The Gainey Cup Competition showcases the competence, physical and mental stamina, and competitive spirit of Reconnaissance Soldiers, serving in Recon and Cavalry Formations. Army Armor School will recognize the Army’s “Best Scout Squad” by running them through a gauntlet of rigorous reconnaissance and security events. These events will challenge your Scouts’ physical and mental ability to conduct
reconnaissance and security operations in close proximity to enemy forces and civilian populations, while informing the commander's Priority Intelligence Requirements. They must be able to employ fires, enablers and report to develop situational understanding. Finally, the Scout Squad will be evaluated on their ability to provide early warning and decision space for the commander, developing the situation when necessary through direct action.
