Blanchfield Army Community Hospital at Fort Campbell recognized its top Non-Commissioned Officer and Soldier of the Year at an award ceremony at the hospital recently.
A release from BACH says Staff Sgt. Robert Baker, assigned to the Department of Nursing as the Mother Baby Unit NCO in charge, and Spc. Robbie Brockman, also assigned to the Department of Nursing, Mother Baby Unit, were named NCO and Soldier of the Year, respectively. NCO of the Year is awarded to a soldier in paygrade E-5 and above and the Soldier of the Year is awarded to a soldier in paygrade E-4 and below.
BACH officials note Baker and Brockman were selected after competing with seven other candidates from the hospital and outlying medical homes. The 13-hour competition run by hospital NCOs included land navigation, a physical fitness test, marksmanship, written exam and essay, oral board, and combat and trauma medical skills assessment.
Baker and Brockman, who will represent BACH, will train for the Regional Health-Command-Atlantic Best Warrier Competition later this year.
