Fox News
Some of the the United States Army’s most elite soldiers are on a mission to find out who is the best among them. After a year hiatus, due to the coronavirus, Ranger-qualified military members are once again taking part in the Best Army Ranger.
The grueling three-day team competition underway at Fort Benning will test soldiers physically and mentally as they work their way through a series of obstacle courses that simulate combat scenarios. On Friday, the competition kicked off early, at 6 a.m. The 52 two-member teams -- drawn from across the country and overseas -- bunched together at the starting point and got their legs moving on a 9-mile run. More than an hour later, the first teams could be seen crossing the finish line. Many appeared bright-eyed and full of energy, despite the rigors of the run.More Related News
