U.S. Army soldiers from across Europe and Africa gathered in Germany to compete in precision shooting events as part of a “Best Squad Competition.”

The event, held at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, featured teams demonstrating their marksmanship with M4 rifles and M17 pistols. The competition is designed to test not only individual shooting skills but also teamwork, discipline, and unit readiness.

Army officials said the contest strengthens bonds between units stationed overseas while ensuring soldiers remain highly trained and prepared for real-world missions.

Events like this are part of the Army’s broader effort to promote combat readiness and identify top-performing squads within its ranks.
