MS 439 : LAB FOR MS 429

The MS Lab focuses on the practical application of the subjects taught in the classroom during MS 429. Cadets will meet rigorous leadership challenges, reinforced by consistent instructor evaluation and mentorship. Leadership exercises will include tactical scenarios as well as the development and delivery of small group instruction for other cadets. This extensive training program also includes physical fitness, land navigation, drill and ceremonies, mission planning and written and oral communication skills. Cadets are required to participate in one field training exercise each semester, in which they will practice both leadership and teamwork and demonstrate their tactical and technical proficiency. This laboratory course companions the MS 429 class, and all contracted cadets must take the appropriate lab section simultaneously with those classes each semester.  Note: Instructor approval required. This course is the equivalent of MS 319. Corequisite(s): MS 429
