Concept of Operations
Situation:
On 16 DEC 1944, the Germans launched a counteroffensive in response to the Allied Forces’ successful D-Day invasion and advancement into the Ardennes Region of France. It was the last major German offensive of World War II and it lasted 5 long, very cold weeks, ending 25 JAN 1945 in the Allies’ favor. But it came at a heavy cost. The US Army reports roughly 19,000 U.S. soldiers died, 47,500 were wounded, and more than 23,000 were missing.

You can run/walk the 5 miles as an individual or grab 2, 3, 4 or more friends to run/walk it as a team by splitting up the 5 miles.
