Twenty-four elite warriors are converging on Fort Lee, Va., for the Best Warrior Competition in which tough challenges, both day and night, will push their limits physically and mentally as they vie to be the best of the best. The Soldiers will be at Fort Lee, Nov. 19-22, for the competition. Two winners -- the Army Soldier of the Year and the Non-Commissioned Officer of the Year -- will be announced Nov. 22. Sgt.
