U.S. Army squads traverse Defenders Crossing during the U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Squad Competition at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany, Aug. 1, 2026. Soldiers maneuver as cohesive teams while negotiating the crossing, a timed, stress-driven test of tactical decision-making, communication and lethality, reinforcing each squad’s ability to operate effectively under pressure.
Teams from across U.S. Army Europe and Africa compete at Grafenwoehr through Aug. 6, 2026, for the title of Best Squad. The competition measures squad effectiveness, communication and cohesion, along with each Soldier’s technical and tactical proficiency, endurance and fortitude. Winners advance to represent U.S. Army Europe and Africa at the Army Best Squad Competition, where one noncommissioned officer and one junior Soldier from the top squad will earn the titles of the Army’s Best NCO and Best Soldier of the Year.
