NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 21, 2025) – SIG SAUER, Inc, industry leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, optics, and ammunition, and the SIG SAUER Academy were honored to host the 2025 SIG Relentless Warrior Championship (SRWC) event. This year marked the largest SRWC in the event’s history hosting one hundred and twenty-six competitors. Cadets from the Air Force Academy, Coast Guard Academy, Royal Military College of Canada, University of North Georgia, Texas A&M, Merchant Marine Academy, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VA Tech), West Point, The Citadel, and Virginia Military Institute (VMI) competed at the SIG SAUER Academy in Epping, New Hampshire over two days of stiff competition. At the conclusion of the event, competitors were honored at an awards banquet featuring retired US Army Lt. General John Deedrick.
The Texas A&M Corps of Cadets fended off defending champions UMA West Point to claim the team victory at the SIG SAUER Relentless Warrior Championship.
The SIG Relentless Warrior Challenge consisted of six challenging stages, testing competitors’ skills in marksmanship, teamwork, and leadership through mission focused themes. After a hard-fought battle with the New England cold, wind, rain, snow, and defending West Point champions, Texas A&M brought home the title of 2025 SIG Relentless Warrior Champion.
“On behalf of all the Cadets and Mid-shipmen who attended, I am very grateful to SIG SAUER for the time and effort committed to this event. I have coached 12 years of this match, and this was hands down the best organized and executed,” said Kevin Jimmerson, Marksmanship Instructor & Coach, Texas A&M Corps of Cadets Marksmanship Unit (CCMU).
“Competition is not about winning but improving your deficiencies. This is a vitally important lesson for these young men and women who will soon be leading young Americans in defense of our Country,” continued Mr. Jimmerson. “This Texas A&M team developed confidence and competence. We brought everything with us we needed to win this match.”

“I’m proud of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and their efforts preparing for this competition. They fittingly embodied the infamous words of former Texas A&M football coach Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant, ‘It’s not the will to win that matters – everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.’ Congratulations to them, and to everyone who helped make this event a success,” concluded Strader.
