1
00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:03,188
(intense rock music)

2
00:00:10,670 --> 00:00:12,170
- We're doing the Mustang Challenge,

3
00:00:12,170 --> 00:00:17,110
which is a competition-type
event that we are using

4
00:00:17,110 --> 00:00:21,210
to gain an accurate assessment
of where our troops are

5
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:23,250
in terms of how well-trained they are.

6
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:26,270
Day one consists of issuing the equipment

7
00:00:26,270 --> 00:00:29,760
and doing our inventory,
signing some hand receipts,

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,840
and doing an ops check on that equipment

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,950
to make sure that it's ready
for the actual challenge.

10
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:39,950
Day two consists of the
ruck march, T CCC event,

11
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:43,600
and a range/weapons event.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,260
The teams will ruck march around the base.

13
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:49,130
They'll stop at each station,

14
00:00:49,130 --> 00:00:51,820
whether it's Triple C
or the range station,

15
00:00:51,820 --> 00:00:52,930
do their tasks,

16
00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:55,360
and then the afternoon portion

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,800
is when they really get
into the signal portion

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,320
of the Mustang Challenge,

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,370
which is the most important part.

20
00:01:01,370 --> 00:01:06,250
And what we really want to do
is gain an accurate assessment

21
00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:08,020
of how well-trained our troops are

22
00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:12,380
so that we know what we need
to build upon in the future,

23
00:01:12,380 --> 00:01:14,530
where our deficiencies are,

24
00:01:14,530 --> 00:01:18,740
and what we need to place
more focus on in training.

25
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:22,470
And then day three, we
have a physical challenge.

26
00:01:22,470 --> 00:01:24,200
We've modified that this year

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,850
to incorporate more ACFT-style events.

28
00:01:27,850 --> 00:01:30,340
It's not exactly an ACFT,

29
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:34,690
but it gets the soldiers
familiar with the new ACFT

30
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:37,610
so that they can prepare
themselves for that test

31
00:01:37,610 --> 00:01:38,443
in the future.

32
00:01:39,410 --> 00:01:40,850
Our teams are ready to compete.

33
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:43,010
They're ready to go, excited.

34
00:01:43,010 --> 00:01:46,890
They're motivated, eager
to prove why 4th JCS

35
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:49,911
is the best squadron in the Army Reserve.

36
00:01:49,911 --> 00:01:52,494
(upbeat music)
