Witt, left, California Army National Guard command sergeant major, join California representatives in the 2019 Army National Guard Region 7 Best Warrior Competition during the May 23 awards ceremony in Carson City, Nevada. Spc. Andrew Burns and Staff Sgt. Kory Simmons completed three days of rigorous mental and physical challenges. Simmons was commended for finishing first in the land navigation competition, as well as ending second in the tough 12-mile ruck sack march. Arizona’s Sgt. Kurt Van De Graaff took top honors in the noncommissioned officer category, while Utah’s Spc. Brenden J. Allen earned the Best Soldier honor. “Im extremely proud of our two California representatives. Staff Sgt Simmons and Spc. Burns took time out of their lives to dedicate themselves to training for the requirements and preparation for this very important event,” James said.
