DAHLONEGA, Ga. A long wait did not change the trajectory of the University of North Georgia s (UNG) Ranger Challenge program.
Eighteen months after sweeping the top two spots at Spartan Ranger Challenge and two years since UNG last competed at the Sandhurst Military Skills Competition, UNG earned a third straight ROTC title. The school finished fourth overall out of 44 teams at Sandhurst, which was held April 16-17 at the U.S. Military Academy
But what would the ACFT be like if conducted in outer space? Wonder no longer.
In a video released this week by the Army s Medical Center of Excellence, Army Col. Drew Morgan, a NASA astronaut, demonstrates the test while aboard the International Space Station. Some events still presented a physical challenge, thanks to special equipment that enables astronauts to work out in zero-gravity conditions; others simply seemed ridiculous.
Morgan, who was selected by NASA to become an astronaut in 2013, is an Army emergency physician and former member of the U.S. Military Academy s Black Knights parachute demonstration team. He was last at the International Space Station from July 20, 2019, to April 17, 2020. The video release comes the same week two other NASA astronauts, Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, departed on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket for a tour aboard the ISS, joining an international crew already in orbit.
