FORT BLISS, Texas - Iron Soldiers assigned to 1st Armored Division prepare to begin a 12-mile ruck march as part of the 1AD Best Warrior Competition, May 15. The competitors each had to carry a 35-pound rucksack over a predetermined course at Fort Bliss as fast as they could, with the finishers ranging from a time of 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours for completion. The ruck march was the first event of the competition, setting the stage for the Soldiers as they competed for the titles of 1AD Soldier of the year and Noncommissioned Officer of the year. This year's competition was won by Staff Sgt. James Ferrone, a native of Naperville, Illinois and cavalry scout assigned to Troop B, 2nd Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, and Spc. Gage Paraschos, a native of Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania and cavalry scout assigned to Troop C, 2-13 CAV, who demonstrated their knowledge, skills, physical fitness and perseverance throughout the competition, representing 1AD's continued dedication to excellence.
