Elliot Pratt, assigned to D Company, 2-159th Aviation Reconnaissance Battalion, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, fires his M4 carbine rifle during a stress shoot lane at the 2014 U.S. Army Europe Best Warrior Competition, Sept. 15 at Grafenwoehr, Germany. The competition is a weeklong event that pushes Soldiers to the limits of their physical stamina, bearing, knowledge, adaptability and technical and tactical skills. The best warriors are ready and resilient Soldiers who live the Army values and lead from the front. Winners in the Soldier and noncommissioned officer levels of the USAREUR competition will go on to compete at the Department of the Army level at Fort Lee, Va., Oct. 6-10.
