FORSCOM Small Arms Championships 2017

by John M. Buol Jr.

The Forces Command (FORSCOM) Small Arms Championships is a comprehensive live-fire training event that tests Soldiers’ and leaders’ ability to employ individual, crew-served, sniper weapon systems, problem solve, and think critically under the stresses created by competition. While the elements and spirit of competition are important, all Soldiers are reminded that the Army’s critical intent of the competition in arms program is to develop marksmanship skills at the entry and intermediate level, recognize superior skill at the highest levels, while raising the standards of marksmanship and increasing lethality across the entire force.
