Training for the Warrior Athlete
Full Mission Profile
Situation:
Moments ago an intelligence gathering team intercepted a cellular phone call between a known terrorist leader that has been under surveillance and a team of insurgents operating in the field. The call confirmed that the field team, who had kidnapped a British Engineer working in Afghanistan approximately a month ago, was in the process of moving him on foot when he fell down into a ravine, breaking a leg and sustaining head trauma. The leader ordered the team to stay put until a support team arrived to assist in moving him to an unknown location.
The call enabled the exact position of the field team to be pinpointed in a hilly area that is known to have bands of terrorists and sympathizers. A small SOF team is in the area on another mission, which can be redirected. They will need to execute immediately on foot, however, as there are no air assets in the area.
Objective:
Redirect small Special Operations Force to travel on foot to the location of the hostage and enemy forces. SOF unit will assault the enemy and retrieve the hostage, carrying him overland to a safe location where rescue vehicles will rendezvous with the team for exfil to Forward Operating Base.
Timeline:
SOF unit will have approximately 45 minutes from the time of insert to locate hostage, eliminate terrorist team and move to safe distance.

Good work Chandler. Glad to see the team is staying together.
My insert took 22:06 I ran on a loose gravel trail
Altogether the Insert and AAO took 39:40 I thought it was not as intense as I like to see FMPs. The hardest part was the last Run/walk with the 40 lbs dumbbell I really couldn’t Figure a way to run with the weight and 30 laps on the YMCA track sucked.
Oh Price, you foolish little man. You know you only taunt me when you tell me it’s too easy. Stand by to pay!!!
Coach! This was my first FMP so I had to scale the distance to 3 total miles and 4 rounds, total time was still about 55 minutes. These are killer!
Total time 1:25:27 I hated jogging/walking/wogging with that kettlebell. My neighbors gave me strange looks.
This was a tough one for me. Price, I did not think this was easy at all!
I ran with a 20lb vest instead of 25lbs and felt slow. It did not help that it was 90 degrees here. Thanks again for these awesome workouts.
Hoo-Yah Cathy!!
Hey there Sandwich. Good to see you on the team.
