DAV Chapter 57

CHANGES TO 2026 VA PAY SCHEDULE.

Two enlisted soldiers took top honors in this year’s Best Ranger Competition, a grueling three-day event held at Fort Benning, Georgia. They are the most junior enlisted team to win the competition in nearly 40 years.

Spc. Caleb Godbold and Sgt. Drew Schorsch, both assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment, beat 60 other teams from across the Army to win the competition.

Godbold is the first specialist to win the event since 2023, a Fort Benning spokesperson said. Prior to that, specialists earned top spots in the competition in 2006, 1996, and 1988.

“It means a lot to represent the [Ranger] Regiment and everybody who came before us,” Godbold said in a statement to Task & Purpose. “We had a lot of support behind us, and we’re grateful for that. We’re proud we got it done, but we’re excited to get back to the team and get back to work.”
