00:04.540 --> 00:06.651
the Iron Eagle challenges how monthly

00:06.651 --> 00:08.670
at bagram Airfield , it's a test of

00:08.670 --> 00:10.614
human endurance , going beyond the

00:10.614 --> 00:13.030
traditional PT test of push ups , sit

00:13.030 --> 00:15.660
ups and the two mile run for army

00:15.660 --> 00:17.827
captain john Pagliaro of the siege , a

00:17.827 --> 00:19.716
surgeon's office . It's not about

00:19.716 --> 00:21.938
winning the event . It also promotes in

00:21.938 --> 00:23.938
our office camaraderie a real prove

00:23.938 --> 00:26.160
people from my office . We just want to

00:26.160 --> 00:28.049
come out and do it the other . It

00:28.049 --> 00:30.216
wasn't so much about passing as it was

00:30.216 --> 00:32.382
not quitting and just a group effort .

00:32.382 --> 00:34.271
According to Army Master Sergeant

00:34.271 --> 00:36.030
Michael Crawley , CJ 35 Future

00:36.030 --> 00:38.197
operations non commissioned officer in

00:38.197 --> 00:40.120
charge . As the test progresses ,

00:40.130 --> 00:42.352
instead of getting weaker , you have to

00:42.352 --> 00:44.574
get stronger . The push ups is probably

00:44.574 --> 00:46.741
the easiest one because it's the first

00:46.741 --> 00:48.963
event you have the most to drilling and

00:48.963 --> 00:51.130
everything pumped up . But the problem

00:51.130 --> 00:53.297
is the next event . The setups is it's

00:53.297 --> 00:55.186
very difficult because there's no

00:55.186 --> 00:57.297
arrest . The running is what you need

00:57.297 --> 00:59.408
to recover from both the push ups and

00:59.408 --> 01:01.574
sit ups so that when you come back you

01:01.574 --> 01:01.130
can do pull ups and books and becoming

01:01.130 --> 01:03.400
an idea though . No 11 . This time ,

01:03.560 --> 01:05.727
participants will be back to try again

01:05.727 --> 01:07.616
pushing their physical and mental

01:07.616 --> 01:09.616
limits to obtain the honor of being

01:09.616 --> 01:11.820
called an Iron Eagle reporting from

01:11.820 --> 01:14.280
Bagram Airfield . I'm specialist Denise
