U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the South Carolina National Guard and representatives of the armed forces of Germany and Colombia negotiate through an obstacle course during the South Carolina phase of the Best Warrior Competition (BWC), at McCrady Training Center, Eastover, South Carolina, March 2, 2026. The BWC is a multi-day event organized in state, regional, and national phases that promotes excellence and resiliency in the National Guard. In 2026, the South Carolina phase of the BWC is held from the 2nd to the 6th of March. Throughout the event, all participants are challenged, both mentally and physically, in critical areas of emphasis encompassing individual combat skills and doctrinal knowledge. The core events common to all phases of the BWC are a ruck march, use and maintenance of weapons, combat medical care, marksmanship, and land navigation. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
