April 2017 - The Recon Challenge is
a 25-mile endurance course where Recon Marines aboard Camp
Pendleton, California endure a myriad of challenges and
tests in the basic fundamentals of being a Reconnaissance
Marine. From hiking through roughly 15 miles of difficult
terrain with 50 pounds of gear, to a grueling 2,000 meter
swim to shore from the icy Pacific Ocean, Marines are
presented with a number of challenges along the way,
including obstacle courses, weapons firing and operations,
and swim tactics. A total of 27 two-man teams competed in
2017 ... each team wearing the name of a fallen recon Marine
on their packs.
