CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq -

 
Team members from the SGS section check their watches as they prepare to embark on their spirited venture as Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division and Multi-National Division - Baghdad embark on the "Amazing Race" on Camp Liberty April 12. The team-building event is part of a monthly competition amongst the different staff and special sections within the division's headquarters. To kick off the team-trial event, the five-person teams sprinted out of the gate at fifteen-minute intervals en route to various competitions throughout a roughly two-mile circuit. As the competitors hustled throughout the course, they faced a myriad of physical tests, to include conducting a litter carry, showing off their hoop capabilities in shooting free throws, and demonstrating their overall physical prowess at the bench press and, of course, everyone's favorites: push-ups and sit-ups. The clock didn't stop until the last teammate crossed the finish line. Claiming top honors for the event was the team from the ISF section. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Tim Butler, MND-B PAO)
