The Fort Jackson Pass takes you through the heart and into the woods of this spectacular military installation. Fort Jackson was established in 1917 to answer the call for fighting men trained in World War I. The fort was named in honor of Major General Andrew Jackson, a native son of the Palmetto State and the seventh president of the United States. Today, the facility covers 52,000 acres and is the Army's largest basic training center. In addition to hiking and mountain biking, this pass offers a great variety of flora and fauna. You can also see a platoon of soldiers during their daily drill.

Just as Julius Caesar crossed the point of no return during his fateful crossing of the Rubicon River in 49 BC. n. No., so did the leadership of the 193rd Infantry Brigade, stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, when it crossed Lake Weston.
Twenty-six command teams comprised of company commanders, first sergeants and chaplains throughout the 193rd 193rd Army were tested physically and mentally Dec. 8-9 during Rubicon Command Team 2016.
According to the organizer of the event, the purpose of the exercise is to Maj. Michael Kelly, 193rd Infantry Brigade, operations sergeant major, is to "exercise the leadership and combat capabilities of company command teams throughout the brigade while building esprit de corps among the various groups."
Over two days and one night, the teams walked almost 30 kilometers in unusually difficult weather conditions to complete nine events. Each event was kept quiet from the participants until the moment of conclusion. Including friendly team physical training, a walk, confidence course and even a river cruise.

Other than bragging rights and a chance to build camaraderie in the various command teams, there was no prize for first place. But this did not stop the participants of the challenge from giving their all for each event.
Capt. Brian Kriesel and 1st Sgt. Eric Basile, commander and first sergeant of the 120th Adjutant General Battalion's Fitness Training Company, respectively, took first place in the physical fitness training discipline with a time of 30 minutes, 51 seconds.
While they say they share confidence in the other's ability to stay on top, both expressed some reservations about finishing first in the remaining competitions.
Basile added: "The most important thing is that I am confident with my partner and I think we are a good team. We have to have fun no matter what."

While the brigade has tackled the Rubicon before, Kelly says previous challenges have not been of this magnitude.
"This is the first of its kind in the brigade that we know of," he said. "While we've done shorter Rubicons before with races and the like, this is the first multi-day event we've done."
By the second day of events, the psychological and physical effects of the endless activity combined with the bitter cold are noticeable to almost everyone involved.
"We started yesterday morning at zero five (5:00 a.m. EST) and went about 30 hours," said 1st Sgt. Michael Fletcher of Delta Company, 1st Battalion, 13th Infantry Regiment.

"My feet are kind of beat up right now. They actually feel like someone hit them with a hammer," he said. "I felt like I was starting to break down mentally and I said things I normally wouldn't."
