After the initial two days of competition in field events, mostly, defending champions, Defence Headquarters (DHQ) is comfortably ahead on 123 ½ points. Base Camp Stephenson is second on 71 points while Base Camp Ayanganna closely follows on 60 ½ points.

The Coast Guards are on 30 points with Second Infantry Battalion on 22 points. The combined team that include, Special Corps, Artillery and Coastal Battalion has seven points with Engineers in the cellar position among the nine competing units with four points. The annual Inter-Unit Championships is held to select the GDF team for the annual Inter-Service Track and Field Championships.
