July 4, 2012

In a Wednesday, June 27, 2012 photo, Staff Sgt. Jeffrey Heilman from Ft. Jackson, S.C. works through an IED combat scenario. Heilman is one of five of the U.S. Army's best drill sergeants competing for the title of 2012 Army Drill Sergeant of the Year at Fort Eustis, Va. Competitors endure physical and mental challenges during a four-day competition, which tests their knowledge of Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills and their ability to teach these tasks to new soldiers.

Jeffrey Heilman kneeled down in a wooded section of Fort Eustis and calmly told six soldiers he had never met before to prepare: They might find an improvised explosive device on their way to relieve some other soldiers at a checkpoint.
