FEMALE CHALLENGERS
Is it for "Girls?"
​​
​
​​​
Absolutely...our young ladies kick butt!
​​
Young women make up approximately 18% of the Corps of Challengers each year, yet they consistently earn a disproportionately high number of awards—often about 34% of all individual honors.
​
At Extreme Military Challenge!, opportunities are based on performance, leadership, and character—not gender.
​
Unlike single-gender military programs, XMC believes young men and women should train together in a disciplined, professional environment that reflects the real world.
Our standards never change. In Cadet Ranger School, male and female candidates must meet the exact same graduation requirements. There are no separate standards and no modified evaluations.
Our female Challengers have repeatedly proven that determination, resilience, and leadership—not gender—define success.
Cadet Ranger SSG Bjørklund
EARNED...NEVER GIVEN!
In 2024, Helene Bjørklund, at 13-years-old, traveled from Norway to Camp Liberty and completed the demanding two-week Cadet Basic Training. When she graduated, she earned the title of "Cadet"—an accomplishment that immediately made her part of a special group.
​​​
But Helene’s journey that year was only beginning.
​​
She returned to Camp Liberty to complete the Cadet Military Police Academy and the winter Cadet Tactical Skills Training Course. In 2025, she successfully completed the two-week Basic Cadet Ranger School. The following year, she returned for Advanced Cadet Ranger School where she is known as "Viking" by her Battle Buddies.
​​
By completing both Ranger courses, Cadet SSG Bjørklund became one of only five females in history to earn the distinguished Cadet Ranger Beret.
​
From Norway to Camp Liberty, her journey reflects courage, commitment, determination and grit!​
