The 1st Cavalry Division will host an award ceremony to recognize the Best Medic Competition winners after a grueling 3-day competition Oct. 21 at 2 p.m. on Cooper Field at Fort Hood (Now designated Fort Cavazos), Texas.

The Best Medic Competition is a culminating event and competition for all medical Soldiers to promote excellence and proficiency in all subject areas of Tactical Combat Casualty Care, Prolonged Field Care and Patient Evacuations.

The competition tested competitors, both physically and mentally, who represented their brigade to earn the title of Fiscal Year 2022 1st Cavalry Division Best Medic.

Six two-man teams, four from 1st Cavalry Division and two from 1st Medical Brigade, competed for a chance to represent their organization at the CSM Jack L. Clark Jr. US Army Best Medic Competition, the Army level competition, in January 2022, here at Fort Hood (Now designated Fort Cavazos), Texas.
