MILS 302 - Small Unit Leadership

Unit(s): 4

In this course, Cadets will 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, the successful Cadet will be capable of planning, coordinating, navigating, motivating and leading a squad and platoon in the execution of a mission during a classroom Practical Exercise (PE), a Leadership Lab, or during a Leader Training Exercise (LTX). Cadets will be required to write peer evaluations and receive feedback on their abilities as leaders, and on how to improve those leader skills to further develop themselves as successful officers. Cadets will receive systematic and specific feedback on leadership attributes, values, and core leader competencies from the instructor, other ROTC cadre, and MS IV Cadets, who will provide evaluation using the Cadet Officer Evaluation System (OES). Successful completion of this course will help prepare Cadets for the ROTC Cadet Leader Course (CLC) that they will attend in the summer at Fort Knox, KY. This course includes physical fitness training, which develops the cadet’s strength, endurance, flexibility and confidence leading small groups.
