BSC evaluations continued as squads from NCOA Parks and 2nd MED BDE demonstrated proficiency in radio communication, gr***de employment, weapons maintenance, and Army combatives. These tasks demand precision and technical skill.

Reduced visibility and terrain didn’t slow them down. BSC competitors navigate through Land Navigation.

During BSC, the Expert Physical Fitness Assessment (EPFA) challenges squads with high-intensity tasks that test functional fitness and resilience. This event shows who can perform when it counts.

The Army Best Squad Competition is underway at the Noncommissioned Officer Academy Camp Parks, and our competitors from NCO Academy Parks and 2nd MED BDE are bringing intensity, precision, and cohesion to every event. This is where excellence meets ex*****on.

On Saturday, 18 October 2025, Soldiers from NCOA Camp Parks put discipline and the Warrior Ethos on full display while competing in the Mount Diablo Summit 30K & Half Marathon. Battling steep climbs, rugged terrain, and physical exhaustion, our Soldiers demonstrated the same mental toughness, resilience, and perseverance they bring to the profession of arms. This competition was a testament to discipline, relentless determination, and the unwavering refusal to quit.

Organization Day at Del Valle Regional Park on Friday, 3 October 2025, was a great reminder that our strength starts with our people. More than just a day at the park, Org Day is an Army tradition that builds unit cohesion, esprit de corps, and resiliency. Taking time to strengthen bonds and build trust directly enhances morale, teamwork, and mission readiness.
