Spc. Javan Cooper, an 11B infantryman assigned to the Virginia Army Natinal Guard’s 116th Mobile Brigade Combat Team, tests his marksmanship skills during the Region II Best Warrior Competition May 5, 2026, at Camp Dawson near Kingwood, West Virginia. The event required competitors to engage multiple targets at an unknown distance with an M4 carbine. The competition brings together Soldiers and noncommissioned officers from across the region for a multi-day competition. The top competitors from the regional competition will represent the region at the national level later this year in Florida. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Terra C. Gatti)
