在经过多天的障碍赛道、负重行军和技术考验的严峻考验后，这些考验检验了人类的耐力和熟练程度，第75游骑兵团第3营的五人小队在周一的美国陆军协会年会暨博览会上被评为最佳小队。
After a multi-day gauntlet of obstacle courses, ruck marches and technical trials that tested human endurance and proficiency, the five-soldier squad from the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment was named the Best Squad during a ceremony at the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition on Monday.
自9月11日至19日，11个小队在佐治亚州本宁堡进行角逐，以争夺年度士兵、年度下士官和最佳小队的称号。
From Sept. 11 to 19, 11 squads battled at Fort Benning, Georgia, to earn the titles of Soldier of the Year, Noncommissioned Officer of the Year and Best Squad.
迈克尔·希尔德下士被授予陆军年度士兵称号，科林·道尔军士长被授予陆军年度下士官称号。此次宣布巩固了游骑兵团在陆军竞赛中的主导地位，该特种部队单位在过去四年内三次包揽了最后三项赛事。
Cpl. Michael Shield was named the Army’s Soldier of the Year, and Staff Sgt. Colin Doyle as the Army’s non-commissioned officer of the year. The announcement cements the Rangers as a dominant force within the Army competition, with the special forces unit sweeping the last three events in four years.
“第75游骑兵团是一个独一无二的部队，”道尔说，陆军新闻稿如是说。“我们每天只是专注于射击、小单位战术、医疗训练和机动性地上班工作。”陆军司令迈克尔·R·韦默军士长向希尔德和道尔以及最佳小队的其他成员颁发了奖项，该小队还包括威廉·马斯特斯军士、威廉·谢弗尔专列兵和马歇尔·加伦专列兵。
“The 75th Ranger Regiment is a one-of-a-kind unit,” Doyle said, an Army release states. “We simply show up to work every day focused on marksmanship, small unit tactics, medical training and mobility.”Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael R. Weimer presented the awards to Shield and Doyle, as well as to the soldiers that rounded out the best squad, which included Sgt. William Masters, Spc. William Schaeffer and Spc. Marshall Garren.
在八月被命名为陆军特种作战司令部顶尖小队并确保其在比赛中的位置后，这支五人小队发现自己陷入了本宁堡的泥泞之中。
After securing its place in the competition and being named the Army Special Operations Command top squad in August, the five-soldier squad found themselves in the muck and mire of Fort Benning.
在2026年的比赛中，项目包括体能评估、武器资格认证、医疗情景以及18.6英里的夜间徒步行军和障碍赛道。参赛者还体验了“前100码”演变，这取代了传统的“鲨鱼攻击”作为新兵开营第一天的项目，新闻稿如是说。这些士兵还完成了战斗水生存课程，操作并射击了M1A2艾布拉姆斯坦克，并通过与评审委员会的面试结束了比赛。
During the 2026 competition, events ranged from fitness assessments, weapons qualifications, medical scenarios and an 18.6-mile nighttime foot march and obstacle course. Competitors also experienced the “First 100 Yards” evolution that replaced the traditional “shark attack” opening day for recruits, the release said. The soldiers also completed the combat water survival course, loaded and fired from an M1A2 Abrams and rounded out the competition with interviews with review boards.
“陆军最佳班排竞赛很重要，因为它展示了全军各指挥部的准备情况，”盾牌说。“除此之外，竞赛是陆军的重要组成部分。谁不想成为第一呢？”这是两年来首次举办的最佳班排竞赛，此前年度竞赛因国会未能通过2026财年预算而导致“拨款中断”而在2025年被取消。
“The Army Best Squad Competition is important because it shows where the readiness of the different commands is at across the entire Army,” Shield said. “And on top of that, competition is a huge part of the Army. And who doesn’t want to be first?”This is the first Best Squad competition in two years after the yearly competition was canceled in 2025 due to a “lapse in appropriations” caused by Congress’ failure to pass a fiscal 2026 budget.
2022年，陆军游骑兵荣获最佳班排称号，并在次年包揽了全部三项奖项。2024年，美国陆军太平洋司令部的一个团队获得了最佳班排称号。
In 2022, Rangers earned the title of Best Squad and swept all three awards the following year. In 2024, a team from the U.S. Army Pacific won Best Squad.
