Private 1st Class Zachary Nichols, a 13B in the 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery, 3rd Infantry Division, talks about his experience competing in the Gen. Raymond T. Odierno Best Redleg Competition 2024. He and his squad were crowned the Best Redlegs for their MOS on the M109 Paladin. They went through a week of grueling tasks, including the Army Combat Fitness Test, Peden Confidence Obstacle Course, ESB lanes, an 11.5-mile ruck, night infiltration and more.

The U.S. Army Field Artillery School (USAFAS) and the Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill (USAFCoEFS) hosted the inaugural 2024 GEN. Raymond T. Odierno Best Redleg Competition at Fort Sill, Oklahoma from May 9-14, 2024 to identify the top howitzer crews, fire direction centers (FDC) sections and fire support teams (FiST) from across the U.S. Army. Testing focused on Field Artillery fundamentals in a representative tactical scenario that promotes technical competence, professionalism and brilliance in the basics.

The Gen. Raymond T. Odierno Best Redleg Competition is an integral part of the Field Artillery Branch’s pursuit of excellence and continuous effort to enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the Field Artillery warfighter to provide timely and accurate fires. This inaugural event will focus on the fundamentals, promote esprit de corps and the exchange of best practices through healthy competition and rivalry.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
