U.S. Soldiers from Hawaii, Alaska, Korea and Japan are testing their Army aptitude by conquering urban warfare simulations, board interviews, physical fitness tests, written exams, Warrior tasks and battle drills relevant in today’s operating environment.
The elite event has been described as the Super Bowl of Army competitions. Competitors represent the top soldiers of the various regional commands of U.S. Army Pacific, and come together each year during this time to see who is the best of the best.
