Twenty Army National Guardsmen from eight states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, state leaders, families and friends, attended and awards ceremony concluding the Region Three Best Warrior Competition (BWC) at McCrady Training Center, Eastover, South Carolina, April 26, 2025. Spc. Jaden T. Hughes from Alabama earned the title of Best Soldier and Sgt. Matthew P. Golden from Florida earned the title of Best Noncommissioned officer. The Regional BWC is a multi-day event promoting excellence and resiliency among all National Guard Soldiers. The weeklong event challenges the mental and physical strength of each competitor, while testing their individual combat skills and doctrinal knowledge. The event consists of a 12-mile ruck march, several weapon use and maintenance tasks, combat medical-care simulations, marksmanship ranges, and land navigation. At the end of the competition, the highest total-scoring lower-enlisted Soldier and noncommissioned officer (NCO) are nominated winners of the Regional BWC and will continue to the national level.
