Nineteen Citizen-Soldiers from the Arizona community challenged themselves in this year's Arizona National Guard (AZNG) Best Warrior Competition (BWC), an intense, back-to-back series of Soldier skills evaluations held at National Guard training sites in Phoenix and Florence, Ariz. March 21-25, 2022. Soldiers ran through a gauntlet of events spanning five long days, ranging from an Army Combat Water Survival Test to a round-robin live weapons qualification on multiple weapons systems. The top contenders from Arizona's BWC will go on to represent their state at regional and national level competitions. Soldiers are the cornerstone of the AZNG foundation, and events like these strengthen the Soldiers and the foundations they represent; emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually (U.S. Army video by Sgt.
