The U.S. Army’s Outdoor Team will be spotlighted to avid fishing fans from around the country as part of the Bassmaster Classic. The Classic Outdoors Expo presented by the U.S. Army is recognized as fishing’s biggest consumer show and annually draws 200 exhibitors ranging from major international brands to local retailers.
“The Army Outdoor Team connects with America through the shared passion of outdoor sports,” said MSG Josh Watkins, one of two soldiers who, along with SFC Daniel Hodge, travels the country participating in key fishing tournaments and appearing at local venues. “We are armed with the latest outdoor gear, including a bass boat.”
Launched two years ago, the Army Outdoor Team uses the latest gear and soldier savvy to show their skills nationwide. The team is part of the Mission Support Battalion from Fort Knox, Ky. The battalion is co-located with its headquarters, the Army Marketing and Engagement Brigade.
The 2023 Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo will take place across the Knoxville Convention Center and adjacent World’s Fair Exhibition Hall Friday through Sunday (March 24-26).
