U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Joey Gogue, a California resident with Guam ties showed out at the 49th Military Police Brigade 2020 Best Warrior Competition last week, winning the non-commissioned officer (NCO) category of 12 competitors.
Gogue’s win during the August 8-12 event makes him a leading candidate to represent his 579th Engineer Battalion at the National level. If Gogue is able to claim victory in the next BWC event, he will be eligible to compete in the National Guard Bureau’s regional BWC against the top NCO’s from Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Guam.
Guam was set host the 2020 Regional BWC, but the COVID19 pandemic forced the postponement of the May event, which will now take place in California.

Staff Sgt. Joey J. Gogue, right, earned the top noncommissioned officer (NCO) title, besting a field of 12 competitors. Camacho is senior enlisted advisor of the 143rd Military Police Battalion and was on the NCO review board that tested Gogue. “I was going to ask him what does “Hafa Adai” mean,” joked Camacho. Gogue represented Forward Support Company, 579th Engineer Battalion, and now represents the 49th in November’s state-level BWC against possibly another 10 NCOs. “It was a tough competition, very challenging especially because of the heat,” Gogue said, noting weather temperature hovered above 100 degrees during the outdoor events. “I’ll be doing my best in the next competition.” If he wins again, Gogue will represent California in National Guard Bureau’s Regional BWC, where he will compete against top NCOs from Hawaii, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Guam. Guam was to host this year’s Regional BWC, but the coronavirus pandemic halted the May event. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Eddie Siguenza)
