Our Cadets and Advisors Honor the past of the Citadel by living what past cadets experienced. The Citadel Military Living History Society, also known as the Reenactment Club, focuses on honoring the sacrifices made by Citadel alumni and all U.S. We wish to educate the public about the battles, uniforms, weaponry, and even just the daily life of soldiers through our reenactments. While we have fun at our events, the mission of the club for cadets goes much deeper. We train every cadet to be proficient in handling black powder weaponry from muskets all the way up to 6 pounder cannons. Every cadet is given the change to grow as a leader whether be as a club officer, a squad leader in battle, or as training cadre for the incoming knobs. On top of leadership training, all cadets are given a course in having proper manners. This trains encases everything from how to escort a lady to the correct way to greet an officer. The cadets are also instructed to speak to every guest that comes into our camp and to be friendly and helpful with any questions they might have. The Citadel Military Living History Society helps mold the cadets into young gentlemen and ladies.
