KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- It started with 13 eight-person teams represented by Airmen, Sailors, and Soldiers. All competing for the chance to claim this year's title as the Battle of the Services Fitness Challenge Winner.

At the end of the elimination round, which consisted of four person push ups, sit ups, and a litter carry relay, the top six teams advanced to the final challenge, an intense fitness course that started with a 3,200 meter relay run. Two hundred pound tire flipping, crab walking, and ammo can lifting added to the physically demanding course and only one team came out on top, the Naughty Niners of the 390th Intelligence Squadron.
