Volunteers congratulate a participant at the finish line during a Norwegian Foot March at Misawa Air Base, Japan, June 25, 2022. The March originated in 1915 for the purpose of exposing civilians and new military recruits to what it is like to be in the field, evolving to become a Foreign Service badge earned by completing the foot march standard.
