RED CLOUD GARRISON - Military personnel from Warrior Country were briefed about the coming Commander's Cup Feb. 25 in the USAG-RC Community Activity Center. The purpose of the meeting was to inform representatives of each competing unit the rules of the Commander's Cup competition.

"In the past two years, there has been a big push for more positive activities within Warrior Country," said Randy Behr, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation sports director, explaining why the Commander's Cup is valuable to the Warrior Country Soldiers and Airmen attending the briefing.

The Commander's Cup is an athletic, team emphasized, competition in which units face off against each other in various sports activities and are awarded on a point scale. The unit with the most points at the end of the season will win the Commander's Cup.

The season in which the cup is awarded is Jan. 1 through June 30 and July 1 through Dec. 31. Point totals will be posted at the beginning of the week, sent through e-mails, and posted within each service member's respective unit.

Behr, who led the briefing named a few of the sports in which service members will be competing, from team sports such as basketball, softball, volleyball, soccer, and bowling to one-on-one player sports like, swimming, bike racing, tae kwon do, tennis, and racquetball.
