This week’s lab focused on strengthening cadets’ tactical fundamentals through hands on training in range cards, hand and arm signals, react to contact drills, squad and fireteam roles, formations, and movement techniques. Meanwhile, MS3’s applied these in their squad attack training.

Cadets practiced using range cards to improve security and situational awareness, communicating through hand and arm signals, and reacting to simulated contact as a team. They also reinforced individual squad responsibilities and movement techniques such as traveling, traveling overwatch, and bounding overwatch.

WHAT’S YOUR 64? 💚💙

For more than a decade, MSU and U-M ROTC have carried on the 64-mile tradition of Alex’s Great State Race in honor of Alex Powell and to support students with disabilities.

Now, we’re challenging you to find your 64!

64 miles. 64 reps. 64 minutes. 64 acts of kindness. Whatever your challenge is choose it and pass it on.

🍂 HAPPY FALL, SPARTANS! 🍂

Last Thursday, our MS1/2 Cadets trained radio etiquette, individual movement techniques (IMT), medic responsibilities, and leadership responsibilities.

Meanwhile, MS3 Cadets headed to the Woodlot to practice their tactical skills through Troop Leading Procedures in the patrol base. Great work all around!

Proud to highlight two of our Army ROTC alumni continuing to serve and lead in the Army.

1LT Nicodemus, Class of ’23, and 1LT Shamine, Class of ’24, recently conducted a Hollywood jump at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, with the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.

Their continued commitment to leadership, readiness, and service reflects the values developed through Army ROTC and carried forward throughout their careers.

This week the Spartan Battalion conducted their first Land Navigation Lab. They were given an initial brief on the terrain and boundaries. Before stepping off, the cadets were given time to verify pace counts, plot their points and shoot azimuths.

Keep it up Cadets!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

This week, Spartan Battalion Cadets built their fundamentals through hands-on land navigation training. MS I and II Cadets worked on map reading, plotting points, terrain association, and the skills needed to confidently navigate in the field. MS III Cadets took a land navigation exam and worked on route planning.

One lab closer to being ready for Woodlot!
