Congratulations to Fort Benning's 'Best Ranger' Team

The victorious duo winning the 30th annual compeition held over the weekend are assigned to Fort Benning’s Ranger Training Brigade.

Fourth time competitor, Sgt. 1st Class Raymond Santiago and first-time partner Sgt. 1st Class Timothy Briggs endured the challenge and were obviously well matchef for the gueling challenges.

The winning teams were recognized at an awards ceremony on Monday at 11 a.m. at Marshall Auditorium in McGinnis-Wickham Hall at Fort Benning.

Last year the winning team was from Fort Bragg's U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

The Best Ranger Competition was started in 1982 after Dick Leandri found a way to honor his personal friend, Lieutenant General David E. Grange, Jr.
