I have heard of it. After some bunch of beer-bellied finnish reservist scored high on that competition, I kinda become sucpicius over it;)

Surely now you can start trolling forums with claims that the finnish reserves are the best soldiers in the world : )

I find it interesting that there were some PLA there though, they're a long way from Hainan Island. I was having a look to find out what unit they were from, but there isn't really much info on the website. Think they were line troops or from one of the elite units?

China started doing ERNA from 1998. It rotated each year between its military regions. The best showing was 2002, with 1st and 2nd place both won by Shenyang Military Region. In other years Estonia usually wins tops places, with China in the top third of 30 teams. In 2006 China did not send any teams. It would have been Nanjing MR's turn, the one facing Taiwan.

They were picked from reconnaissance units, the elite line troops. It's mostly a physical competition. I mean, to row rubber boats? ;)

As a proud member of that punch, I allready am:D :D

But dont get too exited over that competition, it hardly presents objectively the "ranking" of worlds militaries, not even the ones that participate annually. actual combat and ones performance in it is completely different from game-like situation.
