    Pvt 1st Class Jeffery Vangilder, 4th Battlaion, 6th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, makes his way up an obstacle while one of his four teammates, Pvt Zachery Barbee, makes his way down. The two Iron Soldiers were part of a 5-man roster vying for the title of Best Tactical Medic during 1st Armored Division's Torch Week August 21.

    Nearly 100 Iron Soldiers from across 1st Armored Division competed for the title of Best Medic August 21-22 as part of Torch Week, a week-long celebration of the great legacy of the 1st Armored Division, honoring the Iron Soldiers of this historic division—past and present. Over the course of two days, 2- and 5- man teams faced a slew of challenges designed to promote unit cohesion and enhance esprit de corps, such as an Obstacle Course, a WWII-era fitness test, and even a swim test-- all while caring for and traveling on foot in and around Fort Bliss with a 175-pound simulated casualty, known as 'Rescue Randy'.
