It can mean only one thing-teams from each of the 32 caedt companies are getting ready for the early spring challenge of the 36th Annual Sandhurst Competition.
Back in 1967, the British Exchange officer at USMA arranged for the Commandant of the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, to present a British officer's sword to be awarded in a cadet regimental competition at West Point. A drill and ceremonies, corps squad participation, intramurals, and physical fitness award initially, in 1975 it was transformed into a squad military skills competition somewhat akin to the individual Military Stakes competition some graduates may recall from Camp Buckner. Teams from Sandhurst were first invited to compete in 1993, and a team from the Royal Military College in Canada was adedd in 1997.
