About this event
INGRESS URBAN OPS
This is a competitive event. Competitions during Urban Ops will be between the two teams, Resistance vs. Enlightened.
Point totals from Urban Ops and the outcomes of the team competitions will greatly affect the outcome of the Tournament ("anomaly"). For your faction, there is strength in numbers and in diversity. This is more a mental challenge than a physical one.
- Physical requirements for Urban Ops are low, though it is more challenging and occurs at a faster pace than normal Anomaly gameplay.
- It is accessible to all Agents who are capable of moving several miles within the allotted time frame. As a team, all Agents have strengths they can contribute toward a successful outcome.
- To receive your Anomaly badge and memorabilia, you must also register separately for the Anomaly through Niantic registration.
- Urban Ops will end NLT 1:00pm local time.
WHAT TO BRING:
- A rucksack or backpack (any kind will do, but of course we recommend GORUCK gear)
- 20 LB Weight Requirement (Ruck Plates recommended)
- Water, 2L minimum (hydration bladder recommended)
- Ruck Bands on your ruck
- Your Ingress Scanner
- Headlamp with extra batteries
- As a team, you will also need at least one flag for your faction. Host country flags are always welcome but not required.

Event Cadre
Cadre Hand
Cadre Hand loves America, “Old Glory”, and a cold beer after issuing a good GORUCK beatdown. Aaron is dedicated to building better Americans through Special Forces based teamwork (and tough love). Aaron is a U.S. Army Veteran and civilian DOD Emergency R.N. who has 33 years of combined Federal service, with 21 years of military service, including 13 years of Special Operations experience as an Airborne Ranger Sniper in the 3rd Ranger Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment (3/75) at Fort Benning Georgia and as a Green Beret communications expert with 2nd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (2/5) at Fort Campbell Kentucky. Cadre Hand can hit ‘em from a mile away, and patch up the wounded, while calling in an airstrike. These days he likes to focus on GORUCK team challenges, teaching teamwork and leadership under stress.
He has deployed to Somalia, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt and Panama.
