We are one team!

By land, sea, air and space, your American service members work around the clock, 365 days a year, to protect and preserve our Nation. With our sincere gratitude to all who serve.

This is our super bowl.
U.S. Army obstacle courses forge both the physical and mental fortitude essential for success in military service. They might look like fun from the outside - and to some, they are - but these rigorous challenges push initial entry trainees to their limits, demanding resilience in the face of adversity.
Most importantly, these courses emphasize the importance of teamwork, as trainees learn to rely on one another for support and guidance, embodying the readiness and camaraderie that define the ethos of the Army.
