Hoffman is Squad Leader of F2 Company Team for Sandhurst From Michelle Kalish US Military Academy Public Affairs Office West Point, NY - The U.S. Military Academy will host the 57th Sandhurst Military Skills Competition on April 26 and 27, 2024. Hosted by West Point since 1967, teams will compete in a rigorous 36-hour course to test warrior spirit, cohesion, and dedication to mission accomplishment. This year's two-day competition consists of 48 teams, including 17 international teams, 16 ROTC teams, ten U.S. Military Academy company teams, and five U.S. service academy teams. Cadet Samuel Hoffman, Squad Leader of the F2 Company Team, is from Columbia, Kentucky, and was a member of the Class of 2021 at Adair County High School. "Sandhurst is the premiere cadet military skills competition in the world. This year's competition is designed to push them to their limits and, in the process, inspire us with their tenacity, determination, and grit," said Department of Military Instruction Director Col. Mark Federovich. "We are honored to host an event that showcases how impressive these competitors are," he continued. "They are the best of the best and highlight how bright our collective future is with these fine leaders leading the way." At the end of the Military Skills Competition, one team will be named the Sandhurst champion. The winning team will be chosen based on their collective performance in 15 different events testing physical fitness, military skills, teamwork, and leadership. The champion team will be awarded the Reginald E. Johnson memorial plaque, a mounted cadet saber, named for Thomas Surdyke, a West Point Sandhurst competitor who perished during the land navigation phase in 1980. There will also be awards presented to the top International and ROTC teams, and squad leader.
The competition can be watched on several livestreams:
