This Marine unit is the most physically fit in the Corps — at least for 2019
It is official, the fittest unit in the Marine Corps is the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, based in Camp Pendleton, California, winning the Corps’ Superior Unit Physical Fitness Award.
The new award, only in its second year, is given to the unit with the highest combined average Physical Fitness Test and Combat Fitness Test score, according to the Marine Corps.
Units that have any Marines fail either of the tests, or not perform a required test, are eliminated from the competition, Capt. Samuel Stephenson, a Marine Corps spokesman, told Marine Corps Times Friday.
