The best North Carolina National Guard engineers compete at the 105th Engineer Battalion Sapper States Invitational, held at Fort Bragg, N.C., Sept. 12 - 13. Six trials of brain and brawn hide in a 1-kilometer circle in the woods and hills of the fort. Competitors do not know what the tasks are until they navigate to each station using map and compass. “It fits the Sapper mentality, you do not know what you have to do in combat so it keeps you always ready,” said 2nd Lt. Christopher Shannon, a platoon leader with the NCNG’s 151st Mobility Augmentation Company.
