Sgt. Zachary Babin, a practical nursing specialist assigned to the 44th Medical Brigade, pushes through an early morning rain during an Army Best Medic Competition 16-mile ruck at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, Sept. 26. The ruck began at 4 a.m. following a grueling overnight prolonged field care exercise and marked the beginning of the competitors’ final day.
Twenty-eight two-Soldier teams from around the world traveled to Washington state to compete in the finals to be named the Army’s Best Medic. The competition is a 72-hour test of the teams’ physical and mental skills in areas of physical fitness, tactical marksmanship, leadership, warrior skills and land navigation. Competitors must be agile, adaptive leaders who demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of medical, technical and tactical proficiencies through a series of hands-on tasks in a simulated operational environment.
