The 200th Military Police Command’s squad emerged victorious at this year's Army Reserve Best Squad. The squad included Staff Sgt. Christian Leonard, Sgt. Aaron Court, Spc. Serge Fenn, Pfc. Luke Griguolo and Pvt. 2nd Class Seth Stetz, demonstrated resilience and exceptional teamwork to secure the annual top honor. Cpl. Alexander Clark of the 416th Theater Engineer Command was named NCO of the Year, and Spc. Toby Chapman of the 79th Theater Sustainment Command was named Enlisted Soldier of the Year.
What forges the heart of the warrior? It's the ability to strive forward when there's nothing left to give, it's the will to pull your team around you when the stress is high. Seventy-five warriors in 15 squads competed to see who the best of the best was. They left everything on the field, and each one proved themselves a warrior. #BSC2025 #ArmyBestSquad
