MS 302 :
Applied Ldrshp Small Unit Op

Students study, practice, and apply the fundamentals of Army Leadership, Officership, Army Values and Ethics, Personal Development, and small unit tactics at the platoon level. At the conclusion of this course, students will be capable of planning, coordinating, navigating, motivating and leading a squad and platoon in the execution of a mission during a classroom PE, a Leadership Lab, or during a Leader Training Exercise (LTX). They will be required to write peer evaluations and receive feedback on their abilities as a leader and how to improve those leader skills that can further develop them into a successful officer. Includes reading, homework, small group assignments, briefings, case studies, and practical exercises, a mid-term exam, and a final exam. Students receive systematic and specific feedback on their leader attributes, values, and core leader competencies from their instructor, other ROTC cadre, and MSL IV Cadets who will evaluate them using the Cadet Officer Evaluation System (OES). Successful completion of this course will help prepare students for the ROTC Cadet Leader Course (CLC), which they will attend in the summer at Fort Knox, KY.
