     It's a bonding session that reminds each hunter of its place in the team — invaluable in the struggle to come.

Usage notes

• To come is not a true adjective; rather, syntactically, it is simply the to-infinitive of the verb come. As a result, it follows the noun that it modifies, rather than preceding it.
