    Drill Sergeant of the Year Competition

    Drill Sergeant of the Year Competition    

    The Drill Sergeant of the Year competition is one of the most physically demanding and mentally tough challenges any Soldier can face in a U.S. Army competition. For four days, these competitors must perform and master all associated tasks and drills from Basic Combat Training. To win, and be named the Drill Sergeant of the Year, they must not only be experts in training Soldiers, but also be the best of the best and rise above the competition.
