BEST SAPPER 2012

摘要

One competitor described the competition as smashing the 28-day Sapper Leader Course into 53 hours of grueling tasks spread across Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Now two Soldiers have proven that they are the 2012 Best Sappers-Captain Michael P. Kendall Jr. and Staff Sergeant Frank E. Batts, 82d Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Brigadier General Peter A. (Duke) DeLuca, U.S. Army Engineer School commandant, watched the competition kick off with 38 teams in the early hours of 19 April and was impressed as he cheered on the final 10 teams pushing through the finish line early on 21 April.
