Maj. Jason Landis and Sgt. 1st Class John Metcalf, both with the Mission Command Training Program, approach the task finish line carrying ammo cans during the Pershing Cup three‑gun competition at McGregor Range Complex, New Mexico, Aug. 23, 2026. Task Force Stinger cadre evaluated each team’s movement, endurance, and accuracy throughout the lane, ensuring competitors maintained tactical discipline as they advanced under timed conditions. By designing realistic combat scenarios, Observer Coach/Trainers (OC/T) build the foundation of the Joint Force, ensuring our formations can rapidly adapt, outpace the adversary, and win in a complex global security environment. The Gen. John J. Pershing Cup is the Army’s annual premier Best OC/T competition, a rigorous four‑day competition taking place at Fort Bliss, Texas, Aug. 22–24, 2026. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
