Day 1 U.S Army Medical Command (MEDCOM) Soldiers complete the Army Combat Fitness Test during the MEDCOM 2021 Best Leader Competition, July 25, 2021, at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The competitors also were challenged during an oral board and also had to take a written test. To prepare for competition events that involve firing a weapon, the Soldiers also had to zero their guns---All on Day 1. The 2021 MEDCOM Best Leader Competition is happening July 25-30, 2021, at Schofield Barracks, (Oahu), Hawaii. Sixteen Soldiers from the MEDCOM’s four regions are enduring arduous combat-focused events such as a taxing obstacle course; night land navigation through the jungles of Schofield Barracks; simulated combat medical care; and weapons fire under stress. Each of them has hopes of becoming the MEDCOM’s Soldier or Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) of the Year. The winners will be announced at an award ceremony at Tripler Army Medical Center, in Honolulu on July 30. The winners will move forward to the Army’s Best Warrior Competition in the fall to compete to be the Army’s 2021 Soldier or NCO of the Year.
