Obstacle courses are used in physical fitness training to
teach physical skills, to improve conditioning, and to
instill a spirit of daring and confidence. The challenge
that obstacles offer helps to develop and test basic
skills. Success in combat may depend on soldiers'
ability to perform these skills.
There are two types of obstacle courses: the conditioning
obstacle course and the confidence obstacle course.
The confidence obstacle course consists of higher, more
difficult obstacles than those of the conditioning
course. The confidence course gives soldiers confidence
in their mental and physical ability and cultivates their
spirit of daring.
The conditioning obstacle course features low obstacles
and is run against time. Several fast runnings of this
course provide a vigorous workout; therefore,
conditioning occurs. You will learn the obstacles and how
to overcome them rapidly. You will first negotiate the
course at a controlled pace so you understand how to
properly negotiate each obstacle. Your second time
through the course will be in competition with your
fellow soldiers.
As you negotiate the various obstacles found on the
conditioning obstacle course, maintain a positive
attitude and prepare yourself to overcome your own
limiting physical abilities with the goal of completing
the obstacle course within standards, fulfilling the
value of personal courage. Show respect to fellow
soldiers by avoiding mention of another soldier's
physical attributes. Encourage others to complete the
physical training exercise to the best of their
abilities, demonstrating your own selfless service.
Encourage your fellow soldiers to push themselves during
physical training with the goal of meeting course
standards and improving your score at each attempt, also
fulfilling the obligations of selfless service. Upon
completion of the obstacle course, you will have
demonstrated the value of personal courage by mentally
overcoming the rigors of physical training, keeping
the goals of improved conditioning and increased
confidence foremost in your mind.
