Situation
Operation TAB is an incredibly challenging event that pushes candidates to their physical and mental limits, covering 12 miles with an 80-pound pack. Modeled after the British Army's Tactical Advance to Battle (TAB), this event mirrors the demanding standards set for soldiers in combat roles, where endurance, strength, and resilience are paramount. The loaded march tests the ability to move swiftly and efficiently under heavy load across varied terrain, simulating real battlefield conditions. With its roots in military training, Operation TAB requires not only brute strength but also mental fortitude to endure the discomfort and fatigue, making it one of the most grueling tests of endurance and determination.
Mission
Candidates must carry 80 lbs (dry weight) and complete the 12 mile route in under 4 hours to pass and under 3 hours to earn the GBF Operation TAB Dog Tag. The winner will earn the elite Gold Dog Tag.
