The only change that will be made is that cadets will not run in between lanes, they will RANGE walk. Also, if there is lightening there will not be a pull up lane. This lane will be turned into sit-ups instead. Concept of the Operation: Cadets and BCC’s will conduct a squad competition Phase 1- Preparation: Cadets will form up in the parking lot under the baseball fields for FF. Cadets will be split into 9 squads with an assigned MSIII as squad leader. An assigned MSIV will move with each squad in order to evaluate Phase 2- Movement: Each squad will move out to assigned starting lane where two MSIV’s will be stationed Phase 3- Execution: Each lane will begin at the sound of the horn. Squads will have 5 minutes to complete task. Each lane will be timed/graded for speed, accuracy, and quantity by assigned MSIV’s. After 5 min squads will have 2 min to rotate to next lane, in numerical order. Phase 4- Exfil: Cadets will regroup at FF cite, turn in weapons, and conduct a final AAR (Elliot, Roessel).
