The Drill Sergeant of the Year Competition

The Drill Sergeant of the Year competition is one of the most physically demanding and mentally tough challenges any Soldier can face in a U.S. Army competition. For five days, these competitors must perform and master all associated tasks and drills from Basic Combat Training. To win, and be named the Drill Sergeant of the Year, they must not only be experts in training Soldiers, but also be the best of the best and rise above the competition.
Six of the Army's best trained, noncommissioned officers from across the nation will be traveling to Fort Jackson, S.C., in September to compete for the title of U.S. Army Drill Sergeant of the Year. The competitors include four active-duty and two U.S. Army Reserve drill sergeants. One winner will be selected from each service component.
The final event of the week is the awards ceremony at the Fort Jackson NCO Club, 5700 Lee Road, Fort Jackson, S.C. The participants will not know who the winner is until the announcement is made at that event. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
