Composition
The traditional parts of the competition are:
- landing, in rubber boats, to a "hostile" shore;
- cross-country tactical movement and navigation, without night campdown, over a distance of around 150 kilometres while avoiding and escaping from "hostile" security forces;
- various (and varying over years) minigames during the course. These may involve grenade throwing, combat first aid and other military skills.
