Cadets gain individual confidence through accomplishment of tough training.
Platoon competition then develops the collective cohesion from these individual performances. Training is sequenced in a logical, building-block manner. Cadets learn basic military skills in order to function as a small unit member. Training begins with mechanical training, progresses through fundamentals of firing, the weaponeer device, shot grouping, zero, and practice record firing. Cadets also receive familiarization training on other primary individual and squad level weapons.
