South Dakota State University’s Army ROTC Cadets continue to reach out to the community even through the Pandemic. Though COVID-19 has led to some difficulty in terms of setting up in person visitations, many high schools have worked with the program in order to setup virtual information sessions via zoom for Cadets to meet with high schoolers interested in the military or Army ROTC. Cadets Peterson, Young, and Warren were able to coordinate with schools even as far as those in Sparta, WI. These were the Lincoln high school, Watertown high school, and Sparta high school respectively. Thank you for your assistance in continuing to develop our program.

Here is a #throwbackthursday back in February when the cadets were conducting Lead Lab on TMKs. Fun Fact: TMK, which is an abbreviation for “Terrain Model Kit”, is a collection of items which assists in briefing the execution of a mission. It is an interactive map that shows how a squad, platoon, or a company will carry out a mission. • • • • • #dominate #3rdbdearmyrotc #inourboots @goarmy @armyrotc @3rdrotcbrigade
