GAINEY CUP

The U.S. Army Armor School will host the Gainey Cup to determine the Army’s best scout team. Each Regular Army division and separate brigade is invited to provide one organic scout team to compete in the event. The Army National Guard is invited to provide up to three teams to compete, up to a total of 20 teams in the competition.

The Gainey Cup will be a four day event that tests fundamental reconnaissance skills. Scout teams will negotiate a series of evaluated events, including troop-leading procedures, day and night live-fire, obstacle courses, landing-zone operations, patrolling, first aid, a reconnaissance lane, knowledge on weapons, communication devices and sensors, one mystery event, and a validus disciplus. The event will conclude on 8 May on Braves Rifles Field in Harmony Church. Additional information can be found at: http://www.benning.army.mil/armor/GaineyCup/index.html
