Cadets compete in US All-Army at Fort Benning

Mar 18, 2026

Cadets Kevin Tran, Aiden Renfrow, Lochlain Bloom, Samuel Marianetti and Parker Walls competed in the US Army Small Arms Championships (ALL-ARMY) in Fort Benning, Georgia last week.

The week-long event featured nearly 200 soldiers from active duty, Reserve, National Guard, and ROTC competing in advanced rifle, pistol, and multi-gun matches. It is meant to test

soldiers’ ability to employ both primary and secondary weapon systems, problem solve, and think critically under the stresses created by competition.

Cadet Tran was a match winner in the individual service rifle category within the cadet class. Congrats to Cadet Tran and the rest of the VFMC cadets who participated!
