Excellence in Wales
“I couldn’t ask for a better group of guys to compete with. I have nothing but respect for this team. We all had to lean on each other and use our different skill sets to get the job done. Completing the Cambrian Patrol is an accomplishment in itself, and to be able to earn a medal with these guys is something special.”—Gavin Hudson ’26
For the second year in a row, the VMI Army ROTC Ranger Challenge team brought home the bronze medal at Exercise Cambrian Patrol (ECP), the British Army's premier international patrolling event hosted by the 160th Welsh Brigade. The event is considered NATO's most challenging patrol test.
