MS 003C - Adaptive Team Leadership

Semester Hours: 3
Fall
This course is designed to enable a student with no prior military or cadet experience to quickly learn essential cadet knowledge and skills 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 appropriate in this term because this is the first course that all cadets, regardless of your route of entry into ROTC, must take. Students must participate in leadership positions through all Leadership Labs and during the fall Leadership Weekend exercise. The course meets twice per week.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
