FORT MCCLELLAN, Ala. (Oct. 15, 2016) -- Capt. Christopher Banks, an operations and training officer assigned to the Fort McClellan Army National Guard Training Center here accepts the First Place award for being the highest scoring shooter in the State Command Sergeant Major's Match from State Command Sergeant Major Eddie Pike, Alabama Army National Guard, during an advanced marksmanship skills competition here at the Pelham Range complex, Oct. 15, 2016.
The two-part competition includes shooters firing M-16A2 rifles from select distances ranging between 500 yards to 25 yards from the target line in both sustained-fire and rapid-fire modes while prone, sitting, kneeling, standing, or moving on foot while quickly engaging targets within set time limits.
The combined score totals that each shooter earns during the two-part event are tallied with the shooters finishing in the top 10 per cent for the competition qualifying for award of the U. S. Army Excellence-In-Competition Rifleman badge.
The shooters finishing the matches with the top 20 overall scores become the "The Governor's Twenty" as the 2017 State Marksmanship Team of the Alabama Army National Guard and will compete against Army National Guard teams representing other states and territories of the United States.
