Four New Hampshire guardsmen participated in a Ranger assessment on April 29 at the Edward Cross Training Complex (ECTC) in Pembroke, N.H., and Ft. Devens, Mass.

The one-day assessment started at the ECTC with the Ranger physical fitness test, consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, a five-mile run in less than 40 minutes, and a Combat Water Survival Test. Participants then headed to Ft. Devens for a tactical written exam, a land navigation course, and a culminating 12-mile ruck march.

The ranger assessment allows participants to measure their mental and physical readiness and, if selected, attend the U.S. Army’s 62-day, small unit tactics and leadership course hosted at Ft. Benning, Ga.
