Just back from this year's competition, this year also with US presence (1st battalion -143rd, Rangers and Marines - dunno the units) alongside with teams from Poland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, UK, France, Finland, Belgium.
Awesome Helicopter stage shooting from MI-171Š @ 400m man sized target.
US teams didn't do that well mostly because this competition requires a lot of precision shots in the sub .5moa (most scores come from precision shots @faces in the sub 300m range from unsupported positions) range which was way above the capabilities of their gear. Most of the targets are shot from buddy support, kneeling, standing, under time pressure at ranges between 100m-800m. Night shoot under flares and fog (not fun at all).

Unscrewed IOR turret (had to crawl through sand and tunnel and probably hit turret somewhere) in a stage before and dialed with such turret and lost zero (got extremely lucky that next stage was shot as below so i was able to rezero at a cost of one shot slightly low
)

Very fun competition with Czech army providing tents and food and beer and excellent organization.
