Day 2 of the 10th Annual Warrior Competition for international Special Operations Forces teams in Jordan continued in the afternoon with the PIPE HITTER, writes Bob Morrison.
After finishing the gruelling GUT-CHECK distance event, with its incorporated casualty treatment and recovery incident, following a quick lunch all forty teams participating at the 10th ANNUAL WARRIOR COMPETITION moved to the shooting ranges at KASOTC (King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center). Here the teams would rely on their weapons skills rather than their stamina to earn points, engaging targets with both assault rifle and pistol and from different shooting positions.
