TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD BEST WARRIOR COMPETITION
The Best Warrior Competition is a rigorous three-day competition that tests the tactical and technical expertise of Soldiers and Airmen through scored events, such as an oral knowledge exam board, a tactical road march, obstacle course and physical fitness test, as well as “a mystery event” announced the day of the competition. Both Army and Air National Guard members compete against each other for the title of “Best Warrior” and “Best noncommissioned officer” in the state of Texas.
The winners of this Best Warrior competition will be named and honored at an upcoming banquet and will continue to represent Texas in regional and/or national Best Warrior competitions later this year.
The Best Warrior Competition is supported by the Military Forces Conference Foundation a 501 (c)(3) corporation formed to support conferences, meetings, events and gatherings of the National Guard of the United States. They are also supported by generous donations from corporate sponsors and local businesses throughout Texas.
THIS IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT!

BEST WARRIOR WINNERS 2024
In the heart of Bastrop, Texas, a symphony of valor and camaraderie unfolded—the Texas Military Department’s Best Warrior Competition (BWC). Warriors from the Texas Army and Air National Guard stood shoulder-to-shoulder with their counterparts from Chilean and Czech Armed Forces. Chilean and Czech Armed Forces have competed in the Texas BWC for several years, strengthening the partnership with Texas Guard members. Both Army and Air National Guard members compete against each other for the title of “Best Warrior” and “Best non-commissioned officer” in the State of Texas.
This year two women (SGT Lauren Christopher – 136th MEB and PFC Anna Bueno -36th Sustainment Brigade) qualified to represent their respective commands to compete for the Best Warrior title. Though gender is a way to distinguish them from the field, their outlook and determination on the competition itself was their most defining feature.
The Best Warrior Competition is a rigorous competition that tests the tactical and technical expertise of Soldiers and Airmen through scored events, such as an oral knowledge exam board, a tactical road march, obstacle course and physical fitness test, as well as “a mystery event” announced the day of the competition.
The winners will move on the represent Texas at the National Guard Bureau’s Region V Best Warrior Competition in Nebraska, May 12-17.
