Nearly 70 service members from the West Virginia and District of Columbia National Guard and the Qatar Armed Forces participated in a series of water-based challenges at the National Service Academy in Doha, Qatar, as part of the first-ever Best Warrior Competition held outside the United States. The swimming event featured a range of physically demanding tasks, including a jump into the pool from a height of the competitors’ choosing, treading water for a full minute, a dive to retrieve a simulated weapon, and a distance swim while in uniform. Hosted from Feb. 2-5, 2025, the competition served as a platform to enhance military readiness, strengthen interoperability, and reinforce the enduring partnership established between West Virginia and Qatar in 2018.
