The Army Axes its Best Warrior Competition as it Turns Focus to Squads
After two decades, the Army's Best Warrior Competition is over. Instead, this year will see the inaugural Best Squad Competition, as the service zeroes in on team building.
On Tuesday, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, the service's top enlisted leader, announced the new competition, which will kick off in September. The winning squad will be announced during October's Association of the United States Army, or AUSA, conference.
"For over two years, I've talked about the importance of building a cohesive team that is highly trained, disciplined and fit," Grinston said. "Now it's time to measure ourselves against that standard."
