A federal law enacted in 1996 officially established the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, better known as the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). In it, the law states that "... the corporation shall give priority to activities that benefit firearms safety, training, and competition for youth and that reach as many youth participants as possible." Today, one element of that mission is realized in the John C. Garand match held annually at Camp Perry.
"The Garand match honors John C. Garand, who invented, built, modified, and finally came up with the most effective battlefield implement ever devised.
