Army Trials at Fort Bliss
U.S. Army 1st Lt. Chris Parks (right) Warrior Transition Unit, Fort Hood, Texas, is grateful for the repeat opportunity to try and make the Army team at the U.S. Army Trials but more thankful for the opportunity to act as a mentor at Fort Bliss, Texas, in preparation for the 2016 Army Trials. More than 100 wounded, ill and injured Soldiers and veterans are at Fort Bliss to train and compete in a series of athletic events including archery, cycling, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, track and field, and wheelchair basketball. Army Trials, March 6-10, are conducted by the Army Warrior Transition Command and help determine who will get a spot on the Department of Defense Warrior Games 2016 Army Team. Approximately 250 athletes, representing teams from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Special Operations Command and the British Armed Forces will compete in the DoD Warrior Games June 14-22 at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y.
