Applied Leadership in Small Unit Operations

Catalog description

A continuation of MIL 301 in which cadets study, practice, and apply the fundamentals of Army leadership, Officership, Army values and ethics, personal development, and small unit tactics at the patrol/platoon level. At the conclusion of this course, you will be capable of planning, coordinating, navigating, motivating, and leading a 24-person patrol in the execution of a tactical mission during a classroom practical exercise, a leadership lab, or during a situational training exercise (STX) in a field environment. Successful completion of this course will help prepare you for success at the ROTC Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC), which you will attend next summer at Joint Base Lewis-McCord, WA. You will receive systematic and specific feedback on your leader attributes, values, and core leader competencies from your instructor, other ROTC cadre, and MSIV Cadets who will evaluate you using the ROTC leader development program (LDP) model. Includes instruction in platoon operations, stability and support operations, and garrison orders. Prerequisites & Notes MIL 301 or consent of the Professor of Military Science.
