The 12 mile ruck is a popular functional fitness assessment because it's a required test to pass Army special operations selection.In Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP), candidates must complete a 12 mile ruck in less than three hours (15 minutes per mile). Their rucks will weigh over 35 LBS. The demands of special operations selection programs make even the toughest candidates struggle to meet the standard.
It's a serious military litmus test to separate those who do have what it takes from those who don't.
