For more than a century now, a program that was established by Theodore Roosevelt's presidential administration has promoted the development of marksmanship skills for civilians. This presentation from Martin K.A. Morgan discusses the history of the DCM/CMP, and describes the ways that the program continues to fulfill its mission in the 21st century.
