Airborne Engineers from the 82nd Airborne Division tested their mental agility and physical endurance Aug. 28, 2018 on Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Paratroopers from the 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team participated in an "Amazing Race" style contest, testing their ability to solve problems while under physical stress.
The battalion divided into teams by birth month and set off to visit as many stations as possible throughout the brigade's area on Fort Bragg. Stations required the paratroopers to solve a mentally and physically-demanding task to earn points.
At one location, paratroopers closed their eyes, randomly grasped the hands of two separate teammates and untangled themselves into a circle. Another event required a blindfolded paratrooper to navigate through a course while receiving verbal instructions from his partner.
