U.S. Army Small Arms Championships
The U.S. Army Small Arms Championships (All Army) is a comprehensive, live-fire training event that tests Soldiers ability to employ both primary and secondary weapon systems, problem solve, and think critically under the stresses created by competition. While the elements and spirit of competition are important, the Army's critical intent of the Competition in Arms Program is to develop marksmanship skills at the entry and intermediate level and recognize superior skill at the highest levels, while raising the standards of marksmanship and increasing lethality across the entire force.

The week-long All Army Championships is hosted annually at Fort Benning, Georgia by the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU). It brings in over 250 Soldiers from across the United States and from all components of the Army: active duty, Reserve, National Guard, Air National Guard and ROTC. This year's competition is being held March 10-16, 2019 and includes more than 260 competitors.

Soldiers compete in rifle, pistol and multigun course of fire. There is a mix of both tactical and civilian style matches, including Excellence in Competition matches in rifle and pistol.
