ANNUAL MURPH CHALLENGE

We invite you to participate in the annual Memorial Day Murph workout, held this year on Wednesday, May 29th at 0600 on Fort Mcnair! This event is organized and led by NWC faculty and class of 2018, Col Al Leth. Please note that the following workout is intended to be scaled to your ability, and the vest is optional.

Workout and Background
Named for Lt. Michael Murphy who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, after exposing himself to enemy fire and knowingly leaving his position of cover to get a clear signal in order to communicate with his headquarters.

He provided his unit’s location, requested immediate support for his element, and then returned to his position to continue fighting until he died from his wounds.

This workout has become a tradition of remembrance for fallen comrades of all services and agencies.

When: Wednesday, May, 29, 2024 @ 0600
