U.S. Soldiers assigned to 1st Battalion, 589th Field Artillery Regiment, 41st Field Artillery Brigade conduct patrol lanes as part of the 41st FAB best squad competition on Grafenwoehr Training Area, Bavaria, Germany, April 10, 2025. During the patrol lane, Soldiers conduct movement to contact and are under fire from a simulated enemy position. Soldiers then assemble, load, program the radio and conduct a line of sight radio check and correctly transmit a spot report. The Best Squad Competition tests Soldiers on their individual and collective ability to adapt to and overcome challenging scenarios that test their physical and mental endurance, technical and tactical abilities and basic warrior skills under stress and extreme fatigue.
