What: The Vermont National Guard will host the Army National Guard’s Best Warrior Competition finals.
When: Competition goes from August 3 to August 8. Sunday, August 4, from 6:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. is the best window for media to attend.
Where: Ethan Allen Firing Range, 113 Ethan Allen Road, Jericho, VT.
Who: 14 competitors from New York, Virginia, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Missouri, Montana, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, Alabama, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Utah.
Why: The Best Warrior Competition is an Army tradition that annually tests soldiers and non-commissioned officers with various physical and mental military tasks. Winners proceed to higher levels of competition and receive “Soldier of the Year” and “Non-commissioned Officer of the Year” accolades for victory. Competitions are first held at each state level. The winner of each state goes on to regionals (there are seven regions in the country). The junior enlisted Soldiers and NCOs that win their respective region compete in the national finals.
For media to RSVP, please contact Maj. Mike Arcovitch (802) 734-1677 or mikel.r.arcovitch.mil@army.mil. There are a variety of great events happening throughout the course of the day and week. If you’d like to attend please let me know and I will coordinate what works best for your desired product and time frame.
