CAMP JOSEPH T. ROBINSON, Ark. - The National Guard Marksmanship Training Center will conduct the 2025 WPW/AFSAM Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Joseph T. Robinson in North Little Rock to test the skills of service members from all over the world from March 31 to April 11.
Service members will execute combat marksmanship tasks during the 54th annual Winston P. Wilson Rifle and Pistol Championship. Concurrently, the 34th Armed Forces Skill at Arms Meeting will be held for international and interservice competitors. These championships enable service members from Active Duty, National Guard, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and foreign allies to test combat skills and weapon systems in a battle-focused environment.
This year’s match attracts competitors from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and territories and allies from as far away as Sweden. Throughout the week, there will be 25 marksmanship tasks, three weapon-systems utilized, and each marksman will fire more than 600 rounds during the match.
Established in 1968, the National Guard Marksmanship Training Center is the National Guard Home of Marksmanship. NGMTC is the National Guard Bureau’s center for managing marksmanship training courses and competitive marksmanship programs to advance small arms lethality, demonstrate National Guard marksmanship capability, and enhance marksmanship effectiveness in combat. NGMTC serves all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories and is located at Robinson Maneuver Training Center in North Little Rock, Arkansas. NGMTC is the headquarters for the “All Guard” competitive shooting teams: service rifle, service pistol, multi-gun, and international combat teams. The NGMTC is also home to the annual Winston P. Wilson National Championships, where Guardsmen may earn the NGB Chief’s 50 Marksmanship Badge.
