Thursday continued to be a busy day for the Army Reserve "Best Warriors", Staff Sgt. Francisco Gutierrez and Spc. David Obray.

In the afternoon, Gutierrez and Obray competed in two M4 qualification events - the daytime range and a stress fire range.

During the stress fire range, both competitors were required to evacuate a 200 lb. casualty manequin from a Humvee, drag the casualty to cover behind a brick wall and engage pop-up targets.

Then they moved the casualty behind a blown up car and engaged more pop-up targets in doors, behind walls.

All of this was done while the battle space was obscured with plenty of smoke on the lane.

After a brief bit of down time and a field-served meal, the Gutierrez and Obray will take on the always challenging night time M4 qualification range.
