What a great training event held by the Red Wolf Battalion this past weekend – the best Field Training Exercise (FTX) yet! I would like to personally thank Dr. Fisher and Dr. Breezel from Harding University for providing most of Friday evening’s meal, along with Harding University for allowing 84 of our Cadets to use Gilliam Farms as this semester’s training site.
Cadets conducted several iterations of day/night land navigation, various classes on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), the ASIP radio, and other topics, along with Situational Training Exercise (STX) lanes for attack, movement-to-contact, ambush, and raid.
Following STX lanes, the top performing leader from each platoon was recognized with a coin from our newest member of the cadre, CPT Tatum. He generously provided his former Company Commander’s coin to MS-III Cadets Matthew Bain (A-State) and Alaina Thomas (Harding University).
Great effort from all the Cadets and cadre and the cadre are proud of our Cadets as they continue to prepare for Cadet Summer Training (CST) Advanced Camp and mentor each other along the way.
