For the first time in the five-year history of the Warrior Games the Chairman's Cup has gone to somebody other than the Marine Corps. The Army took an early lead in the trophy count and never looked back. In another Warrior Games first, the Ultimate Champion is a back-to-back winner. US Air Force Capt. Mitchell Kieffer, 2013 Ultimate Champion, took the title again this year.
