Military Science Laboratories
MS Labs are conducted every
Thursday afternoon during the academic semester. Labs are a
supplement to classroom instruction, providing cadets with
practical, hands-on experience in leader tasks and helping to
prepare them for the
National
Advanced Leadership Course at Fort Lewis, Washington.
MS Labs are normally planned and
executed by MS IV Cadets who instruct and evaluate lower level
cadets through the training. Tasks trained during MS Labs include
land navigation, individual movement techniques, patrolling
activities, and rappelling to name a few.
Field Leadership Reaction
Course
The Field Leadership Reaction Course (FLRC)
is a series of timed obstacles to be negotiated by an infantry
squad. Each obstacle represents a problem which must be overcome
for the squad to accomplish its mission. At each obstacle, a new
squad leader is designated from the squad, who receives a brief
set of instructions from an evaluator. The squad leader must then
follow the Troop Leading Procedures and direct the squad to
accomplish its mission. During the timed event, the squad leader
is evaluated on his/her ability to effectively communicate,
command & control the squad, implement the Problem-Solving
Process, and react to change.
SROTC Cadets will encounter the FLRC at a
minimum at the Leader's Training Course (Ft. Knox, KY), and the
National Advanced Leadership Course (Ft. Lewis, WA). They may also
have the opportunity to execute this training during the academic
year. Wentworth Military Academy has an FLRC on its campus, and
Wentworth SROTC cadets normally execute the FLRC at least once per
year. |
