44th TAG Match, Camp Smith, NY (Sept. 6-10, 2023)

The Annual NYARNG Combat Marksmanship Skills Competition (TAG Match) promotes marksmanship training and competition between members of the Armed Forces of New York. This intensive 3-day training event hosts a series of matches in multiple disciplines, including rifle and pistol.

The TAG Match allows individuals to improve marksmanship skills through the exchange of experience and ideas with other participants.

The 44th annual (2023) event served as a preliminary match for the Regional Championship and was open to Soldiers and Airmen from all branches of the US Armed Forces.

The purpose of the TAG Match is two-fold:

It offers units and individuals the opportunity to test marksmanship skills and weapon systems in a competitive, battle-focused environment
It offers New York National Guard units the opportunity to be selected to represent the State of New York in national-level competitions
