On behalf of Maj. Gen. Curtis A. Buzzard, Commander, United States Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, the United States Army Armor School(USAARMS) thanks you for your decision to participate in the 2024 Sullivan Cup Tank Crew Competition at Fort Moore, Georgia (FMGA). This year’s field will pit teams selected across the Army’s armored formations, the USMC, and international partner countries’ armed forces against each other to test tank crew maneuver, sustainment, and gunnery skills. Success will require expertise on the technical and tactical skills most critical to success in combat under conditions that will stress Soldiers physically and mentally.

The competition embodies its namesake, General (Retired)Gordon R. Sullivan. Gen. Sullivan was commissioned as an Armor officer and commanded numerous Armor Formations throughout his storied career. Gen. Sullivan retired from the Army after more than 36 years of service, which culminated as the 32nd Chief of Staff. His commitment to the Armor Force exemplifies the spirit of our Armor Soldiers. Train hard and come prepared, make history and show the world your best.
