It’s a four-peat for Penn State’s Army ROTC program.

The team won the 2nd Brigade Ranger Challenge Competition, Nov. 9 and 10 at Fort Dix, N.J., for the fourth year in a row. An annual competition for 42 ROTC units in the northeast, the event is a regional qualifier for the annual Sandhurst Military Stakes Competition held in April at West Point, N.Y. Last year, the Penn State squad bested all other American and ROTC squads in the international competition.

The Cadet Command's 2nd Brigade, headquartered at Fort Dix, is responsible for Army ROTC programs in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
