: the action didn’t slow down for a second. High tempo, high stakes, high impact. Catch the highlights and feel the intensity that carried the mission forward. 🔥

Squads from across U.S. Army Europe and Africa competed at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, from July 30 to Aug. 6, 2026, during the U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Squad Competition. The competition assessed squad effectiveness, communication and cohesion, as well as each Soldier’s technical and tactical proficiency, endurance and resilience. Teams advanced through a demanding series of events, including the Army Combat Fitness Test, live-fire ranges, day and night land navigation, the Iron Squad Challenge, Leader Reaction Course, squad situational training exercise lanes, a written exam and a formal board. Each event required Soldiers to perform under pressure, solve problems and operate as a cohesive squad. The winning squad advances to the Headquarters, Department of the Army Best Squad Competition and represents U.S. Army Europe and Africa at the Army-level competition. One noncommissioned officer and one junior Soldier from the winning squad will earn the titles of the Army’s Best NCO and Best Soldier of the Year, respectively. The competition showcased readiness, lethality, warfighting proficiency and teamwork across the formation.

Day 6 of the 2026 U.S. Army Europe and Africa was spent in squad situational training exercise lanes at Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, where teams moved through multiple tactical missions built to test leadership, communication, medical proficiency, tactical movement, and battle drills under realistic conditions.

Every movement mattered. Every call echoed across the tree line. Every squad fought to prove they have the grit, cohesion, and lethality to rise above the rest.

From July 30 to August 6, elite squads across the theater are locked in a contest of will and skill. Only one will earn the right to advance to the U.S. Army Best Squad Competition, where two Soldiers will stand alone as Army’s Best NCO of the Year and Army’s Best Soldier of the Year.

This is where excellence is forged. This is where the Army’s story is written.

🏆 What's on the Line?

From July 30 to August 6, the finest squads across the theater are competing for the ultimate bragging rights. Only one squad will advance to represent the command at the overall U.S. Army Best Squad Competition, where two standout individuals will be crowned:
