Soldiers from the 551st Signal Battalion underwent Patriot Challenge III as part of the Battalion's effort to build esprit de corps and unit cohesion among members of its organization. Every quarter during holiday weekends, the battalion members gather to participate in these challenges. Events include litter carries, four Soldier Army Physical Fitness Test, ultimate football and basketball, volleyball, tug-o-war, crawling derby, and drill and ceremony competitions. Not only are Soldiers tested on their physical fitness endurance but also on their combat skills. Patriot Challenge IV will be conducted during the Memorial Day weekend. Patriots, Watch and Warn.
