brock.j.young replied to the topic Cadet Development SOP/Program in the forum Junior Officer 5 years, 2 months ago

Year 1/2 SMPs with no/little military experience; I would attach them to a team leader and then squad leader. Let them learn the ropes at the team and squad levels and see down and dirty, tactical level…[Read more]
