Only strong survive
in ROTC challenge
■The Oregon ROTCwill
host the five-team Ranger
Challenge on campus
By Inge Scheve
for the Emerald
For the first time, the Oregon
ROTC greets four ROTC teams
from other Oregon schools to the
University campus for the 2000
Regional Ranger Challenge this
Saturday.
The Ranger Challenge is based
on five grueling exercises that test
strength, skills and stamina.
"I’m optimistic that we’ll do
well, and I'm generally hard on
people," Oregon ROTC faculty ad
viser Sgt. Jonathan Dinsmore said.
Dinsmore has overseen practice
at 6:15 a.m. every weekday morn
ing for the last month prior to this
competition.
"Some people have come a long
way the last month," he said.
"Hopefully they’ll have a good time
at it and feel they've accomplished
something."
The Ducks are fielding two
teams to compete against teams
from Oregon State, Western Ore
gon and Portland/Portland State.
The first events, the Army phys
ical fitness test (two minutes each
of sit-ups and push-ups) and a 2
mile run, take place at the ROTC
building on Agate Street at 7 a.m.
From there, the teams move on
to Autzen Stadium for dummy
hand-grenade throwing at targets,
followed by timed rope bridge con
struction and team drill by the
stream next to Autzen Stadium.
The 50-foot rope bridge will ac
tually be built over water for the
first time ever. This has a mental
impact on participants because it's
wet and somebody will fall in,
Dinsmore said.
"With our home-court advan
tage, we are optimistic about the
rope bridge event," Dinsmore said,
pointing out that the Oregon teams
have practiced over water while
the other teams may not have tried
that yet.
After the bridge exercise, the
teams move on to a 10,000-meter
run along the Prefontaine trails.
During this event, the teams run as
a unit through the course. All par
ticipants wear battle dress uni
forms, battle equipment belts and
25-pound rucksacks while carry
ing fake guns that resemble the
size and weight of Ml6s, Dinsmore
said.
"This is a team event, so they'll
all help drag and pull each other

along the course," Dinsmore said.
Immediately after the race fin
ishes, teams will perform weapon
disassembly and reassembly back
at the ROTC building on Agate
Street.
The Ranger Challenge culmi
nates in an awards ceremony after
all exercises are finished and the.
scores have been tallied. The win
ner is the best in all of the events
combined, and that team will take
home the roaming trophy, current
ly in Western Oregon's possession,
Dinsmore said.
"Some things we felt like we
were better at last year. You either
make it or you don't, but a lot of •
the events can go either way,"
Dinsmore said.
The Ducks returned in second 4
place from Western Oregon last year.
