Conditions Set. Skills Validated. . . . Under the challenging conditions of Combined Resolve last month, Soldiers from Joint Company "Blavens", 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, were able to conduct multiple unique sling load and aerial resupply operations across the battle space under predetermined time constraints. Throughout their rotation, the Blavens have continuously "done the thing" which has helped the brigade to become more adaptive, responsive, and lethal in support of V Corps ground forces across the European theater.

🔥 A week of grit. A squad that rose above. Soldiers from the 21st Theater Sustainment Command pushed through a relentless series of trials during the 2026 Best Squad Competition at Grafenwoehr Training Area, April 19–24. From warrior tasks and battle drills to marksmanship, medical lanes, land nav, obstacle courses, knowledge exams, and a no‑fail patrol lane, squads were tested under the same pressure and complexity they’d face in large‑scale combat operations. One squad emerged on top, earning the title of 21st TSC’s Best Squad and securing their spot to represent the command at the U.S. Army Europe and Africa Best Squad Competition. The road ahead only gets tougher as top teams across the theater fight for a chance to advance to the Department of the Army level later this year. 🎥 Sgt.
