Staff Sgt. Brandon High with the 3rd Battalion, 340th Training Support Battalion, earned the enlisted Best Warrior title during the 181st Multi-Functional Training Brigade’s Best Warrior competition in mid-September.
Capt. James Forbes with the 1st Battalion, 310th Brigade Engineer Battalion, earned the officer Best Warrior title in the same competition. High will represent the brigade at the First Army Division West competition in November.
