North Dakota Army National Guard 2023 State Best Warrior Competition

Twenty-eight North Dakota National Guard Soldiers from across the state and two Ghana Armed Forces Soldiers competed in the North Dakota Army National Guard 2023 State Best Warrior Competition (BWC) from Aug. 18 to 21, 2022, at Camp Grafton Training Center, near Devils Lake.
BWC is a grueling, four-day event that tests each Soldier both physically and mentally through a variety of timed events.
Sgt. Deyton Slama, 817th Engineer Company, won the non-commissioned officer category, and Sgt. Sean Jones, Recruiting and Retention Battalion, won the soldier category. They will represent North Dakota in the 2023 Region VI Best Warrior Competition held in Montana, in May 2023.
