U.S. Air Force Amber Monio, National Guard Bureau, throws a simulation grenade body during a demonstration of the grenade lane to help U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Greg Lunsford determine the best way to score competitors at the obstacle course located at the National Service Academy, in Umm Salal Muhammed, Qatar, Feb. 2, 2025. This year’s competition is the first to be hosted jointly with a partner nation outside the continental United States, and the first time that partner nation’s military members have competed alongside U.S. service members. The competition features a multitude of core competencies ranging from the Army Combat Fitness Test and weapons lanes; to a foot march and detailed individual warrior tasks and battle drills. The West Virginia National Guard and Qatar Armed Forces partnered in 2018 through the State Partnership Program, the National Guard’s flagship international affairs and security cooperation initiative. Years of combined training and development of enduring relationships between the militaries has led to this event, meant to foster more capable and interoperable partners and pursue shared objectives.
