FORT MCCOY, Wis.- U.S. Army Reserve Spc. Patricia Dempsey, who is assigned to the 395th Ordnance Company, Appleton, Wis., placed first in the enlisted category of the 646th Regional Support Group’s Best Warrior competition held at Fort McCoy on Sept. 23.
Dempsey is the daughter of Maria Rouse, Menasha, Wis., and Joel Dempsey, Fox Lake, Wis. She is an ammunition specialist in the Army Reserve.
The Army Reserve Best Warrior competition tests soldiers in several areas including physical fitness, basic Army skills and overall Army knowledge. This year’s events included an eight mile road march and a compass course, which required soldiers to calculate the direction and distance of several points on a map.
Dempsey will advance to the next level of competition, which will be held at Camp Dodge, Iowa, in November. She will represent the 646th RSG, based in Madison, Wis., during the event.
