Best Sapper Team

Congratulations to Army Engineer Sappers, Captain Jason Winkelmann and Lieutenant Joel Groves assigned to the 8th Engineer Battalion, Fort Hood, TX for taking First Place during the grueling week-long Best Sapper Competition conducted earlier this month at Fort leonard Wood, Missouri. The competition was sponsored by the Engineer School and the 577th Engineer Battalion, and included a wide range of difficult engineer tasks, all both mentally and physically challenging. Over 30 teams from throughout the force participated.
