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).
