The competition is a weeklong event that pushes Soldiers to the limits of their physical stamina, bearing, knowledge, adaptability and technical and tactical skills. The best warriors are ready and resilient Soldiers who live the Army values and lead from the front. Winners in the Soldier and NCO levels of the USAREUR competition will go on to compete at the Department of the Army level at Fort Lee, Va., Oct. 6-10.
