11 BASTROP, Texas - The Texas Military Department hosted this year’s Army National Guard Region V Best Warrior Competition at Camp Swift near Bastrop, Texas, May 3-7, 2021. Fourteen competitors from Texas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisiana and Missouri National Guards competed in events that test their combat readiness skills.
Traditionally, two Army National Guard Soldiers from each state compete in the annual event, but this year one lone Texas Air National Guardsman from 136th Security Forces Squadron in Fort Worth, stood amongst the competitors - Senior Airman Christopher Gangeme.
“Having the opportunity to take part in this competition is a very significant experience and it is important to have Air Guard representation next to the Army,” Gangeme said. “We often serve together, so this is a good opportunity for us to come together and build camaraderie with a little friendly competition.”
