Senior Airman Frank C. Hope, U.S. Air Force, uses his hands to pull himself across a rope stretched over a ravine during Tiger Challenge '99 at U.S. Army Camp Garry Owen, Republic of Korea, on July 6, 1999. The ravine crossing is one of the 18 stages of a Republic of Korea Special Forces obstacle course during Tiger Challenge '99. Hope is an enlisted terminal attack controller or ETAC from the 604th Air Support Operations Squadron, Republic of Korea. Tiger Challenge '99 is testing Hope and 19 other competitors on their ability to perform a variety of tasks drawn directly from their mission of close air support, calling in air strikes against the enemy in close proximity to friendly forces.
