Members of a Colombia Special Operations team lift themselves across one of 10 obstacles in the Fuerzas Comando 2014 final event, July 29, at Fort Tolemaida, Colombia.
Each of the 17 teams from nations throughout the Western Hemisphere had to clear the entire course in the best time possible, with the winner earning 300 points to their tally - only the shoothouse carried a similar weight in points -- the other events had a maximum of 200. T
he Fuerzas Comando competition was first established in 2004, and continues to build the required capacity to confront common threats that cannot be defeated by traditional military means alone.
