We fly to most local field training. The fall FTX focuses on Land Navigation, day and night, round robin training for common soldier tasks, and bivouac techniques. Prior to attending the fall FTX basic course cadets are taught how to pack their equipment, set up tents, etc. The spring FTX focuses on preparing cadets for future challenges in and out of the Army. Tasks trained include small unit tactics, platoon offense and platoon defense.
Cadets explain mission using terrain models.
