JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. -- Soldiers from across Dental Health Command-Pacific (DHC-P) participated in an Army Warrior Tasks and Battle Drill as one of several activities during the command's recent Best Warrior competition. Part of the tasks and drill involved donning chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) gear ahead of a tactical scenario. The competition took many dental Soldiers and noncommissioned officers out of clinics and their day-to-day duties and into the field to test their Soldier readiness.
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 warrior tasks and battle drill, a physical fitness test, weapons range, confidence course, egress exercise, day and night land navigation, 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.
