U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the South Carolina National Guard and military representatives of the armed forces of Germany and Colombia take part in a 12-mile ruck march during the South Carolina phase of the Best Warrior Competition (BWC) held at the McCrady Training Center, Eastover, South Carolina, March 4, 2026. The BWC is a multi-day event organized in state, regional, and national phases that promotes excellence and resiliency in the National Guard. Generally, National Guard competitors are selected at the battalion level to compete for the brigade title. The successive phase is the state BWC, followed by regionals and nationals. 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, the use and maintenance of weapons, combat medical care, marksmanship, and land navigation. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt.
