On May 20 at 2250 hours, 250 Soldiers stepped off to take on the Norwegian Ruck March, an 18.6 mile road march while carrying a 24 lb. pack in under 4 hours and 30 minutes. A handful of the participants were there representing 36th Sustainment Brigade. All completed the march but only four of them met the mark to receive the badge worn on the dress uniform. Congratulations to SPC Cameron Burkett, SPC Junior Mbakwa, SSG Steven Kuczera, and SFC Michael Castro.
