Army Reserve Best Squad: The Heart of the Warrior

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

Soldier’s heart, lawyer’s mind

Soldiers from each of the United States Army’s three components partnered together to conduct a training exercise focused on paralegal and lawyer skills this week at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, in January 2020. The event was part of a Total Force Readiness Exercise (TRFX), which has several scheduled training cycles around the country throughout the year. TFRX was developed by the United States Army Reserve Legal Command to increase readiness levels for the Army’s legal career field. Legal Soldiers typically attend training exercises with a mission to facilitate services for other units. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Capt. Gurney F. Pearsall III)
