Staff Sgt. Rodrigo Villezcas, a Fire Support Specialist with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Division Artillery, maxes the deadlift during the Army Fitness Test at the 2026 Best Redleg Competition at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, May 4, 2026
The Best Redleg Competition is an annual event that tests the technical skill, physical endurance, and tactical proficiency of Field Artillery Soldiers—known as Redlegs since the Civil War, when artillerymen wore red‑striped trousers. The competition honors the heritage of the Field Artillery branch by reinforcing mastery of gunnery tasks, building esprit de corps, and recognizing the Soldiers who best uphold the standards of the ‘King of Battle’.
