1-296th INF Air Assault Development Program

Best Warrior Competition Representing with Pride

Right now, Warriors from across the ranks are stepping up, being tested mentally, physically, and tactically in the Best Warrior Competition where only the most disciplined and resilient stand out.

We want to recognize two outstanding Soldiers from the Air Assault Development Program Cadre who are currently in the fight:

SSG Montalvo Luis D.
SPC Ortega Joey

These Soldiers are not just competing they are representing everything our program stands for: grit, discipline, and excellence under pressure.

No matter the outcome, stepping onto that field already speaks volumes about your character and commitment to the standard.

💥 Stay focused. Stay aggressive. Trust your training.

Your team is behind you, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Air Assault! 🚁

Persistence isn’t loud. It’s showing up again after you already know how hard it’s going to be.

Setbacks happen. What matters is who gets back in line, tightens the chinstrap, and goes back to work. This Soldier did exactly that came back, put in the work, and earned his Air Assault wings this past Friday.

That’s grit. That’s discipline. That’s how goals get crushed.
Proud of you Carlos Lorenzo . Air Assault!

“We do not rise to the level of our expectations. We fall to the level of our training.”

Discipline is built in the small choices, one must tightening the standards, by pushing one more rep, finishing the ruck strong, studying when no one is watching.

When the mission gets hard, you won’t rely on hype.
You’ll rely on what you disciplined yourself to do every single day.

Train hard.
Train right.

Feel the fear. Do it anyway. Air Assauuuuuuult 🚁
