Airman 1st Class Matthew Rowe, 90th Missile Security Forces Squadron, struggles to do one more repetition of the four-man push up part of the Team Pain event of the Crow Creek Challenge. The challenge tests security forces' combat skills and physical and mental ability. Warren is the only Air Force base that has this specific challenge, and only Airmen with ranks of airman basic through staff sergeant can compete. This event requires the Airmen to do four-man push ups, carry a log a certain distance and then fireman carry each other back to the pit. Teams earn points for doing as many cycles as they can in the allotted time.
