UMaine ROTC to participate in field training Oct. 23–25
About 80 cadets in the University of Maine Army ROTC program will take part in a field training exercise Oct. 23–25 at the Maine National Guard Plymouth Area Training Site in Plymouth.
The training is designed to test the cadets’ resiliency, critical thinking and leadership skills, which are practiced and developed through cadet-led tactical training exercises.
During the event, the cadets will learn how to lead groups and perform military maneuvers that range from executing a basic attack to interacting with civilians on the battlefield.
The cadets will do instructional training during the first two days, and will lead missions and apply the skills they learned on the last day.
The UMaine ROTC Field Training Exercise is a joint effort between the Maine Army National Guard and the UMaine Army ROTC program. For more information, contact Charles Rote at 581.1121 or charles.rote@maine.edu.
