necessary for integration into the cadet battalion and successful
performance of key cadet tasks. First, the student will be introduced
to principles of physical fitness and healthy lifestyle to enable them
to effectively work to improve or maintain your physical fitness from
the very beginning of the term. Next, is an introduction to the Leader
Development Program that will be used to evaluate leadership
performance and provide developmental feedback for the remaining
military science courses. To help prepare students for their
responsibilities in teaching and participating in Military Science and
Leadership Labs, instruction will focus on how to plan and conduct
individual and small unit training, as well as basic tactical
principles. Following these important introductory modules, the course
turns to a four-week study of reasoning skills and the
military-specific application of these skills in the form of the Army’s
troop leading procedure. The term concludes its final four weeks with a
detailed examination of officership, which culminates in a five-hour
officership case study. This treatment of officership is especially

MS 4C - Developing Adaptive Leaders Semester Hours: 3 Fall
This course begins with a series of lessons designed to enable the
student to make informed career decisions to prepare them in their
transformation from cadet to commissioned officer. Lessons concentrate
on Army operations and training management, communications and
leadership skills and support the beginning of the final transition
from cadet to lieutenant. The course enables the student, early in the
year; to attain knowledge and proficiency in several critical areas
needed to operate effectively as an Army officer. These areas include:
the Army’s training management system, coordinating activities with
staffs, and counseling skills. The introduction of these subjects early
in the semester has the added benefit of preparing the student to lead
the cadet battalion throughout the remainder of the year. While the
proficiency attained in each of these areas will initially be at the
apprentice level, the student will continue to sharpen these skills as
they perform roles as a cadet officer in the ROTC battalion and as a
new lieutenant after commissioning. At the end of this semester
students will possess the fundamental skills, attributes, and abilities
to operate as competent leaders in the cadet battalion and confidently
shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to them. Students must
participate in leadership positions throughout all Leadership Labs and
during the Leadership Weekend exercise. The course meets twice per week.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes: Completion of the Basic Course and the MS III year. (Formerly Organizational Command; Leadership and Management.)
