During the first lab back from winter break, Bear Battalion Cadets completed their required Combat Water Survival Training

ROTC Combat Water Survival Training (CWST) is designed to assess and enhance cadets’ ability to operate in aquatic environments under physically and mentally challenging conditions. The training typically includes exercises such as swimming in full uniform, equipment treading, gear ditching, and a blindfolded drop from a diving board to simulate real-world combat scenarios. These drills help build water confidence, improve endurance, and prepare cadets for situations where they may need to navigate water obstacles during military operations.

CWST is an essential component of ROTC training, ensuring that future officers develop resilience and survival skills in demanding conditions.

Meet 2nd Lieutenant Genesis White Military United States Army

2nd Lieutenant Genesis Amena White was born on February 3, 2002, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and grew up in Fort Washington, Maryland. She is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in business management in the fall of 2024 at Morgan State University where she has distinguished herself academically and as a leader within the Bear Battalion. 2nd Lieutenant White joined the ROTC program in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenging time for many. Despite the challenges, she committed herself to the rigorous physical demands.

Though having no prior service experience 2nd Lieutenant White overcame by preparing herself diligently for fitness tests and quickly adapted to Army lifestyle. Overcoming these early challenges, by her junior year, she earned a spot on battalion staff in the role of Battalion Executive Officer.

Throughout her journey, 2nd Lieutenant White has received encouragement from her family, battle buddies, and cadre in battalion. She aims to be a role model for her younger brothers, Xavion and Micah, by demonstrating resilience and dedication to breaking barriers and achieving black excellence. For 2nd Lieutenant White, success is defined not by one’s starting point but by the strength and character shown in reaching the finish line. 2nd Lieutenant White will serve in the reserve component of the Army. 2nd Lieutenant White encourages future generations of young cadets and leaders and is proud to serve.
