Rivalries renewed as UK, US and more battle for epic Sandhurst Cup at West Point 

The Canadian cadets rocking the hockey hair is hilarious.

'Are you from Norway?' 'No, Denmark.' Best opening to an interview ever. She carried on without skipping a beat.

shoutout to the canadian cadet rocking the pitts and mullet. Glad to know theyre in good hands up there

Fantastic to see these young college age women and men from around the Free World performing so well.

Very proud of my alma mater the Royal Military College of Canada 🇨🇦 finishing just short (by 3 pits) of the grand winner USMA West Point.

Fantastic comaraderie shown throughout these challenges! Well done to all teams👏

Thank you all the soldiers In the world❤

Proud to have graduated from West Point. Although I never competed in Sandhurst, it was cool seeing all the teams work so hard to prepare for competition day. I even got a coin from the Japanese coach during my first year at the Academy for helping them set up one of the lanes.

What a great event! Fab to see all the teams from around the world there - gives you faith that the ties that bind us together remain strong and getting stronger!

She did a great job, but a clarification is in order. Until a few years ago, West Point would field teams from every cadet company (36, then reduced to 32). The Brits would bring 2 teams of their best from the entire pool of Sandhurst. It was rare for one of the cadet companies to beat the Brits. There was a lot of internal debate about fielding an academy-wide team vs the smaller pool of cadet companies. Many held that the internal company teams were better for the comraderie and leadership aspects of being part of the train up process. Eventually, USMA began fielding 2 teams that draw from the best cadets from the entire academy rather than limited to one small company. USMA still fields teams from each of the 32 companies but also have the Black and Gold teams which represent the entire academy (like every other competitor school). An analog would be if the Americans represented just their state in the Olympics instead of an entire pool across the Nation. USMA didn't "build" a team to best the Brits. They simply fielded teams composed of the best cadets across the entire academy rather than limited to small company teams (in essence what the Brits do).

I watched the awards ceremony prior to watching this video. I am just so proud of you ALL. Bless you and thank you.✌️

Good to see allies playing and supporting each other’s

Please keep the long-form videos! Canada means business. We don't have the budget, but we have the heart.

Brilliant, just brilliant!

Great job officer Eddy. We are so proud of you.

7:47 The Danish guy said “Skåne is Danish”. That was Basicly as close to declaring war on Sweden as possible XD. Imagine an Irish Soldier saying that Northern Ireland belongs to Rep. Ireland. That is about the equivalent to what just happend!😂 Also! How did the Scandinavian rivalries go? Who won the internal Scandinavian competition?!?

This channel is incredibly reassuring as a civvy in despair. This sort of stuff needs more air time in the mainstream.

Congratulations for the win 😎

Sandhurst's epic 44 week course is legendary. In the US it takes 4 years to train an officer, in France 3 yeara. British officer do it in a fraction of the time, and they don't even need a degree, they're that good.

Well done. You've made my day. Good reporting. Thank you. Strong democracy.

Damn, this is awesome

Did all of the American Service Academies participate to include Citadel and VMI?

RCMC OCdts all the way!!

The media globaly like to paint a not so flatering picture of our young adults. But after watching these young future leaders from all the different countries - i think we are going to be ok. A seriously impressive group of individuals.

America having to make two special teams just for this to have a chance at winning when everyone else is just sending normal soldiers is so funny

I love the camaraderie 🍁🍁 meanwhile russia: Who Gets the Most Drunk on Vodka game

imagine dedicating a whole team for this even specifically. lmao

It's working together groups from different countries that counts.

11:36 except the Brits do have both those weapon systems? Slightly different (L7A2 GMPG and L110A2 Minimi) but idk why he made such a point of that when they would be identical internally as far as I'm aware.

🇨🇦 !

I LOVE the COMRADESHIP and GREAT EFFORTS…

gooo sweden!!

Great stuff I didn't quite understand who came First ?

how come no footage of either Japan or South Korea?

Haha, the fact that the US had to create two teams who are purpose built to just train for this competition in order to win is crazy. Really goes to show why the british managed to dominate the world.

A brilliant symbol of NATO cooperation!

im curious how British military went from regularly winning to the point of usa military had to put two dedicated teams to winning the competition to British military being 14th and 35th in this result. where did it go wrong for British military.

Of course marines are organizators :D if they compete there is no competition :D btw those canadian mullets are sick :D :D :D

"feels like everyone is after us" *14th place*

"Sandhurst". British soft power (again)!

What a great competition, very proud to see our (Canadian) cadets do so well. More importantly, awesome to see the collaboration between allies and friends. Russia or China could never match the strength of these allied nations.

Competition is so good will make friends they might fight next to one day.

America that, America this… this is a fun competition between friendly nations. Y’all think too hard about this. Relax.

6:43 Officer-Cadet Beaumont is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve right now.

cool!

Go CANADA!

I didn't know Japan was participating.

No iceland?

saluta to da souljas cross the globe

I'd have thought Australia would have been invited

9:39 Her hand isn't even holding up the boat. The UK was slowed down by the female officer cadets.

This is grat eny way can we get the kid cadets on somthine like this

5:54 💀

Why didnt they write and say sweden? You could see atleast 3 different swedish people in this video,.

Maybe they should have invited Australian and New Zealand officers to there games as we are in. China's AO

👍❤

USA 31 out of 40 teams. Competitions involving weapons only used by US forces! Methinks they have a slight home teamS advantage

Where were the Aussies?

well the Glock does have a safety, clearly she was not paying attention

They should mixed up the personnel from each country, rather than to compete as country teams. This way they get to work together across national boundaries and get to know one another.

go Aggies!

Believe it or not but Finland came last from all the Nordic countries but still managed to beat the UK red team😂😂, also shout out to Norway and Poland finishing high for the Europeans!!!

Hrrm shouldn't they use their own gear?

14th and 35th sign of the times in the UK, be the best? Yeah right..

Ruperts vs Ruperts. Handbagging instead of milling.

Americans getting cocky saying they're going to win when VAST MAJORITY OF THE TEAMS ARE AMERICAN. Wtf? With those numbers it would be a surprise if they didn't.

The USAFA were running at take off speed

I dont know about others but as Ex British military who's with for SIG over Glock?

The Canadian cadets look more American than the Americans

Would love to see a team from the British Navy with a few bootneck officers in there.

Can't stop a dinghy

It's unfair game for us army to compete with militia

So who won the Nordic Cup within the competition? 🇳🇴 🇩🇰 🇸🇪 🇫🇮

lok apart from US no battle-hardened big army, yet so much hype.

Really Excellent. Brits usually win eh? Gonna have to give my brother in the US Army a kick up the ass. :P

🥂🇨🇦❤️🫡

wtf 14th...

not only does this "journalist' not know the flags of foreign nations, she doesn't know how the NFL draft works.

Christian: a button in the bays is a bullet in the batttlefield. Sort your rig out son.

Why the gratuitous inclusion of female cadets? At 9:37 she wasn't even carrying the boat.

Canada just got new Dress Policy which includes new hair standards. Well see what happens to the mullets. Mullet should still be reg but the phrase "Project a positive military appearance" might give some Seargent Majors some ideas.

So British Army finish 14th and 35th respectively. Pretty much says about the level of training happening in Sandhurst, UK.

No Wonder an American team wins, they have the Odds in their Favor!!! they have more teams!! HUGE Advantage!!

Must have been embarrassing bringing those fishing tac-vests for the Canadians

The Canadian men's hair is longer than the women's I find that a bit strange . Men's hair nets issued as standard kit ??

*Texas A&M University won, not Air Force Academy.

Mohammad Ghadaffi was educated there after he murdered the Lybian king.

So it's like spring break for ppl who don't do drugs (in front of the camera)... Got it!

Typical American have 2 groups who train for this all year around 😂 can we have royal marine and para officers doing it next time!

Wish we could have seen some Koreans or japanese

USA/allies Military Champions League 👍❤😂

That's not good enough tbh, 14th is a terrible result, nothing to be proud of with that.

From dominating the competition to 14th and 35th. I hope this isn't a sign of our military's abilities.

Canadians always sound more American than people from the US. They all sound like surfer bros. Hehehe.

US should invite China and Russia. I would like to see if they can beat them.

Shameful result, need to win not just participate

🇨🇦❤️‍🔥😼💯🫶

Why is the uk squad coached by an American where is the British coaches

Braw

11:39 the m240b is our GPMG and the m249 is the LMG, so yes we do have them
