FORT KNOX, Ky.-- Members of the U.S. Army Reserves 104th Training Division coordinated the ranges, plans and logistics needed for the 2026 seven-day competition known as Gunfighter Forge that ran here from April 25 to May 1.
This was the second year of competition, with 35+ competitors taking up the challenge – up from 25 the first year.
The commanding general of 100th Training Div., Brig. Gen. Martin Jung, stopped by on Day 1 to pay the team a visit and said he wants to see next year's competition expand to 55 or more competitors from across all Department of War branches and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Planners said they designed the ranges and tests to also work as a test of combat skills.
