From the pre-dawn hours to after the sun dipped below the horizon, the
Army's finest warriors were pushed to their limits both physically and mentally
during the first day of the Army's 2013 Best Warrior Competition. The 24 Soldiers, who began the day with an
early morning physical fitness test, said they expected the unexpected on the
first day of competition, Nov. 20, but were still surprised.
"It was challenging, to say the least," said Sgt. 1st Class Jason Manella, with the Army Reserve's B Company, 445th Civil Affairs Battalion. Soldiers were on their feet all day, trekking for miles over gravel, in fields and through woods with their weapon and gear to the various competition sites, where they completed warrior tasks and battle drills. "They definitely put us to the test today," Manella said.
Even though it is a competition, there is definitely camaraderie, he said. Soldiers helped each other just as they would on the battlefield. Read the rest of the story on link below.
