MSCI 3101

Adaptive Team Leadership

Academically challenging course where Cadets study, practice, and apply the fundamentals of Army leadership, Army values and ethics, personal development, and small unit tactics at the squad level. At the conclusion of this course, cadets will be capable of planning, coordinating, navigating, motivating and leading a 9-person squad in the execution of a tactical mission during a classroom practical exercise, a leadership lab, or during a situational training exercise (STX) in a field environment. Successful completion of this course helps prepare cadets for success at the ROTC Cadet Leader Course (CLC) which they attend the following summer at Fort Knox, KY. Cadets receive systematic and specific feedback on their leader attributes, values and core leader competencies from their instructor, other ROTC cadre, and MSIV Cadets who evaluate them using the ROTC leader development program (LDP) model. Cadets will be tasked with managing the training of MS II cadets based on direction from MS IV cadets. Course includes instruction in squad operations, problem solving, and combat orders. Participation in leadership lab is required.
