Background

The Annual Warrior Competition aims to promote sharing of best practices, technology, and hardware; through gear and weapons display and live demonstrations by international retailers, and expose strengths and weaknesses in unit and individual skill sets.

Every year the competition is redesigned to reflect the ever-changing threats posed by terrorism. Competing “Warriors” are expected to demonstrate competencies and adaptability of marksmanship, endurance, teamwork, tactics and communications on the battlefield.[1] They are observed and judged by a panel of reputable international experts from various professional military and law enforcement backgrounds. Over thirty international and local teams[2] participate every year.
