1st Lt. Austin Kong, a quartermaster officer with the 339th Quartermaster Company, 498th Combat Support Sustainment Battalion, and a native of Allen, Texas, participates in a 12-mile ruck march during the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command Best Warrior Competition, Mar. 8 at Camp Walker, Daegu, Korea. The weather forecast predicted rain fall on this particular day. Soldiers participating in the event were surprised to see Mother Nature dealt them a heavy dose of snowfall, requiring the competitors to change their mindset and adapt to the elements.
