Paratroopers from the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division participated in the brigade's May Best Squad Competition on May 2, 2018.

The competition is a monthly contest to determine the top squad in the Panther brigade and often challenges the physical and mental fitness of the participants.

This month's competition required paratroopers to ruckmarch over 6 miles on Fort Bragg, taking them up and down Coolyconch Mountain while testing their communication skills and memory.
