The requirement for the Raider Team is that you must be able to pass the Army Physical Training test, 3k team run (1.5 miles), first aid, one-rope bridge, land navigation, and questions from our curriculum (LET Knowledge).

For the PT test, if you are a 16-year-old male, you need to be able to run two miles under eight minutes and 30 seconds. You will also need to be able to do 70 push-ups and 80 sit-ups under two minutes in order to pass the test.

Another requirement is the one-rope bridge. Your team must construct the bridge with one rope and four carabineers. Than eight cadets must cross the bridge in the fastest time possible. This year we competed with our fastest time every, 4 minutes and 11 seconds at the competion in Brady's run.

Finally, land navigation, they give you a compass and some points to find and you must head in the right direction and locate your points using a compass, shooting an azimuth and using an accurate pace count to find your next point. Don't get lost!
