The Recon Challenge is an annual competition of grueling tests, hosted by the Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry West, and conducted by volunteers from the recon community in honor of reconnaissance Marines and sailors killed in action. The challenge consisted of a 1000-meter swim with fins in the Pacific Ocean followed by an observation and memorization game, a navigation and map work test, radio and communication test, obstacle course event, weapon assembly and disassembly test, two pool challenges, fireman’s carry event, live-fire range and a knot-tying test scattered along the route to the finish line.
