Fort Hood Soldier Spc. David Chambers, III Corps, was named the Soldier of the Year in the 18th annual Best Warrior Competition on October 14.
“You represent what we want in our soldiers: physically fit, dedicated professionals,” said the Army’s vice chief of staff and keynote speaker, Gen. Joseph Martin.
During the six-day competition, 22 soldiers from across the Army were tested on their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
“Even after I retire, I know the Army’s going to be in great hands because of the soldiers that competed in this event,” said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Grinston, who oversaw the competition.
