KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany \u2013 A powerful indicator of an effective Army noncommissioned officer is her mastery of warrior tasks and skills, and Sgt. Margarita Ferreira recently demonstrated hers during the U.S. Army Sustainment Command Best Warrior Competition at Marseilles Training Center and Rock Island Arsenal, both in Illinois.<\/p>\n

Ferreira, a maintenance NCO at the 405th Army Field Support Brigade\u2019s headquarters in Kaiserslautern, represented the brigade well at the ASC competition, June 11-14. She and the other competitor, Staff Sgt. Jesse Johnston, were selected to move forward and compete in the next level of the competition at U.S. Army Materiel Command.<\/p>\n

During the ASC-level competition, Ferreira and Johnston were tested on their warrior tasks and skills, which included a physical fitness assessment, M4 carbine rifle zero, qualification and stress shoot, night-to-day land navigation, tactical combat casualty care, a timed 9-mile ruck march, and the Army Combat Fitness Test. All testing was done at the training center, except the ACFT, which was conducted at Rock Island.<\/p>\n

According to Ferreira, the hardest events were the physical fitness assessment and the stress shoot, but she said she loves a challenge and throughout the competition she worked hard and stayed motivated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very challenging. I feel so tired. I feel like my ruck sack kept getting heavier, but I made it. Once you start, you can\u2019t stop \u2026 I did it, and I feel good,\u201d said Ferreira. \u201cEvery single part of my body is in pain, but it\u2019s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team at brigade operations and everyone across the brigade headquarters are very excited that Sergeant Ferreira represented the 405th AFSB so well at the competition.
