Senate Joint Resolution 147, sponsored by McNally, honors Troop B of the 1st Squadron, 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Tennessee Army National Guard for their outstanding achievement in winning the 2024 Sullivan Cup Competition. This prestigious event, held at Fort Moore, Georgia, pits the best tank and Bradley crews from the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, and allied nations against each other to test their skills in maneuver, sustainment, and gunnery. The soldiers from Ashland City, who were the only National Guard unit in the competition, triumphed over ten other teams, showcasing their dedication and teamwork.

The resolution recognizes the exemplary performance of the crew members—Staff Sergeant David Riddick, Sergeant Joshua Owen, Specialist Noah Eddings, and Specialist Seth Carter—and commends the leadership and support staff of the 278th ACR. Their victory not only brings pride to the state of Tennessee but also exemplifies the enduring warrior ethos of the Tennessee Volunteer. The resolution concludes by extending best wishes for their continued success and calls for an appropriate copy of the resolution to be prepared for presentation.
