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.

Nearly 20 Americans die from melanoma each day and it is estimated that more than 7000 deaths will be attributed to skin cancer in 2022 alone. With some thoughtful considerations like limiting exposure to the sun, wearing proper clothing, applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen to all uncovered areas, reapplying sunscreen after swimming or sweating, and generally being aware of the potential of sun damage, we can all continue to be healthy and safe. The Naval Safety Command provides defense-in-depth and ensures the naval enterprise is both safe to operate and operating safely.
