Preparing for the Maltz Challenge

Daniel Borowick, MS, CSCS, former DEA special agent

The Maltz Challenge a very challenging physical fitness event, honors Air Force MSGT Michael H. Maltz, a pararescue specialist with the 38^th Rescue Squadron, Moody Air Force Base, GA, 19 September 1960 – 23 March 2003, who perished in action with 5 fellow airmen during a medical evacuation of ill children in Southeastern Afghanistan.

Since 2006, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has paid tribute to MSGT Maltz through this challenge, and subsequently, since 2013, has furthermore paid tribute to fallen soldiers throughout the various branches of the United States Military.

Training for human performance? Coach Dan’s Muscular Endurance Program is built on exactly this kind of programming — written by a retired DEA Special Agent with 27 years on the job.
