It was the third straight gold for the Navy women and the second consecutive championship for the Army men.
The final games wrapped up a week of tough competition between the services which began with a three-day triple round robin tournament before moving on to the final two days of double elimination play.
The teams are comprised of active duty, reserve and National Guard personnel from military installations around the world.
