Staff Sgt. Andrew Hardin, a combat medic specialist assigned to the 62nd Medical Brigade, Sgt. Aaron Tolson and Sgt. Tyler Fisher, combat medic specialists assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division, forge on through the 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.
