The week-long competition evaluates each squad on their technical skills, tactical proficiency, and ability to operate as a disciplined, cohesive team. Events include a wide range of fitness and combat-related challenges, such as the Army Fitness Test, weapons lanes, a demanding six-mile foot march, individual warrior tasks, and squad battle drills. The top-performing team will advance to Hawaii to represent their unit at the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Best Squad Competition.
