In 2018, a group of prior military rodeo cowboys and cowgirls re-booted the MRCA with the intent of once again becoming the premier military rodeo association in the country.
In 2019 the MRCA crowned their first season champions when the Marine Corps Derrick Linneman won the SB and Army's Dusty Futch won the BR.
In 2020, despite a worldwide pandemic, the association held its first World Finals in 20 years and crowned a World Champion Bull Rider. Teegan Peterson of the USMC topped a talented field of riders to win his first MRCA World Champion buckle. This WFR saw the return of Air Force veteran Wayne Boney from retirement to place third in the world and notch his 18th WFR qualification extending his record book setting HOF career.
The 2021 season saw fewer rodeos due to continued pandemic effects but there were enough to crown season champions in Bull Riding and Barrel Racing. Dylan Robinson from the Army squeaked by fellow Army bull rider Tre Stewart in the Bull Riding and Matthew Eubanks also from the Army won the Barrel Racing.
With the pandemic fully behind the organization, the 2022 season started off with a huge event in Pasadena, Tx that saw Army veteran Joe Baptiste, Marine veterans Chris Skeeters and Teegan Peterson all capture go-round wins in the Bull Riding. USAF Reservist Harrison Hess won it all in the Chute Dogging while National Guard member Jerrod Miller won the Tie Down Roping. Marine Corp veterans Kendall Oakley and Adam Pollard won rounds in the Barrel Racing. Army veteran Diana Brogan and Navy veteran Jonathan Freeman each won a round of Break Away Roping.
With many co-sanctioned events across the country, MRCA cowboys and cowgirls were able to continue competing in places like Ft. Worth TX, Crawford NE, Hope Mills SC, Pauls Valley OK and Panquitch UT. The MRCA also held a full rodeo at Whitewright TX that crowned winners such as Army veteran Mike Hall and Air Force veteran Travis Beck in the Team Roping, Army veteran Eric Walnofer in the Bull Riding and Chute Dogging. Navy veteran Jessica Beck won the Barrel Racing while husband Travis Beck won the Break Away Roping.
The 2022 season champions were Harrison Hess in Chute Dogging, Chris Skeeters in Bull Riding, Jerrod Miller in Tie Down Roping, Kendall Oakley in Barrel Racing, Diana Brogan in Break Away Roping, Johnny Drew in Team Roping Heading and Adam Pollard in Team Roping Heeling. Army veteran Joe Baptiste won the All Around. Due to unfortunate circumstances, the 2022 WFR was canceled and World Championships were not awarded.
