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.

MAJ. Christopher Jones, Autonomous Resupply Use Case Lead, and SGT. Kyle Stone, Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicle Operator, discuss the Semi-Autonomous Resupply Operations at Project Convergence at Yuma Proving Grounds on October 26, 2021.

Project Convergence is the Army's campaign of learning designed to aggressively advance and integrate our Army's contributions, based on the continuous structed series of demonstrations and experiments throughout the year. It ensures that the Army is part of the joint fight and rapidly and continuously integrate or converge across all domains: air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace; to overmatch our adversaries is competition and conflict.

In a multi-domain operational environment, we will demonstrate more than one hundred technologies; including artificial intelligence, unmanned vehicles, precision fires and network lethality that augments human sensing and decision making to inform Commander Directors and include the war fighter’s lethality and pace in battle.

Project Convergence ensures the Army has the right people with the right systems are properly enabled in the right places to support the joint fight.
