Operation MILE (V)
One mile. One chance. One standard.
 
Overview
Operation MILE is the entry point to the Green Beret Fitness Number Series. It establishes the baseline. One distance, one movement, rising demand. Nothing extra.
 
The Standard
Complete 1 mile.
Every minute on the minute, perform burpees.
Minute 1: 1 burpee
Minute 2: 2 burpees
Minute 3: 3 burpees
Continue until the mile is complete.
The clock never stops.
 
Tiers
CSS, No ruck
CS, 10 lb ruck, removed for burpees
Combat, 20 lb ruck, removed for burpees
Commando, 30 lb ruck, removed for burpees
 
Integrity
Operation MILE is completed on the honor system.
If you claim a tier, you are stating that you met the standard exactly as written. No one will check. No proof is required.
 
The value of the patch comes from the standard, not from enforcement.
