This resolution honors Troop B, 1st Squadron, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR) of the Tennessee Army National Guard for winning the 2024 Sullivan Cup Competition, a prestigious biennial U.S. Army event that tests tank and Bradley crew skills. Held at Fort Moore, Georgia, the competition involved crews from the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and foreign allies, with the Tennessee National Guard team defeating ten other teams, including six active-duty Army units and four international teams. The winning crew consisted of Staff Sergeant David Riddick, Sergeant Joshua Owen, Specialist Noah Eddings, and Specialist Seth Carter, who were the only National Guard/non-active duty unit in the competition. The resolution highlights the team's achievement as a demonstration of the Tennessee "warrior ethos" and pays tribute to their dedication, teamwork, and excellence, recognizing them as the best M1 Abrams tank crew in the world for the next two years. The document formally commends these soldiers and resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution for presentation, celebrating their significant accomplishment and bringing pride to the State of Tennessee.
