Soldiers began the U.S. Army’s Best Warrior Competition 2015 Oct. 4 by zeroing an M4 Carbine on a 25-meter indoor range.
During the week-long competition, competitors will take a physical fitness test and demonstrate their proficiency in the Army’s 40 Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills.
Participants must also complete a written essay to demonstrate communications skills and cope with a mystery event that’s designed to see how well they can think on their feet while under both physical and mental stress.
