    Spc. John Sanchez, 47, New Mexico National Guard, despite challenging for the lead almost half of the foot march, dropped off on the back end of the mountain but makes up for it here as he sprints the final steps to the finish line. Army National Guard NCOs and Soldiers competing in the 2012 Region VII Best Warrior tournament at Camp San Luis Obispo, Calif., completed their mystery event of water survival and almost immediately pack their rucks to minimum weight requirements and put rubber to earth for a distance unknown to them. In the end they would travel approx. six miles within the camp and trudge up and over numerous hillsides, drop down into the range area and finish at their next task: weapon firing. Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah sent their two best warriors to the Golden State April 23-26 to pit their abilities against the best for that region. The temperatures were just right and each troop found out if they had enough energy, water and the proper break-in on their boots. (Army National Guard photo/Master Sgt. Paul Wade)
