The original intent of the march was to ensure the Army could quickly move large numbers of soldiers with their essential gear and weapons over long distances and remain combat-ready at their objective. Today, the march is still practiced by the Norwegian military but also used to promote long distance hiking and physical fitness among Norway’s allies
