JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. -- Soldiers from across Dental Health Command-Pacific (DHC-P) participated in egress training as one of several activities during the command's recent Best Warrior competition. In a pool and timed environment, each Soldier had to navigate a simulated HMMWV rollover and successfully exit the mock vehicle.
The competition brought together seven competitors -- three noncommissioned officers and four Soldiers -- from dental units all over the Pacific -- Japan, Alaska, Korea, JBLM and Hawaii. It included the egress exercise, a physical fitness test, weapons range, confidence course, day and night land navigation, Army Warrior Tasks examination, combatives, a road march and an oral board.
Sgt. Harold Cortes, supply noncommissioned officer for Torii Station Dental Clinic Okinawa, U.S. Army Dental Health Activity Japan; and Spc. Conrad Norman, 618th Dental Company (AS), 65th Medical Brigade in Korea; were recently named the DHC-P's Best Warriors following a late February competition at JBLM that identified the best noncommissioned officer and Soldier competitors. The winners of the RHC-P competition will represent the region at the Army Medical Command Best Warrior competition July 24 to 28. The winners of that competition will compete in the 2017 Department of Army Noncommissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year competition Oct. 2 to 11.
