U.S. Army Best Squad Competition
Soldiers of Squad Seven, representing the U.S. Army Reserve, prepare for the M240B machine gun lane during the Army's first-ever Best Squad Competition, held on Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Oct. 2, 2022. The "Squad" extends beyond a traditional infantry squad to any small-unit group of soldiers, connected by a squad leader, who has the most direct impact on their lives. Soldiers never fight alone, the unbreakable bonds forged through shared hardship and unending support for one another are the hallmark of our most successful small units. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.
