⚡️Yesterday, Soldiers took on the Gauntlet Challenge and pushed past their limits!⚡️ Every event demanded teamwork, grit, and the warrior spirit to keep driving forward. This month’s challenge consisted of:

➡️ 125lb Sled Drag
➡️ 200 x Kettlebell Cleans (40lb)
➡️ 200 x T Push-ups
➡️ One brutal lap around Gauntlet Field carrying a litter loaded with water jugs (every Soldier on a handle!)

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heritage, Pushing Our Limits 🇺🇸

In honor of the 89th Military Police Brigade heritage, the Soldiers of the 720th MP Battalion laced up early and hit the ground at 0430 on August 6th for an 8.9-mile ruck march—each carrying a ruck weighing at least 35 pounds. This event tested endurance, discipline, and the pride we carry for our unit’s history.

A special congratulations goes to PVT Cody Ayers from the 411th MP Company, who completed the ruck in an impressive 1 hour and 41 minutes, earning a Certificate of Achievement for his outstanding performance.

Proud of our Soldiers who continue to honor the past while forging their own legacy. 💪

Today, the Soldiers of the Gauntlet took a powerful step toward building resilience and strengthening our formation by participating in Su***de Prevention Training with Overwatch+Project.

Led by instructor Billy Morgan, this impactful session sparked real conversations about mental health, the power of connection, and breaking the stigma around asking for help. Soldiers left the training equipped not only with knowledge, but with resources they can turn to—and the confidence to help others do the same.

Knowing where to go is just as important as knowing when to act. Whether it’s a battle buddy, chaplain, behavioral health, or the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline—help is always within reach.
