Sgt. Austin Gomes and Staff Sgt. Anthony Musolino,
Summary
Sgt. Austin Gomes and Staff Sgt. Anthony Musolino, combat medic specialists assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, race to their next stop during the final event of the Army Best Medic Competition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, Sept. 25. Teams had to gather medical supplies at multiple points scattered across a map, which they would then use to treat a simulated casualty at their final destination.
Twenty-eight two-Soldier teams from around the world traveled to Washington state to compete in the finals to be named the Army’s Best Medic. The competition is a 72-hour test of the teams’ physical and mental skills in areas of physical fitness, tactical marksmanship, leadership, warrior skills and land navigation. Competitors must be agile, adaptive leaders who demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of medical, technical and tactical proficiencies through a series of hands-on tasks in a simulated operational environment.
