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.

—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
