st Battalion, 200th Infantry, took home first place overall. Spc. Dalton Hacker from the 126th Military Police Company came in second place. Pope took home third place. Friendly competition drove the shooters in competition, but each overcame challenging events and time away from home to train and expand their skills. “The ultimate goal of the TAG Match is to train individuals who come up here so that they can go back to their units and we can build a better force,” said Command Sgt. Maj. Gerald Burkhart, the command sergeant major of the 515th Regional Training Institute. “They’re getting out of their comfort zone. They’re running and moving, and it’s great. We need to get more people out here.” The TAG Match takes place every summer.
