RANGER CHALLENGE TEAM

The Ranger Challenge Team trains intensely from May through Mid-October for the annual Brigade Ranger Challenge Competition held at Fort Knox, Kentucky and Febuary through early April for the Best Ranger Competition held by the Muskie Battalion including teams from all over the region. Both competition events include a 10 kilometer road march, weapons assembly, rifle marksmanship, land navigation, hand grenade assault course, and the Army physical fitness test. The team stresses physical readiness and camaraderie.

PERSHING RIFLES

The All For One Battalion's Pershing Rifles are charged with the task of presenting the colors at Xavier University basketball games and other special events. Their season runs from October through the spring. As one of the most visible components of the All For One Battalion, the club is required to maintain an exceptional level of appearance and conduct when in front of people. Despite the added responsibility, those in Pershing Rifles all agree that the experience is well worth it and can be very enjoyable as well.
