CAMP SMITH TRAINING SITE, Cortlandt Manor, N.Y. — Two hundred and eleven New York National Guard Soldiers and Airmen tackled the rugged trails of the Hudson Highlands Aug. 28 to earn the Royal Danish Air Force March ribbon. The event, hosted by the 53rd Troop Command, required participants to carry a 23-pound pack on a 20-kilometer (12.4-mile) course. The march was sanctioned by the Royal Danish Air Force’s A7 Training and Exercises Office as a decentralized host site for its annual endurance trial, known as the Flyver March. According to the Danish Air Force, more than 45,000 American service members took part in the event in 47 states and 27 countries, Stars and Stripes reported. First established in 2021 at Karup Air Base in Denmark as an initiative to build camaraderie across military branches, the march has since expanded to international partner military host sites. Under Danish regulations, remote host installations must field at least 50 military participants to conduct an official iteration. The New York turnout of 211 actively serving Army and Air National Guard members far exceeded that standard. A smaller contingent of New York service members completed the march the following day at Hancock Field Air National…
