U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Warrior Competition

U.S. Army units from across Europe converge to compete for the title of Best Warrior. The week-long event tests Soldier skills, endurance, fortitude and resourcefulness as well as intellectual and problem-solving capabilities. Officers, noncommissioned officers and junior enlisted Soldiers compete in separate categories and are evaluated on general military knowledge, physical fitness and common military tasks.

While some of the competition tasks are standard such as the Army Physical Fitness Test, written test, marksmanship, ruck march, land navigation and command sergeants major board; some of the challenges such as chemical defense and medical tasks - added to the stress of fitting everything into a few short days - makes the competition extra tough.

Winners in the NCO and junior enlisted categories will advance to represent U.S. Army Europe and Africa at the Army Best Warrior Competition at Fort Lee, Virginia.

For 10 years, the Engineer Research and Development Center’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) has been working on a national manual and data sheet to identify the Ordinary High Watermark (OHWM) across the United States.

The National Technical Committee for OHWM recently went out into the field to continue with testing the newly released interim draft of the data sheet. Researchers from CRREL the Environmental Protection Agency, and regulators from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers across the U.S. are going to different streams and rivers around Vermont to put the data sheet into use and critique the effectiveness of the manual.
