Two teams are the norm. First Sergeant David Alexander is the departmental sponsor. The members of Recon receive training in advanced map reading and compass navigation, mountaineering, and survival. Recon conducts most of their outdoor training in the area about 70 miles west of the campus. During the school year, Recon will conduct a mini-freeze exercise so those cadets can practice survival techniques during cold weather and then a spring fling to refine their outdoor skills.
All equipment is provided.
Lieutenant C olonel Burl Magee is the departmental sponsor.
