FORCE ATLANTIC ARE BACK!

This time, a mixed Army team will embark on one of the ultimate tests of physical and mental fortitude. For the first time ever, the British Army are entering a mixed team into the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. The 4 person mixed team comprising of 2 males and 2 females are rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean unsupported in December 2021. Over approximately 6 weeks the team will take on the ultimate challenge and row through the day and night to make the journey from La Gomera, Canary Islands to Nelson’s Dockyard, Antigua. Testing the teams physical and mental endurance the challenge will align with the Army’s ethos of challenge, adventure, teamwork and leadership.
