Originating in 1915 to measure endurance and the ability to remain combat ready after a lengthy movement under load, the Norwegian Foot March at Misawa AB challenged participants to complete an 18.6-mile route with a minimum 25-pound rucksack within the designated qualifying time to earn the Norwegian Armed Forces skill badge.
