FORT BLISS, Texas - Staff Sgt. James Ferrone, a cavalry scout assigned to 2nd Squadron, 13th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division and native of Naperville, Illinois, performs the deadlift portion of the Army Combat Fitness Test during the 1AD Best Warrior Competition, May 15. The ACFT was conducted shortly after a 12-mile ruck march and was included in the competition to test the physical strength, endurance and agility of the participating Soldiers. The competitors had to pass each of the six events of the ACFT, including the three repetition maximum deadlift, standing power throw, hand release push-up, sprint-drag-carry, leg tuck and two-mile run events as they pushed themselves in order to win the titles of 1AD Soldier and Noncommissioned Officer of the year. Ferrone won the competition along with Spc. Gage Paraschos, a cavalry scout assigned to Troop C, 2-13 CAV, whose hometown is Mount Bethel, Pennsylvania, demonstrating excellence in knowledge, skills and physical fitness.
