Sellersville man among PA National Guard’s best marksmen

Posted

Eighty-three Pennsylvania National Guard (PNG) soldiers and airmen competed with rifles and pistols in multiple courses of fire to determine the best marksmen during the Governor’s Twenty match at Fort Indiantown Gap.
Created in 1968, the Governor’s Twenty is a state-level National Guard award presented annually to the top 20 shooters in a state. Through this fierce competition, participants test marksmanship skills and weapon systems in a battle-focused environment.
The Army and Air Force both recognize the state award, and it is reflected on the service members’ official personnel record. The top 20 scorers were awarded the Governor’s Twenty tab to be worn on their uniform and a certificate to identify them as being outstanding marksmen.

The competition was conducted by the PNG Individual Training Branch, Marksmanship Training Unit.
The 2021 Governor’s Twenty recipients included Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Fusco of Sellersville.
