Staff Sgt Henry Gbekle of 123rd Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, negotiates the swing-stop-and-jump obstacle during the Best Tactical Medic Competition August 21 as part of 1st Armored Division's Torch Week. Torch Week celebrates the great legacy of the 1st Armored Division, and honors past and present Iron Soliders of this historic division.
Nearly 100 Iron Soldiers from across 1st Armored Division competed for the title of Best Medic August 21-22 as part of Torch Week, a week-long celebration of the great legacy of the 1st Armored Division, honoring the Iron Soldiers of this historic division—past and present. Over the course of two days, 2- and 5- man teams faced a slew of challenges designed to promote unit cohesion and enhance esprit de corps, such as an Obstacle Course, a WWII-era fitness test, and even a swim test-- all while caring for and traveling on foot in and around Fort Bliss with a 175-pound simulated casualty, known as 'Rescue Randy'.
