In an April 2018 photo, a mortar team takes part in the Best Mortar Competition, one of four separate competitions that was to have been part of this year's prestigious annual Infantry Week competition, which has been postponed as a precaution against the COVID-19 virus. Infantry Week had been scheduled to run April 14 - 20. Also postponed is the Sullivan Cup Tank Crew Competition, which had been scheduled for May 4 - 8. The U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence here hosts both competitions but postponed them "out of an abundance of caution," and the need to protect the operational readiness of the military force. When authorities conclude the competition's participants and spectators would no longer be at risk from exposure to COVID-19, new dates for Infantry Week and Sullivan Cup will be announced.
