the Department of the Army's best

00:07.849 --> 00:09.960
warrior competition brings the army's

00:09.960 --> 00:12.016
top 26 warriors to Fort lee Virginia

00:12.016 --> 00:14.127
for a single week of testing , battle

00:14.127 --> 00:16.293
drills and simulations . What a lot of

00:16.293 --> 00:18.238
people don't realize though is the

00:18.238 --> 00:20.349
amount of time and resources it takes

00:20.349 --> 00:22.182
to make the weeklong competition

00:22.182 --> 00:24.349
happened to put this all together . It

00:24.349 --> 00:26.571
starts at the end of this competition .

00:26.571 --> 00:28.571
We begin the process of next year's

00:28.571 --> 00:30.738
competition . We have a are after this

00:30.738 --> 00:33.510
within two weeks and we take the A . R .

00:33.510 --> 00:35.690
S . And we build from the soldiers ,

00:35.690 --> 00:38.970
the recommendations and we go higher .

00:38.980 --> 00:41.240
We want to go each year . We want to go

00:41.250 --> 00:43.139
bigger and better to make it more

00:43.139 --> 00:45.260
challenging , more rewarding and

00:45.260 --> 00:47.427
something that the competitors will go

00:47.427 --> 00:49.482
back into other organizations . That

00:49.482 --> 00:51.800
this is the best boy competition for

00:51.800 --> 00:54.670
sure Between three and 500 soldiers and

00:54.670 --> 00:56.837
civilians are involved in the planning

00:56.837 --> 00:58.781
and execution of the competition ,

00:58.781 --> 01:01.003
including those working hard during the

01:01.003 --> 01:03.114
events to maintain safety standards ,

01:03.114 --> 01:05.337
provide soldier care and keep the event

01:05.337 --> 01:07.337
running smoothly . Those who helped

01:07.337 --> 01:09.392
organize and oversee the competition

01:09.392 --> 01:11.392
also get a lot out of the event . I

01:11.392 --> 01:13.726
mean from the pentagon most of the time ,

01:13.726 --> 01:12.790
I don't get to see these soldiers and

01:12.790 --> 01:15.350
how they uh , interact with each other

01:15.360 --> 01:17.582
on a daily basis . So I'm really having

01:17.582 --> 01:19.804
fun and enjoying my position here right

01:19.804 --> 01:22.027
now . I'm learning a lot from the young

01:22.027 --> 01:21.480
soldiers . I'm just surprised the

01:21.480 --> 01:23.702
knowledge they have at such a young age

01:23.702 --> 01:25.647
already and I was very inspiring .

01:25.647 --> 01:27.869
That's what keeps me in the army to see

01:27.869 --> 01:29.980
these kind of things , reporting from

01:29.980 --> 01:31.758
Fort lee Virginia for the 2/100

01:31.758 --> 01:33.980

01:33.980 --> 01:36.091
Army Reserve . I'm Army sergeant stan
