Dogface Soldiers from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team have spent countless hours preparing mentally and physically over the last four months across two continents for what will be one of the biggest tests of personal strength and endurance of their lives. First Lt. Jeremy Tuggle and 1st Lt. Austin Rutledge recently traveled over 7,000 miles from South Korea to compete against the rest of the Army’s most elite Rangers at the 37th Annual Lieutenant General David E. Grange, Jr. Best Ranger Competition, 16 through 18 April, at Fort Benning, Georgia.
The event is open to all qualified Rangers, but each division is allocated a select number of teams, so battalions must first battle it out to ensure the best of the best represent their division in the competition.
