After a hiatus of over two years the Royal Military Academy has revived its RMA Medal, also know as the Best Shot Award.
The first award for '05 goes to Lt Generaal Geert Van Uythoven, Commander of I Corps of the Anglo-Allied Army.
The award requires an Anglo-Allied Army Commander to achieve 3 victories, over 3 different French opponents, in 3 different scenarios in the 6 months following their commission into the Anglo-Allied Army. During the introductory period, all Commanders are eligible if they meet the above requirements in the period:
1 September '04 to 1 March '05
Details and background on the award can be found at the RMA Commandant's Desk:
