General Info on the Western Championships:
The U.S. Army Cadet Command Eastern Championships without question maintain the largest group of dedicated drillers ever to be amassed in one location! As an inaugural event back in 2004, YEARS of planning and preparation have been undertaken to produce both an Eastern and Western Championship competition. The "Army Nationals" as it has affectionately become known, has been designed to provide a first-class platform for all Army JROTC drill cadets to showcase their years of work as this will be the "Super Bowl of Army JROTC"!

Sports Network International looks very forward to working with U.S. Army Cadet Command, as well as the corresponding Brigade commands, as well as other instrumental groups that work hard to make the event a success every year for the cadets. The "Army Nationals" annually provide over 2,000 young Army drillers the ability to compete amongst their peers. Those that have competed in this event previously will attest to the awesome nature and standing this competition has within the world of competition drill & ceremony.
