There is also a weapons
assembly event. The Rangers must assem
ble an M-16 and an M-60 machine gun.
Other events include the rope bridge
Steve Zynda, a senior recreation and parks
major (standing), along with Raymond
Vasquez, a junior industrial distribution
Kevin Jackson/Special to
major, and Chris Brook, a sophomoret:
ogy major, compete for the shortest tin
a recent Ranger Challenge competition
event, the orienteering event and the
grenade assault event.
The all-night patrol event consists of a
two-mile trek through the woods, while the
cadets have to try to raid an enemy camp
and destroy it.
Immediately following the patrol event is
a timed 6.2 mile run where the cadets are in
full uniform.
“Basically all the teams are racing each
other,” Davis said. “However the team
members can be no farther apart than 25
meters. They must finish as a team.”
Lambert said there will be some chal
lenges for the team, however, at Ft. Lewis.
“The cold weather will be a challenge,”
Lambert said. “And the competition will be
a challenge. Basically, knowing you have to
do well will be a challenge.”
The team is considered one of the most
important parts of being a member of
Ranger Challenge.
“Team work plays a big part in Rai
Challenge,” Lambert said. “Nobody coi
across the finish line first. We all
across as a team.
“Ranger Challenge is an elite unit
nine people,” Christensen said. “It’s one
the tightest units in the Corps. You’re
pendent on them, and they depend onyt
