U.S. Army Garrison Ansbach planned and hosted the competition running from Feb. 28 through March 3 and was conducted on Katterbach and Bismarck kasernes and Oberdachstetten Training Area.
“Best Warrior showed our ability to plan and execute large scale training event here at Ansbach and really showcase our capability when it comes to training,” said 1st Sgt. Antonio Soto, USAG Ansbach Headquarters and Headquarters Company first sergeant and Garrison project officer for Best Warrior. “It helps us build a community relationship with our tenant units because USAG Ansbach HHC doesn’t have the breadth of manpower so cross coordination with our tenant units shows how great USAG Ansbach is being the best hometown in Europe and the support we get from 12th CAB (Combat Aviation Brigade) and 5-4 ADA (Air Defense Artillery Regiment).”
