June 14th, 2023

ELK RIVER, Minn. — U.S. Army Sgt. Tim Sherry won three Gold Medals at the USA Shooting 300-Meter Nationals May 23 -27.

The Evergreen, Colorado native, who is a marksmanship instructor/competitive shooter with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit International Rifle Team, claimed the wins in Men’s 300-Meter Prone Rifle, Open 300-Meter Standard Rifle and Men’s 300-Meter Three-Position Rifle against top marksmen from across the United States.

To win each National Champion title, competitors were required to shoot each match’s course of fire twice on separate days. The Prone Match course of fire consisted of 60-shots in 50 minutes. Sherry fired a two-day aggregate score of 1187-57x, beating second place by eight points and 20 Xs. The Standard Rifle Match course of fire consisted of 60 shots in 120 minutes.

“It was great to get validation on my training as I won all three events at the competition!”

In addition to adding three new medals to his collection, the Soldier’s performance also earned him a spot on the U.S. 300-Meter Rifle Team and will represent the United States, and Army, at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan starting in mid August, which is something Sherry said he is excited about.

“I am happy to have qualified for the team in all 300-meter events and am looking forward to Worlds later this summer.”

Rheinmetall Reinforcing NATO Partner Nation: Norway Orders Almost 300 More Trucks Worth Over €150 Million

June 13th, 2023

Rheinmetall is making another important contribution to strengthening NATO’s European member nations: starting in late 2026, Norway will be taking delivery of almost 300 advanced TG3 MIL 8×8 military trucks, worth over €150 million. The contract was signed on 31 May 2023 in Oslo by Gro Jeare, director of the Norwegian Defence Materiel Agency (NDMA), and Michael Wittlinger, chairman of the board of management of Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles GmbH (RMMV).

In terms of volume, it is the largest single call-off of trucks to date under the framework contract concluded between Rheinmetall, Norway and Sweden. Earmarked for the Norwegian armed forces, the package encompasses multiple vehicle variants, including hook loader trucks, special vehicles with crane and hook loader systems as well as trailers and flatracks.

The primary purpose of the vehicles will be to enhance the transport capacity and operational capabilities of the Norwegian military. The latest call-off represents less than half of the necessary logistic vehicles covered by the framework contract, meaning that follow-up orders from Norway and other Scandinavian nations are likely.

“We see this follow-up order as clear proof of the professional and partner-like cooperation in recent years as well as the compelling performance of our products”, declares Michael Wittlinger. “As we see it, the fact that more and more NATO armed forces are opting for our TG and HX vehicles is an important step toward greater interoperability and resilience. We take our responsibility to supply the best possible systems here very seriously.”
