The program requires a minimum of 108 hours of class time in each school year. To earn an Honor Unit with Distinction award, an organization must earn nine-hundred points out of a possible thousand points on a formal inspection. A formal inspection takes place every two years. Also inspected are the supply room and records, cadet administrative records, and a general inspection pass in review. Each of the staff members briefs the inspectors on their duties.
Cadets display the unit award, a gold star, on their uniforms above their name tags.
Multiple year awards also get to wear a colored background between the wreath and star. The battalion is active in the community. The battalion has adopted the Ann Grady Center for the mentally handicapped as our main service project which keep our cadets active and providing needed services to Holland and the greater Toledo area. One of the highlights of the year is the annual Military Ball , held in March each year. Parents, alumni, and guests had a great time.
