The Best Ranger Competition 2008, is the 25th anniversary of this grueling athletic competition, starring the best athletes of the world, our United States Army, RANGERS! The competition has evolved over the past twenty-five years from one that was originally created to salute the best two-man “buddy” team in the Ranger Department at Fort Benning to determine the best two-man team from the entire United States Armed Forces. The Best Ranger Competition is held on Fort Benning and is open to the public.
