Here are a few shots from Day 1 shared by the U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence Public Affairs Office
For full transparency, they will be covering the event this year as the official source. There have already been some complaints in our inbox about the lack of coverage for this competition versus those in the past.
Supporters of this great event need to know there's a lot going on at multiple levels that affect coverage right now, from Brigade level, all the way up the Secretary of Defense's Office.
The people on MCoE PAO's team are amazing, so we're asking you to throw your full support behind them as they do everything they can to bring you as much coverage from the field as possible during this event. No single office has the infrastructure to cover an event with this many teams and training areas, at the level we have in the past, without augmentees. It's challenging with so many changes coming from the top down so quickly, so your understanding is greatly appreciated.
