NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
CHAPTER 1
GUIDING VALUES, VISION, MISSION AND OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
1-1. Norwich University’s Statement of Guiding Values. Norwich University was founded in 1819 by Captain
Alden Partridge, U.S. Army, and is the oldest senior private military college in the country. Norwich University is a
diversified academic institution that educates traditional age students in a Corps of Cadets or as civilians, and adult
students. Norwich identifies the following as our guiding values:
• We are men and women of honor and integrity. We shall not tolerate those who lie, cheat, or steal.
• We are dedicated to learning, emphasizing teamwork, leadership, creativity, and critical thinking.
• We respect the right to diverse points of view as a cornerstone of our democracy.
• We encourage service to nation and others before self.
• We stress being physically fit and drug free.
• To live the Norwich motto - I Will Try! - meaning perseverance in the face of adversity.
• We stress self-discipline, personal responsibility, and respect for law.
• We hold in the highest esteem our people and reputation.
1-2. Norwich University’s Vision Statement. Norwich University will be a learning community, American in
character yet global in perspective, engaged in personal and intellectual transformation and dedicated to knowledge,
mutual respect, creativity and service.
1-3. Norwich University’s Mission Statement – 1843 Catalog. To give our youth an education that shall be
American in its character – to enable them to act as well as to think – to execute as well as to conceive – to “tolerate
all opinions when reason is left free to combat them”* – to make moral, patriotic, efficient, and useful citizens, and to
qualify them for all those high responsibilities resting upon a citizen of this free republic. *Thomas Jefferson
1-4. Norwich University’s Institutional Priorities=I5
• Improve Learning
• Inspire Students
• Information Technology for All
• Internationalize the Campus
• Invest Strategically
1-5. The Corps Mission Statement. To create a positive military learning environment to develop the whole cadet
- mentally, morally, academically, and physically - and to instill in each cadet, guiding values, attributes and competencies essential for successful leadership upon graduation.
1-6. The Corps Operational Philosophy describes how the Corps of Cadets accomplishes its Mission. Leadership
is both a science and an art that must be studied and practiced. The Corps of Cadets offers a four-year progressive
leadership experience to prepare cadets to serve as military officers or captains of industry. The desired leadership
practice is based on positive relationships and mutual respect and not one that is disrespectful or adversarial in nature.
Cadets are challenged and encouraged through positive instruction, experiential learning, evaluation and counseling
in positions of ever-increasing responsibility within a culturally diverse and mixed-gender leadership environment to
fully develop their leadership potential. Cadet leaders are successful when they are competent in their academic major,
are physically able to lead, and above all, are ethically sound. Consequently, the Corps of Cadets program develops the
“Whole Person” with the ambitious goal of “Every Cadet a Scholar; Every Cadet Physically Fit; Every Cadet a Moral
Leader and Person.”
1-7. The Definition of Leadership as it applies to the Corps of Cadets: “Leadership is influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.”
Ref: FM 6-22 Army Leadership, part 1, chapter 1.

3-10. Unit Manning Report. The NUCC Unit Manning Report (UMR), included as Appendix A of this chapter,
prescribes the Commandant’s authorization for cadet leadership positions in the Corps. Cadets are assigned to a paragraph and line number that corresponds to a unique leadership position. The regimental Sl will work directly with the
Housing Officer on the assignment of individual cadets to the UMR through the system of competitive promotion delineated in Chapter 4 of this reference. In accordance with the guidance in Chapter 4, and on a yearly basis, the UMR
will be updated, approved by the Commandant, and published to Corps and the University community prior to the
Corps change of command and promotion ceremony.
a. Effect of Unit Integrity on the UMR. The Commandant’s desire to preserve unit integrity in barracks assignments will necessarily affect the size of Corps units – especially the specialty units – and may lead to companies
that are disproportionately large or small. This may result in units having additional or fewer subordinate units
(e.g. a company with two platoons, or a platoon with four squads).
b. Authorization to Wear Rank above Cadet Private. No cadet may wear rank above the base rank of private
without being assigned to, and currently serving in, a position on the UMR. Removal from a cadet leadership
position on the UMR effectively ends any authority to wear the rank commensurate with the previous position.
Cadets removed from their leadership position revert to the base rank of cadet private.
c. Updates to the UMR. Updates to the UMR will only be made after the chain of command has prepared an
Admin Action Form and submitted it through the regimental S1 and the Housing Officer for approval. A cadet
is not authorized to wear rank or exercise the authorities of a leadership position until the Admin Action Form
has been approved by the housing officer and the UMR updated.

CHAPTER 4
CORPS RANK AND PROMOTION SYSTEM
4-1. Purpose. To define the policy of the NUCC Rank structure and explain the selection procedure for promotion
to competitive rank in the Corps. Obtaining rank (above rank of Private) is based on a competitive process and each
position is based on an assigned billet. The cadet selection and promotion process should strive to identify cadets who
are capable and willing to lead their peers and personify our guiding values. The four-year progressive leadership model
is designed to prepare cadets for increased responsibility and command in the Corps of Cadets. The promotion process
will take into account a cadet’s academic record, physical fitness test, annual evaluation, promotion boards, campus
and community involvement, as well as any disciplinary issues. These assessment measures will serve as the basis of the
cadet’s potential for increased responsibility and rank in the Corps. Every Cadet has the opportunity to compete for
promotion based on his or her own merit. An Order of Merit list will be generated from the above criteria and Cadets
selected for competitive rank will be based on individual achievement and the needs of the Corps. The goal of this program is to select and promote the best individuals into higher positions of responsibility in the Corps.
4-2. Rank in the Corps of Cadets. All ranks above Private are competitive and based on an assigned billet. With the
exception of recruits, all cadets not selected for competitive rank are assigned the rank of Private, regardless of class year.
After recruits are recognized as cadets, they are assigned the rank of private. Sophomores may be promoted to the rank
of corporal, while juniors may be assigned in the grades of sergeant through battalion command sergeant major. Seniors
are eligible for promotion in the grades of sergeant (team leader), Regimental command sergeant major, and second
lieutenant through colonel.
4-3. Promotion Process. Overview. All Cadets who apply for competitive rank must be academically, physically and
conduct proficient in order to be selected for promotion during the current academic year. All rising juniors, sophomores and freshmen desiring promotion will complete a Rank Application form by the due date determined by the
Adjutant. Submissions will be directed to the Adjutant for eligibility verification. All cadets are encouraged to apply but
only those cadets in good academic standing, and who obtain a minimum physical fitness score of 180, and are not on
disciplinary probation will be eligible for selection to competitive rank during the current promotion cycle. Cadets who
are eligible to hold rank and do not submit a rank application may still be considered for promotion. If promoted, the
cadet may decline to accept the promotion.
a. Rank Application form: The Rank Application form details the specific jobs the cadet has held, involvement in
student activities, and most importantly what billet(s) the cadet wishes to compete for. Student activities such as
NUCC billet, athletics, specialty units, clubs and other campus activities annotated on this form will be numerically scored to determine the cadet Student Activity score. Only 2YR cadets who complete all staff led training
can compete for senior level NCO positions (SFC and above).
b. Initial Order of Merit determination: The Initial Order of Merit (IOML) is used to determine those most
deserving cadets to meet a promotion board. The IOML is based on four elements to determine initial order
rankings. The top individuals as listed on the IOML will be offered the opportunity to meet Promotion Boards.
Accepting and/or attending a promotion board is not mandatory, however those not attending a board will
receive a “0” for Promotion Board scoring in the Final Order of Merit list. These scores will be collected and
tabulated at the end of the fall semester. These scores include:
• Cumulative GPA (current fall semester)
40% of IOML
• PT score (based on 300 maximum score)
20% of IOML
• Corps 9-1 evaluation (intermediate reviewer score)
20% of IOML
• Cadet Student activity score (Rank application form)
20% of IOML
c. Promotion Boards: Those individuals offered a promotion board will be notified by the Adjutant. All selected
who wish to meet a promotion board will sign-up on the official board posted by the Adjutant. Boards will be
made up of a least three members who may include the Commandant, an Assistant Commandant, Command
Sergeant Major, Faculty or Staff Member, ROTC faculty, or a senior ranking member of the Corps of Cadets.
Cadets meeting these boards will be scored and their score will be an element in the Final Order of Merit list.
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
35
d. Promotion Board scoring: All cadets meeting a promotion board will be assessed using the following criteria;
professional appearance, communicative ability, and leadership potential. Each category will be scored on a 1
(minimum) to 5 (maximum) point score. The following weighting will determine the final board score:
• Promotion Potential
1-5 points
• Communicative Ability
1-5 points
• Professional Appearance
1-5 points
e. Total out of 15 points is 20% of final OMLFinal Order of Merit determination (FOML). The Final Order of
Merit is based on four elements to determine final order ranking. These scores will be collected and tabulated at
the end of the board process. These include:
• Cumulative GPA (current fall semester)
40% of FOML
• PT score (based on 300 maximum score)
20% of FOML
• Promotion Board score (based on 20 pts maximum)
20% of FOML
• Senior Rater 9-1 rating (maximum 40 pts)
20% of FOML
f.
Promotion Board Slating.
Once the FOML has been assembled, the Commandant will convene the Promotion Slating Committee consisting of the Commandant, Assistant Commandants, Director of Operations and Training, and Command
Sergeants Major. Using the FOML as the primary basis for selection, the committee will slot those highest
scoring cadets into billets of the individual cadets choosing recognizing that the needs of the Corps will be
the final determinant in the slotting of cadet positions.
1.
2.
3.
It is the intention of the Commandant that cadets receive the widest possible leadership opportunities within
the Corps. Therefore, cadets assigned to billets in Rook battalions in one academic year should expect promotion assignment to an upperclassmen unit the following year. Likewise, those assigned to upperclassmen
units should expect promotion assignment to a rook battalion the next year.
The Commandant and his staff will select the following cadets for promotion based on the FOML:
Regimental Executive Officer
Regimental Command Sergeant Major
Battalion Commander
Battalion Executive Officer
Battalion Command Sergeant Major/ Inspector General
Regimental Staff
Company Executive Officer
Company First Sergeant
Platoon Leaders
Platoon Sergeants
Squad Leaders/ Team Leaders
Company Commander
g. Authorization Document. Rank and positions that make up the regiment are determined by the Office of
the Commandant with the publication of a Unit Manning Report (UMR). The UMR ensures that there is one
position authorized for each cadet rank. It matches a name with a rank and a position and becomes the organization document for orders, which authorize cadets to wear rank and to act with the authority of a position. See
Appendix A to Chapter 3 to NUCC SOP.
h. Prohibition. No cadet may wear rank without orders for an authorized UMR billet. No orders will be published
unless there is an authorized position vacancy on the UMR.
i.
Administrative Actions. Cadets may be recommended for promotion, demotion or reassignment within these
positions using the NUCC Administrative Action Form (NUCC 8.2) in Chapter Eight of this NUCC SOP.
4-4. Promotion Process to Regimental Commander.
a. Cadets desiring to be considered for promotion to Regimental Commander must:
36
1.
Have passed the NUPFT at the time of application
2.
Have a minimum 2.5 cumulative and semester GPA the previous semester of the application. This GPA must
be maintained throughout the spring semester when promotions are announced. In addition, a review of the
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
cadet’s 201 file for any major discipline issues will be considered. Failure to maintain a 2.5 GPA may warrant
removal from Regimental Commander promotion.
3.
Found guilty of no greater than one Class I offense.
4.
Not been found guilty of an honor violation.
b. Interested candidates will submit a formal cover letter and resume to the Commandant by the date posted by
the Adjutant. Based on these written documents, members of the Commandant’s Staff will conduct a promotion
board for all regimental commander applicants that meet the criteria in paragraph 4.4.a. Based on promotion
board results, the most qualified candidates will be interviewed by the Commandant and the Senior Vice President for Student Affairs and IT who will select the best qualified candidates to interview with the President. After
consultation with the Commandant, the President will select the cadet to be promoted to serve as the Regimental
Commander the next academic year.
c. Applicants will also participate in the normal promotion process as annotated above to determine other positions of interest and qualification.
4-5. Promotion List. Once the slating of billets is complete, the final list will be sent to the Adjutant for final eligibility
verification. Once verified, the Adjutant will post the list of those cadets to be promoted to positions in the next academic year.
4-6. Rank, Title and Positions in the NUCC. See the current version of the Corps Unit Manning Report (UMR) at
Appendix A to Chapter 3 (Corps Organization) to NUCC SOP.

PART 1 General Uniform Information.
5-2. General.
a. The Norwich University Corps of Cadets is a disciplined organization which is judged in part by the manner in
which cadets wear a prescribed uniform, as well as the individual’s personal appearance. Therefore, a neat and
well-groomed appearance by all cadets is fundamental to the Corps and contributes to building pride and esprit
de corps essential to this organization. It is a responsibility of commanders to ensure that cadets under their command present a neat and military appearance. Cadets must take pride in their appearance in or out of uniform,
and on or off duty. Pride in appearance includes a cadet’s physical fitness.
b. Periodic clothing inspections will be held to ensure that all members of the NU Corps of Cadets have the required
number of uniforms and that all uniforms are properly fitted and serviceable. Cadets are required to maintain the
proper number of serviceable clothing items to meet all uniform classifications as well as maintain serviceability
and appropriate levels of personal hygiene.
c. Cadets will wear the prescribed Uniform of the Day (UOD) every day from first call until directly after consuming the evening meal. This includes daily formations, academic classes, final exams (day or night), in academic
buildings and thedining facility, on the Upper Parade Field (UP), between Reveille and Retreat on weekends and
as prescribed by the Commandant and Regimental Commander. Cadets are to refer to the Uniform Code Flags
posted on the pole adjacent to Dewey Hall for the UOD and special formations. At no time will a cadet wear a
mixed uniform (e.g. civilian shirt and uniform trousers). Cadets with UOD exceptions must be in possession of
a Special Uniform Authorization Slip. See paragraph 5-5.
d. Faculty and staff members have the authority to, and are expected to, remove cadets who are not in proper uniform, or who are not wearing the uniform properly, from a classroom, laboratory or the mess hall unless they
have obtained a Special Uniform Authorization Slip. Cadets are not authorized to wear civilian clothes in the
classroom, laboratories or during final exams unless they have a uniform authorization slip signed by a Company
Commander, Senior Enlisted Advisor and Instructor or Assistant Commandant.

represents not only their organization, but the Regiment and Norwich University. Therefore, the T-shirt must
be in good taste. The Uniform Committee must approve the final design in writing before a purchase order is
submitted to the manufacturer. T-shirt designs that are not in good taste, offensive in nature, disrespectful to a
person, groups or organizations will not be approved or worn. T-shirts without the aforementioned approval are

PART 2 Personal Appearance.
5-7. Basic Appearance. All cadets will maintain high standard of dress and appearance. Uniforms will be properly
fitted. Trousers, pants, shirts, or skirts will not fit tightly. All uniforms will be serviceable, clean, and pressed as necessary.
Norwich cadets must project a military image that leaves no doubt that they live by a common Corps standard and are
responsible to military order and discipline. To assist inspecting officers with inspecting to standards, and to inform
a cadet if he or she is meeting the standards, the NUCC Personnel Inspection Evaluation form will be utilized. See
Chapter 5, Appendix B.
a. Hair (Male and Female): The requirements for hair grooming standards are necessary to maintain uniformity
within the Corps population. Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. Therefore,
it is the responsibility of leaders at all levels to exercise good judgment in the enforcement of this standard.
1) Hairstyles must allow headgear to fit snugly and comfortably, without distortion of the headgear. Hairstyles
that do not allow cadets to wear headgear properly are prohibited.
2) Extreme, eccentric, or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are unauthorized. If cadets use dye, tints, or bleaches, they
must choose those that result in natural hair color. Color that detract from a professional military appearance
are prohibited. Therefore, cadets will avoid using colors that result in an extreme appearance. Applied hair
colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright red, and
fluorescent or neon colors.
3) Cadets who have a texture of hair that does not part naturally may cut a part into the hair. The part will be one
straight line, not slanted or curved, and will fall in the area where the cadet would normally part hair. Cadets
will not cut designs into the hair or scalp.
b. Male haircuts: (Figure 5-1) will conform to the following standards.
1) The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive or
present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. The bulk or length of hair will not interfere with normal
wear of headgear. The hair must present a tapered appearance and will not stand excessively tall. A tapered
appearance is one where the outline of the cadet’s hair conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to
the natural termination point at the base of the neck. When the hair is combed, it will not fall over the ears or
eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block-cut fullness in
the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained. Males are not authorized
to wear braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted, individual parts of hair) while in uniform
or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized. Fad haircuts are
not authorized.
2) Males will keep sideburns neatly trimmed. Sideburns may not flare, taper, or come to a point; the base of the
sideburn will be a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening.
3) First, Second, and Third Year Cadet males will keep their face clean-shaven when in uniform or in civilian
clothing on duty. If appropriate medical authority prescribes beard growth, the length required for medical
treatment must be specified and approved by their Assistant Commandant, the proper Form 8-9 will be
carried at all times for the duration of the medical condition. For example, “The length of the beard will not
48
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
exceed 1/4 inch.” Cadets will keep the growth trimmed to the level specified by appropriate medical authority,
but they are not authorized to shape the growth into goatees, or “FU-Manchu” or handlebar mustaches.
4) Fourth Year Cadets are authorized mustaches. The mustache will be kept neatly trimmed, tapered, and tidy
and will not present a chopped-off appearance. No portion of the mustache will cover the upper lip line
or extend below or horizontally beyond the corners of the mouth. (See figure 5-1) Handlebar mustaches,
“FU-Manchu”, goatees, and beards are not authorized. If appropriate medical authority prescribes beard
growth, the length required for medical treatment must be specified and approved by their Assistant Commandant, the proper Form 8-9 will be carried at all times for the duration of the medical condition. For
example, “The length of the beard will not exceed 1/4 inch.” Cadets will keep the growth trimmed to the level
specified by appropriate medical authority.

c. Female haircuts: (Figure 5-2) will conform to the following standards.
1) Females will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk are not excessive, and that the hair
does not present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved
portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited. Females may wear
braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the
head. Dreadlocks (unkempt, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) are prohibited in uniform or civilian
clothes on duty. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any time
during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the bottom of the
collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so no free-hanging hair is
visible. This includes styles worn with the physical fitness uniform.
2) Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are secured
to the head (allowing hair to hang freely), widely spaced individual hanging locks, and other extreme styles
that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are authorized: however,
these additions must have the same general appearance as the individual’s natural hair. Additionally, any wigs,
extensions, hairpieces, or weaves must comply with the grooming standards already stated.
3) Females will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of headgear. When headgear is worn, the
hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the front of the headgear, nor will it extend below the bottom
edge of the collar.
4) Hair holding devices are authorized only for the purpose of securing hair. Female cadets will not place
hair-holding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair holding devices must be plain and of a color
as close to the cadet’s hair color as possible or clear. Authorized devices include small, plain scrunchies, barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive, or decorative
are prohibited. Prohibited devices include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads, bows, or claw
clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and bows made from
hairpieces.

d. Cosmetics: As with hairstyles, the requirement for standards regarding cosmetics is necessary to maintain uniformity and to avoid an extreme or unmilitary appearance. Males are prohibited from wearing cosmetics, to
include finger nail polish. Females are authorized to wear cosmetics with all uniforms, provided they are applied
conservatively and in good taste and complement the uniform. Leaders at all levels must exercise good judgment
in enforcement of this standard.
1) Females may wear cosmetics if they are conservative and complement the uniform and their complexion.
Eccentric, exaggerated, or trendy cosmetic styles and colors, to include makeup designed to cover up tattoos,
are inappropriate with the uniform and are prohibited. Permanent makeup, such as eyebrow or eyeliner, is
authorized as long as the makeup conforms to the standard outlined above.
2) Females will not wear shades of lipstick that distinctly contrast with their complexion, that detract from the
uniform, or that are extreme. Examples of extreme colors are, but are not limited to, purple, gold, blue, black,
white, bright red, khaki, camouflage colors and fluorescent colors.
3) Females will comply with the cosmetics policy while in uniform or while in civilian clothes on duty.
e. Fingernails: All personnel will keep fingernails clean and neatly trimmed. Males will keep nails trimmed so as
not to extend beyond the fingertips. Females will not exceed a nail length of ¼ inch, as measured from the tip of
the finger. Females may only wear clear polish when in uniform or while in civilian clothes on duty. Females may
wear clear acrylic nails, provided they have a natural appearance and conform to standard.
f.
Hygiene and body grooming: Cadets will maintain good personal hygiene and grooming on a daily basis and
wear the uniform so as not to detract from their overall military appearance.
g. Jewelry Standard:
1) Cadets may wear a wristwatch, a wrist medical alert identification bracelet, and a total of two rings in any
cadet uniform. Any jewelry worn by cadets must be conservative and in good taste. Identification bracelets
are limited to medical alert bracelets and KIA/MIA/POW identification bracelets. Cadets may only wear one
item on each wrist. Bracelets made of parachute cord, strings, rubber bands, etc. are strictly prohibited.
2) No jewelry, other than described in the paragraph above, will appear exposed while wearing any uniform;
this includes watch chains, or similar items, as well as pens and pencils. The only authorized exceptions are
religious items worn on a conservative chain around the neck and a conservative tie tack worn with the black
four-in-hand necktie.
3) Body piercing. When on campus or other places on official duty, cadets (males included) may not attach, affix,
or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the skin.
Note: This includes nipple, ear, belly button, and tongue rings. The only exception is for female cadets as
indicated in the paragraph below.
h. Females and Earrings. Females are authorized to wear prescribed earrings with the Class A Blue Coatee, Class
A Gray Tunic, and Class B Winter/Summer uniforms.
1) Earrings may be clip-on or post-type earrings, in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond. The earrings will not
exceed 6mm or ¼ inch in diameter, and they must be unadorned and spherical. When worn, the earrings will
fit snugly against the ear. Females may wear earrings only as a matched pair, with only one earring per ear lobe.
2) Females are not authorized to wear earrings with any Class C (ACU), or NU physical fitness uniform.
3) When on duty in civilian attire, female cadets must comply with the standards stated above when wearing

Other Jewelry. Ankle bracelets, necklaces (other than conservative religious symbols), trendy items including
medallions, amulets, and personal talismans or icons are not authorized for wear in any cadet uniform, or in civilian clothes while on duty.
Tattoos or brands:
Inappropriate tattoos or brands anywhere on the head, face, and neck above the class A uniform collar is a
violation of the NUSRR.
2) Extremist, indecent, sexist, or racist tattoos and brands are prohibited, regardless of location on the body, and
will result in suspension or dismissal as they are prejudicial to good order and discipline within the Corps.

CHAPTER 6
NUCC AWARDS, DECORATIONS, SALUTES AND HONORS
PART 1 Purpose, Overview and Placement
6-1. Purpose.
To prescribe Norwich policy, criteria, and administrative instructions concerning individual and unit awards, salutes
and honors. The goal of this program is to foster accomplishment by recognizing excellence of Corps members and
motivating members to high levels of performance and service. Awards are important symbols of public recognition for
rewarding exceptionally meritorious service, or outstanding achievement and other acts or services, which are above
and beyond that normally expected and which distinguish an individual or unit among those performing similar acts or
services. Salutes and honors, such as Echo Taps formation or presentation of a saber to the Regiment, are conducted on
occasions to recognize our fallen students, alumni and friends, and publicly held special ceremonies.
Principles of Support. The cadet award system will:
a. Enable commander to recognize cadets for meritorious service and;
b. Document and record recognition for cadets and;
c. Provide a positive merit system.
6-2. Overview.
a. Wear of Awards and Decorations. Awards and decorations prescribed by the NUCC are only to be worn by
those members for whom they have been authorized. Decorations are to be worn on the uniforms outlined in
this chapter. Ribbons will not be worn on PT gear or ACU uniforms. In no case will they be worn on the black
winter jacket or summer cadet jacket.
b. When wearing of Awards is authorized. Commanders may require the wearing of awards on the following
occasions: parades, reviews, inspections, funerals, ceremonies, and social occasions. Awards may be worn at the
option of the wearer when not prohibited during normal duty hours and may also be worn on the appropriate
uniforms when off duty. Cadets shall wear all authorized ribbons. Cadets are highly encouraged to wear authorized awards on the Class B uniform.
c. When wearing of Awards is prohibited. Wearing of awards is prohibited in the following circumstances:
1. Cadets when suspended from rank or command;
2. Cadets while serving a sentence of confinement.
d. Awards and Decorations authorized to be worn. Specific awards and decorations are authorized for wear on
specified uniforms (see Chapter 5).
6-3. Placement of Ribbons on Cadet Uniforms. Ribbons are worn in rows of three. The top row of ribbons will be

SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT
7-1. References.
a. Department of the Army, Army Pamphlet, DAPAM 385-10, Army Safety Program, dtd: 23 May 2008
b. Field Manual FM 5-19, Composite Risk Management dtd July 2006
c. DA Form 7566, Apr 2005
7-2. Purpose. Establish Corp safety procedures and responsibilities and ensure they are used by cadet leaders to plan
and conduct safe training and operations.
7-3. Scope. This SOP applies to all cadets in the Corps who are responsible to conduct individual or unit training or
operations sanctioned by the Commandant.
7-4. Concept of Operations. Safety is a command responsibility that must be considered in the planning and execution of all Corps training and operations. Risk management helps leaders make sound decisions in a logical manner.
Used in a positive command climate, risk management enables decision makers at all levels to do exactly what the term
says: manage risk! Safety risk management is a specific type of risk management. Our efforts are directed toward how
safety risk management fits into the leader’s tool bag. In theory, risk management is a five-step process that is easily
integrated into the planning/decision-making model. Rather than advocate safety risk management as a separate consideration, this approach describes it as a process that leaders understand and use instinctively during event planning
and again during execution. The higher the risk involved with training and an operation, the higher the command approval of the risk mitigation procedures must be. This ensures an objective evaluation of the risk mitigation. Command
approval of acceptable level of risk is shown in Fig 7.1 below:
Approval Authority
Level of Risk
Examples of training and/or operations requiring approval.

training or activities that may cause death or permanent disability or
destroy property. University Official must be present.
Assistant
Commandant
High
Daytime off-campus training, nighttime on-campus training, field

appropriate commander in Figure 7.1 along with their training plan, MOI or OPORD.
7-5. Responsibilities.
a. Regimental, Battalion and Company Commanders. Responsible for cadet safety during all training, operNUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
101
ations, ceremonies, parades and while in the barracks common areas and individual assigned rooms; accident
prevention; and implementing the safety and risk management philosophy and procedures outlined below in
their units. Approve all risk mitigation plans found in DA Form 7566.
b. Regimental Primary, Special and Personal Staff Officers. Responsible for cadet safety and implementing
the safety and risk management philosophy and procedures outlined in this chapter within their staff sections.
c. Regimental Training / Safety Officer. Fully implement and supervise the safety and risk management philosophy and procedures outlined in this SOP.
d. Platoon, Squad and Team Leaders. Directly responsible for cadet safety and implementing the safety and risk
management philosophy outlined in this chapter in his/her unit.
7-6. Safety and Risk Management Tenets.
a. Integrate risk management into planning stages. It must be the basis for decision-making, not an afterthought or appendage. Deliberate planning, taking into account all risks, options, and feasible controls, helps
the leader avoid improvised operations. Early integration is particularly important in the design and selection of
procedures, equipment, or facilities, because it prevents expensive reengineering.
b. Accept no unnecessary risks. The leader who has authority to accept a risk has the responsibility to protect the
workforce from unnecessary risks. An unnecessary risk is one that, if eliminated, still allows accomplishment of
the organization’s mission.
c. Make risk decisions at the proper level. That’s normally the lowest level consistent with resources, authority,
and capability. The credible consequences of a course of action determine who should assume responsibility.
When first-line supervisors accept risks that could have catastrophic outcomes, proper control is lost.
d. Only accept risks if the benefits outweigh the costs. When a decision is called for, use risk management to
determine the best course of action. It is critical to weigh all the real costs, including long-term effects and legal
impact, when making a decision.
7-7. Safety and Risk Management Process.
STEP 1 - IDENTIFY RISKS. Step one in applied risk management is to identify hazards. Hazards are any conditions
with the potential to cause damage or injury, or decrease your ability to perform your mission. All hazards should
be identified before starting a new task, Figure 7.2 below:
Examples of training and/or operations requiring approval.
Support — Is support available (personnel, facilities, equipment,
supplies) and adequate to control the hazard?
Identified
METT-T
Hazards
Adequate
Yes
No
Standards — Is guidance or procedure adequately clear, practical
and specific to control hazard?
Training — Is training adequate to control hazard?
Leader — Are leaders ready, willing, and able to enforce standards
required to control hazard?
Individual — Is cadet performance sufficiently self-disciplined to
control hazard?
Figure 7.2 — Determine which risk hazards to manage.
102
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
STEP 2 - ASSESS HAZARDS. Step two is to assess the hazards to determine their cumulative effect on the planned
activity; See Figure 7.3 below. Each hazard is analyzed to determine the probability of its causing a problem
and the severity of the consequences should such a problem occur. Exercising judgment on how to eliminate
or reduce hazards to lessen the overall risk is inherent in the risk assessment process. This step concludes with
a risk assessment that describes the impact of the combined hazards. The result is a statement that qualifies the
risk associated with the operation/mission as high, medium, or low. Historical data shows that back injuries are
common and costs are inherently high.
Hazard Probability *
***>
Frequent
Likely
Occasional
Seldom
Unlikely
Catastrophic
**Severity
Critical
Marginal
Negligible
Figure 7.3 — Individual Hazard Assessment Matrix.
*Hazard Probability - The likelihood that an event will occur.
• Frequent - Occurs often, continuously experienced.
• Likely - Occurs several times.
• Occasionally - Occurs sporadically.
• Seldom - Unlikely, but can occur at some time.
• Unlikely - Can assume it will not occur.
**Hazard Severity - The degree of injury, property damage or other impairing factors.
• Catastrophic - Death or permanent total disability can occur, major system loss or major property damage.
• Critical - Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability can occur, major system damage or minor
property damage.
• Marginal - Minor injury, lost of class time due to injury, minor system damage, and minor property damage.
• Negligible - First aid or minor medical treatment required, minor system impairment.
*** Risk Levels
• E - Extremely High - Loss of ability to continue attending classes if accident occurs.
• H - High - Significant degrades ability to attend classes if accident occurs.
• M - Moderate - Minor degradation but student able to attend classes if accident occurs.
• L - Low - Little or no impact on attending classes if accident occurs.
STEP 3 - MAKE RISK DECISIONS. Step three is to make a risk decision. Leaders weigh the risk against the benefits
of performing an operation. Unnecessary risk can endanger mission accomplishment and subject employees to
unnecessary risk of accidents and injuries. Risk decisions are made at a level of management that corresponds to
the degree of risk. Guidance should be established clearly stating who makes which risk decisions. For example,
low risk decisions may be made by immediate supervisor, medium risk decision by middle management (activity/
unit), and high risk decisions by top management (directors/Command Staff). The Commander may elect to
have some decisions made at lower levels of management.
STEP 4 - IMPLEMENT CONTROLS. Step four is to implement the controls established as a result of steps one through
three. Included in this step is leader action to reduce or eliminate hazards. Controls may be as substantial as
writing an SOP or as simple as conducting a short safety briefing.
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
103
STEP 5 - SUPERVISE. Step five is to supervise. Supervision in this sense goes beyond ensuring that people do what
is expected of them. It includes following up during and after an action to ensure that all went according to
plan, reevaluating the plan or making adjustments to accommodate unforeseen issues, and incorporating lessons
learned for future use.
7-8. Hazards. Leaders need to think in terms of recognizing hazards even in the midst of carrying out changing tasks.
Hazards can be identified and minimized so even risky operations can be completed without exposing workers to needless injuries.

CADET ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY
8-1. References.
a. Norwich University Academic Regulations.
b. Norwich University Cadet Handbook.
c. Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations.
d. FM 101-5, Staff Organization and Operations.
e. TC 12-17, Adjutant’s Call, The Sl Handbook.
8-2. General. Participation in the Corps of Cadets implies and requires attendance at scheduled training and activities. Cadets are expected to be present for all Corps of Cadets Training, Service Specific ROTC Training, and academic
classes unless authorized to be absent. Authorized absences include: Special Service (SS) and Authorized Leave. Leaders
must account for their assigned cadets, and accurately report their duty status. Leaders ensure administrative actions are
completed in accordance with enclosed guidance and corrective actions are taken as necessary.
8-3. Duty. Cadets are required to perform a number of duties in support of Norwich University and the Corps of Cadets. Some duties are assigned. Others are integral responsibilities of leaders and individual cadets. Every cadet’s first
duty is to attend classes and pursue academic excellence. Each cadet is reminded that he/she has a personal responsibility to keep his/her chain of command informed as to his/ her whereabouts. On occasion a family member, professor, or
student leader may need to contact a cadet and pass critical information. It is imperative that University Officials are able
to locate and disseminate emergency information. Communication is key. The cadet door card must be maintained and
accurately reflect the student’s location. Likewise, cadets are encouraged to leave voice, email and telephonic messages,
and must follow the appropriate Leave and Pass procedures in order to meet obligations to inform others as to their
whereabouts. This procedure is designed to aid the individual cadet.
a. A cadet may not depart on leave or pass or otherwise be absent from the university if he or she has a duty or obligation unless specifically authorized or properly relieved of the duty by proper authority.
b. A cadet who must depart on Emergency Leave or other specifically authorized absence and who is scheduled for
duty must notify his or her 1SG to ensure that the duty is reassigned. The departing cadet is rescheduled for duty
upon his or her return to the University.
c. Cadets in the performance of their assigned guard detail or other special duty have the authority to issue orders
to all other cadets as necessary to accomplish their duty.
8-4. Training and Mandatory Formations
a. Requirements. Cadets are required to attend all academic classes, Corps training, and mandatory formations
unless on official absence, leave, or detached service. The only person that has the authority to excuse an individual from the Corps training/formation is the person who ordered the training/formation. For example, if the
Commandant orders the formation, only he/she can authorize an absence. The training schedule will identify the
level of command responsible for training or mandatory formations. The act of simply informing one’s chain of
command that he/she has other matters to attend to rather than participating in the scheduled Corps training/
formation does not constitute an approved absence. Such behavior would be considered absence without leave
and subject to disciplinary action.
b. The following Corps training/formations are mandatory:
1) Command Reveille
2) Tuesday Afternoon Training/Inspection
3) Command Retreat (as announced/scheduled)
4) Official Parades, March Downs, and Ceremonies/Training
5) Physical Fitness Training (as announced/scheduled)

Meetings and formations called by the President, Commandant, or Regimental Commander
c. Company Formation. Any time the company is formed, the 1SG is in charge of initiating the formation for the
commander. This includes Regimental, Battalion, and Company formations. The following tips are provided to
aid the 1SG:
1) “Fall In” – During Regimental formations the first bugle calls are “Assembly” and “Attention”. Once
“Attention” is sounded, control of the actions reverts to the Adjutant and subsequently the Regimental
Commander. Therefore, the 1SG’s time to influence action is the time from sounding “Assembly” until the
Adjutant directs, “sound attention.” The 1SG orders the company to “Fall in” and insists that all cadets do so
at the position of attention.
2) “Receive the Report” – The 1SG directs the Platoon Sergeants (PSG) to “Receive the Report”. This is required
at all formations and forms the basis for accomplishing personnel accountability. The PSGs echo the command to their respective squad/team leaders. The squad leaders collect attendance from the team leaders
and when ordered to “Report” by the PSG, render the number of cadets absent from the formation. NOTE
– Squad leaders only report numbers absent, not the reasons or excuses. After the PSG receives the numbers
absent, the PSG reports the consolidated absences to the 1SG. Do not allow a clerk to wander through the formation taking attendance on a clipboard. This practice is contrary to procedure and abdicates squad leaders’
responsibility for accountability.
3) “Stand at ease” – If time permits, the 1SG directs the company “Stand at Ease”. This is one of the few times the
company is together. Since communications is the 1SG’s principle responsibility, this is his/her opportunity to
make administrative announcements. Remember, the 1SG must be prepared to turn the company over to the
commander after “Attention” is sounded. Therefore the 1SG must prioritize his or her announcements and
make them in descending order.
4) “Post” - Once attention is sounded, the 1SG calls the company to attention. The Commander will move to
assume his/her post, using most direct route possible. Once the commander has halted at his/her post, the
1SG salutes and reports, “All present” or “(so many) cadets absent.” The commander returns the salute and
commands, “Post”. The 1SG faces about and marches to his/her post three steps to the rear and center of the
company, halts, and faces about. The guidon bearer steps forward three steps. The Platoon Sergeants face to
the right in marching and assume their posts to the rear of their platoons. The Platoon leaders march around
the left flank of their platoons and assume their posts by inclining and halting. The XO assumes his/her post
two steps to the rear of the 1SG.
d. Other formations. Formations are used to command and control organizations. Therefore, anyone in charge of
a unit can direct a meeting or formation. A squad leader might call a meeting of all assigned squad members and
all would be expected to attend. If individual cadets fail to attend, the squad leader may refer unexcused cadets
for appropriate discipline. Likewise, the squad leader has the authority to excuse an assigned squad member from
his/her meeting. As a matter of discipline and professional courtesy, subordinates do not call formations which
conflict with those of superiors.
e. Accountability/Strength Reporting. Leaders take attendance at all formations and report status through command channels using squad, platoon, company, and battalion attendance forms in accordance with report formats
and procedures outlined in this chapter, paragraph 8-8.
8-5. Leave. Cadets are encouraged to use leave. Commanders may authorize ordinary leave consistent with mission
requirements and in accordance with provisions outlined in Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations. Block
Leave will be in effect during time periods that the University is closed (e.g., Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break,
and summer vacation). Cadets are not required to request leave during block leave Reference NUSRR Ch 8 section VII
112
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
8-6. Medical Services. NU contracts medical services through the Green Mountain Family Practice. The Campus
infirmary (x2552) is available 0700-2300 hours daily.
a. If a cadet is not feeling well and desires to seek medical attention, the Cadet must inform his/her immediate supervisor and report to sick call.
b. During after duty hours, if a cadet is ill and needs immediate medical attention (e.g., acute pain or vomiting), the
individual cadet or Chain of Command shall notify the Regimental Duty Officer (RDO) (x2589), or Campus Security (x2525) who in turn will contact the infirmary. If the doctor feels it is necessary to see the cadet, the RDO,
or Security Officer will accompany the cadet to the infirmary and stand by until the physician makes an evaluation
and determination as to whether to admit the cadet should be admitted, transported to the hospital or may return
to his or her room.
c. If a cadet experiences a potentially life threatening medical condition, the observer will contact Emergency Medical Services immediately. Observers must remain with the injured/sick cadet, render appropriate first aid (subject
to skills/knowledge) until competent medical authority arrives and assumes control, and (as soon as situation
permits) contact security and complete a Cadet Accident Report Form, NUCC Form 85.
d. Classification/Triage. The contracted physician or senior medical staff member on duty will classify (triage) sick
students and complete the into one of the following categories:
1) Infirmary or hospital - cadet restricted to the infirmary or hospital
2) Comply with restrictions indicated on Medical Profile form NUCC Form 8.7
3) Return to duty - cadet cleared by physician to resume all training; Medical Profile form accounts for cadet
absence only for that time period attending sick call.
e. All cadets are responsible for seeking competent medical authority if and when they are sick. Being sick is not an
authorized absence from class or formation. A cadet will be considered APOD until personally excused by his/
her commander. Commanders will honor directives from competent medical authority excusing or limiting cadet
participation from training. If issued a medical profile, the cadet must carry his or her Medical Profile form as
evidence of excused absence.
f.
Cadets ordered to return to duty will report to class or duty within ten minutes following dismissal from Sick Call.
Cadets who have been patients in the infirmary will be allowed 30 minutes from the time of discharge to report
to class/duty in order to allow time to stop at room and obtain necessary materials/uniform.
g. The Infirmary will complete a Medical Profile form, NUCC Form 8.7 and provide the pink copy to the individual;
the white copy to Jackman Hall, Room 213, Housing/Cadet Records’ Office; and retain the yellow copy. Consultation with the physician will be made for cadets considered to be malingering. It is the responsibility of each cadet
to inform his/her 1SG/CO of his or her return to duty.
h. The Special Status Report, NUCC Form 8.8, is updated daily at 1600 hours and published weekly at Command and
Staff. The Sl Section Clerk retrieves Medical Profile form s from the infirmary daily at 1200 hours and prepares the
Special Status Report to include: unit, name, class, date reported, date expires, profile/limitations, uniform. Upon
update, the Sl Section Clerk will photocopy the SS Report Form and distribute it to each respective unit box.
8-8. Admin Forms, Frequency, and Distribution. The purpose of this section is to familiarize cadets with the common administrative/accountability system the NUCC employs to account for cadets and complete routine personnel
administrative actions. Select sample forms are enclosed. Cadets must be familiar with these forms and leaders must
enforce their use and distribution.
a. Application for Leave, NUCC Form 8.1. The Leave Form must be completed properly to protect the individual
departing campus on leave as well as to assist the chain of command in maintaining personnel accountability. (See
Appendix A).
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
113
b. Administrative Action Form, NUCC Form 8.2. This form is used to request administrative actions (e.g., room
changes, promotions, duty assignment, etc.). Changes may occur only after the request is approved through proper channels. Administrative actions are generated by the Company 1SG and routed through command channels.
(See Appendix B).
c. Unit Accountability Report, NUCC Form 8.3. This form is used to record unit strength and document absences. Daily reports originate at squad level and are forwarded and consolidated through respective command levels
[squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment]. (See Appendix C)
1) Squad/Platoon Reports shall be completed as of the “report” at each formation and will list all cadets absent
and include the reasons for absence. Platoon reports will be submitted to the Company 1SG no later than 15
minutes after the formation.
2) Company consolidated strength /absentee report. The 1SG will consolidate the company report and indicate
all absent cadets, the actual status, if known, or their suspected whereabouts. The 1SG will obtain the Commander’s signature. Company reports will then be submitted to Battalion HQ NLT one hour after the formation.
3) Battalion Consolidated Strength Report. The Battalion Executive Officer or his/her designated staff will consolidate the Battalion report, obtain the Commander’s signature, and submit the consolidated strength report
to the Regimental Sl NLT 1900 hours the same day as the report. The report will be delivered to the S1 box in
the Guard Room.
d. Cadet Accident Report, NUCC Form 8.5. This form is used to report any incident resulting in an injury to a
cadet requiring medical attention. Any responsible individual having knowledge of the incident should report the
accident to the Regimental Duty Officer. The RDO shall notify the CDO and log the incident report in the duty
log. (See Appendix D).
e. Duty Roster, NUCC Form 8.6. This form, if used properly, ensures fair and equitable duty assignment and
should reduce complaints. Duty Rosters are required to be posted on each unit bulletin board. Everyone eligible
for performing the duty must be listed on the roster. The roster lists all eligible cadets alphabetically and by rank.
Duty Rosters will be inspected by the Inspector General and all inspecting officers. (See Appendix E).
f.
Medical Profile F, NUCC Form 8.7. This form is completed by the infirmary and distributed as follows: the yellow copy remains with the infirmary; the white copy goes to the Commandant’s Office; and the pink copy goes to
the individual cadet. (See Appendix F).
g. Special Uniform Authorization Slip, NUCC Form 670-1.2 Refer to Chapter 5, Section 5-5.
h. Door Card, NUCC Form (unnumbered). This form is affixed to the student’s door in accordance with Chapter
11, Barracks and Room Organization, NUCC SOP. The cadet door card must be maintained, updated with any
class changes and accurately reflect the student’s location. Each individual cadet regardless of class, rank, and year
group shall comply. The door card procedure assists leaders in accounting for subordinates and is designed to aid/
protect the individual cadet. It is available on the NUCC Team Site on my.norwich.edu/nucc (See Appendix G)

DUTY ROSTER (NUCC FORM 8.12)
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
123
APPENDIX E
DUTY ROSTER INSTRUCTIONS (NUCC FORM 8.6)
The Duty Roster, NUCC Form 8.6 is modeled after the Department of the Army (DA) Form 6 and is used to ensure
equitable distribution of assigned duties (e.g., Regimental Duty Officer).
The Inspector General will inspect Duty Rosters frequently to ensure fairness and impartiality.
The Regimental S2 is responsible to assign a block of calendar time to each battalion. Provisional Battalion will serve as
a fill in on major weekends and to even the number of calendar days per battalion.
Each Battalion Commander is responsible to submit the duty roster to the Regimental S2 and to ensure that guard coverage is present when scheduled. It is not the Regimental S2’s job to find replacements for missing guard personnel. Each
level of command is responsible for the function of guard duty.
Regimental Duty Officer (RDO) - This roster includes all commissioned officers from 2LT to REG CDR.
Regimental Duty Sergeant (RDS) - This roster includes all noncommissioned officers rank SGT through CSM.
Regimental Duty Runner (RDR) - This roster includes all corporals and privates. Once first year cadets become recognized they may perform as RDR.
The following principles must be applied:
•
Any cadets eligible to pull (perform) a specific duty must be on the roster, to include cadet privates.
•
List cadets alphabetically and by rank. Highest to lowest. If roster includes all officers, first list Colonels followed
by LTC, MAI, CPT, etc. in order.
•
Weekdays and Weekend Duties are run separately but maintained on the same roster. This ensures equal distribution of weekday (M-F) and weekend (Sat-Sun) duties.
•
If a cadet (Cadet A) wishes to switch duty, he/she must find his or her own replacement (Cadet B). The assigned
cadet (Cadet A) is ultimately responsible for the duty. If Cadet B fails to report for duty, Cadet A is AWOL and
subject to discipline under Chapter 9, NU Rules and Regulations.
•
If a cadet is removed from the duty roster [examples: emergency leave, confined to infirmary, or withdrawal from
the university] the 1SG will notify all cadets and amend the roster moving each cadet up one day to cover the
absence(s).
•
Assign the first day’s duty to the first cadet listed on the roster, the second day’s duty to the second cadet, etc.
Assign the first weekend duty to the first cadet and the second weekend duty to the second cadet, etc. Designate
the duty with a “D”. Number the days following the “D”. The cadet with the highest number is assigned the next
duty.
•
The system attempts to limit each cadet to one and only one duty roster. There are a number of circumstances
that might cause a cadet to serve on more than one duty roster. In such cases it is possible that a cadet might be
credited with a “D” for performing another duty.
•
If a cadet is sick and cannot pull duty, the 1SG assigns an “A”, meaning authorized absence. When assigned an
“A” cadet number remains constant which translates to he/she will pull the first duty upon his/her return to duty
status. Other authorized absences include: DS, emergency leave, confined to quarters, military leave, or regular
leave scheduled before posting the duty roster.
•
Once a cadet pulls a duty, he/she is assigned the number “1” the day following the duty. Each day the cadet does
not pull duty, his/her number increases sequentially until the cadet amasses the highest number earns the next
duty.

9-4. Training Strategy. NUCC training, and the training schedules and planning calendars that support cadet training, will be designed with the primary objective of meeting the mission of the NUCC. Training officers and NCOs will
identify collective, leader, and individual supporting tasks that are linked directly to the accomplishment of one or more
of the five tasks from the Core METL and build training events and lessons plans to complete the tasks. Lesson-based
training will be conducted using the standard lesson plan format (appendix H) and training accomplishment will be
recorded and reported by unit commanders during periodic battalion training meetings and to the RC at a semester
training brief. Training events and operations will be planned, approved, briefed and executed using standard format
Operations Orders (OPORDs) (appendix G).
a. Command Group Training. A four or five day arrival and orientation period for the most senior commanders,
special staff officers, and NCOs in the NUCC. Desired outcome is to have the NUCC Command Group ready
to receive and train the majority of the cadet leaders during subsequent Cadet Leader Week training.
b. Cadet Leader Week I Training. One week of training, planning, and major event rehearsals for the majority
of the regimental staff, cadet officers, and cadet NCOs in the NUCC. Desired outcome is to prepare the regiment for Rook arrival day, the successful execution of Rook Orientation Week, and the return of upperclassmen
cadets. Training topics include administering the discipline and honor systems, awareness and prevention of
hazing, training strategies and best practices, and rehearsals of major events to be conducted on Rook arrival day,
during Rook Orientation Week, and major events that occur early in the academic year.
c. Cadet Leader Week II Training. One week of specialized training for the upperclassmen cadet leaders who are
responsible for training the sophomore class. Desired outcome is for the cadet leaders assigned to the line battalions and Provisional Battalion to be prepared to execute the sophomore training program as outlined below in
paragraph (e).
d. Rook Training. The mission of the Rook training units is to “create a positive military learning environment
to develop the whole cadet mentally, morally, academically, and physically; and to instill in each cadet guiding
values, attributes and competencies essential for academic success and leadership development.” This mission is
accomplished sequentially in stages, as delineated by the following training periods and programs:
1) Rook Orientation Week (ROW). A student admitted to Norwich University as a member of the NUCC will
report for Rook Arrival Day and participate in an eight day period of lifestyle-specific orientation. ROW
is designed to prepare the Rook class for the transition to college life and acquaint them with the Norwich
campus, apprise them of all academic and student services available to them, and introduce them to campus
life as a prospective cadet. Additional training goals include: the issue of uniforms and equipment; instruction in basic military drill and ceremony; instruction in customs, courtesies and traditions of the NUCC and
Norwich University; assessing basic physical fitness; military related adventure training; academic counseling, testing and class registration; and instruction in the daily routine and responsibilities associated with
cadet life. ROW ends the day before the start of the academic year.
2) Rook Basic Training (RBT). The first 12 weeks of the fall semester are designated as RBT and consist of a set of
individual and (small unit) collective tasks, as specified in reference (e). These tasks are designed to prepare
Rooks to integrate successfully into the NUCC. The goal of RBT is for at least 80 percent of the Rook class
to demonstrate proficiency in each training task specified in reference (e). In addition, RBT affords cadet
leaders the opportunity to re-train Rooks on ROW training tasks not yet mastered, and create a positive
training environment that supports the accomplishment of the Core METL tasks. The end of RBT is marked
by a Rook class culminating event and the awarding of the Rook Basic Training ribbon.
3) Corporal Academic Mentorship (CAM) Program (mentee). During the fall semester, each Rook will be assigned
a sophomore year upperclassman cadet who has been selected to academically mentor the Rook during prescribed times over the fall semester. The Director of the Academic Achievement Center is responsible for
oversight of the CAM program and the selection and assignment of sophomore CAMs.
4) Basic Leadership Training (BLT). The 12-week period from the end of RBT through Rook Recognition is clasNUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
135
sified as BLT. During BLT, the Rook training increasingly focuses on team and small-unit leadership skills,
and developing the leadership competency of each individual Rook, as specified in reference (e). The goal
of BLT is to prepare the Rook class to join the NUCC as recognized first year cadets.
5) Recognition. Per reference (d), recognition “marks the change from follower to potential leader” when
Rooks are promoted in rank from Recruit to Private and enjoy the rights and privileges of a first year cadet.
6) Post-recognition First Year Training. The period from recognition to the end of the first year will be used to
prepare first year cadets for competitive promotion to the rank of Corporal and introduce them to the Sophomore Training, CAM (mentor), and Leadership Development Programs.
e. Second Year Training Program. The mission of the Second Year Training Program is to develop in all second
year cadets the basic competencies and confidence to lead successfully as a cadet NCO in the NUCC through
the continuation of training in leadership theory and the beginning of leadership application. The Second Year
Cadet Training Program includes the following elements:
1) The Cadet Leader Training Program (CLTP). Consist of approximately 20 hours of staff led and cadet leader
led practical instruction with a culminating skills test. The CLTP curriculum includes a blend of classroom
instruction and experiential learning tasks that span the competencies required of a cadet NCO. Successful
completion of CLTP will better prepare second year cadets to assume NCO roles and is reflected on their
Cadet Performance Evaluation and points towards cadet promotion.
2) Field Training Exercise (FTX). A one day, experiential training event, typically conducted in the fall, which
allows second year cadets to practice leadership skills learned in the classroom and build camaraderie and
teamwork among classmates and peers.
3) CAM Program (mentor). Second year cadets with high academic achievement can volunteer to serve as
academic mentors to Rooks during the fall semester, with regularly scheduled meetings and a curriculum
prescribed by the Director of the Academic Achievement Center. Second year cadets selected to serve as
CAMs are eligible to wear the rank of Corporal.
9-5. Training Resources.
a. Tuesday Afternoon Training (TAT). The TAT period is primarily used to prepare key cadet leaders or the entire regiment for Friday afternoon ceremonial events. Alternatively, the period will be used to train to cadet core
competencies, unit goals, and individual cadet goals. When the training schedule permits, this period is used to
provide battalion commanders and their staff adequate time to plan and assess training in their units.
b. Friday Afternoon Training (FAT). FAT periods primarily support scheduled Corps of Cadets reviews and
formal ceremonies. Alternatively, the period will be used to accomplish training tasks that support the overall
training strategy.
c. Saturday Morning Training (SMT). Units assigned the mission of training the Rook class will use the period
0700-0900 on Saturday mornings to accomplish room and uniform inspections, or other Rook training tasks
as assigned on the weekly training schedule. Units assigned the mission of training upperclassmen cadets can
request to use Saturday mornings to conduct sophomore training or physical fitness events and tests.
d. Academic Day. The academic day is generally accepted as the period 0800-1600 on most weekdays, during
which scheduled class meetings take place. A small number of class and lab sections meet outside of the academic day, and cadets enrolled in these sections will attend their scheduled class or lab meetings. The academic day is
a resource wholly dedicated toward achieving the mission essential task of improving the academic performance
of every cadet, with the goal of attaining a 3.0 GPA or better each semester. No other cadet training – Rook or
upperclassmen – will be scheduled or accomplished during the academic day. For planning purposes, TAT and
ROTC Leadership Lab are not considered part of the Tuesday academic day.
e. Extra-curricular Period. The co-curricular period each weekday begins at the end of the academic day (or after
ROTC Lead Lab on Tuesday) and ends at 3rd mess, typically the period 1600-1800. This period is intended to maximize student participation in varsity athletics, intramural and club sport programs, and student clubs and service
organizations. Rooks and cadets are highly encouraged to participate in a co-curricular activity during these periods.
136
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
f.
Sergeants Time Training (STT). As described in Reference (a), STT “recognizes the NCO’s primary role in
conducting individual, crew, and small team training.” Furthermore, STT “develops junior leaders and builds
cohesive teams. NCOs select specific individual supporting tasks that support the accomplishment of the Core
METL based upon their training assessment and platoon leader guidance. Once these tasks are approved, they
plan, prepare, rehearse, and execute the training.” For the NUCC, STT is the 50-minute period following 3rd
mess and before study hall. STT topics are delineated, by week, on the annual Rook Training Program of Instruction and the Sophomore Training task list.
g. Study Hall. The weekly training calendar will identify the period after 3rd mess on weekdays, and various time
blocks throughout the day on weekends, as Study Hall. This time is to be used by all cadets to create an environment conducive to high academic achievement, and to improve their own academic performance. Cadets of all
classes shall be afforded the opportunity to study in a location and manner that is consistent with their study habits. Corps of Cadets training is strictly prohibited during Study Hall, and cadet leaders will not set restrictions
on study materials or computer usage during this period, as long as their use is dedicated to academic studies or
research. Cadets will maintain a ‘quiet hours’ environment in the barracks during study hall.
h. ROTC Leadership Laboratory (Lead Lab, or MIL Lab). Contracted and pursuing cadets who are authorized
to participate in ROTC Leadership Laboratory will be enrolled in a Lead Lab course section during the Tuesday
afternoon period 1400-1550. The training goals and curriculum content of the ROTC Leadership Laboratory
is completely at the discretion of the Professors of Military, Naval, and Aerospace Science.

9-6. Training Assessment and Evaluation. From reference (a), “The unit commander is responsible for assessing the
readiness of the unit to execute its [mission]. A critical component of this assessment is evaluation of training. The evaluation process is continuous, and must be planned for all training and considered as a way of life in the unit. Training
evaluation is integral to standards-based training and is conducted by leaders at every level.”
a. Collective (unit-level) training will be evaluated by the unit commander based upon personal observations of
training and those of subordinate leaders, feedback from AARs, and performance measurements compared
against published training goals and standards. Unit commanders will assess and report on the status of their
unit during periodic battalion training meetings and by battalion commanders at the semi-annual semester
training brief to the RC.
b. Leader training will be evaluated by the cadet officer or NCO conducting the training and will be reported to the
training officer of the unit(s) to which the leader(s) are assigned.
c. Individual training will be evaluated by the cadet officer or NCO conducting the training and will be reported to
the officer or NCO who approved the training.
d. To the maximum extent possible, training standards and goals will be measurable. Training performance will be
measured and evaluated against the published standard. For the few training tasks without a measurable standard, evaluations will be characterized as a “go” or a “no go.”
e. Commanders will assess their units as trained (T), partially trained (P), or untrained (U) for each of the Core
METL tasks, and for any other directed training tasks from higher authority.
f.
Commanders will use training evaluations to determine whether their unit achieved the standard, and upon the
effectiveness of their training plans and execution.
9-7. Training Management Cycle. As defined in reference (a), the three crucial elements of the training management cycle are plan, execute, and assess. Cadet leaders will utilize the sequential steps of the management cycle to the
greatest extent practicable when designing, delivering and reporting on cadet training. From reference (a), “Company
Commanders personally manage their company’s training. Commanders at battalion level and higher manage training
through their operations officer, who develops the unit’s training program. However, to ensure effective unit training,
those commanders remain involved in the training process.” Ultimately, a commander is responsible for the training,
performance, and readiness of his or her assigned cadets and unit.
a. Planning for Training. From reference (a), “planning extends the mission-focus process that links the [Core]
METL with the subsequent preparation, execution, and assessment of training.” In the NUCC, there are several
planning tools available to commanders as they manage their unit’s training:
1) Student Affairs Master Planning Calendar. A calendar of the upcoming academic year that is developed and
maintained by the Director of Operations and Training and published on the NUCC Team Site. Developed
in conjunction with the Chief Administrative Officer’s NU Master Calendar.
2) Short- and long-range training plans. Planning that extends one week to one semester ahead of current week,
and includes scheduling details for upcoming major training events and identifies resources and support required to conduct training events. Short range plans refine guidance to trainers, finalize training resources,
and allow preparation of Operations Orders or daily training schedule.
3) Daily training schedule. Prepared weekly by the Regimental S3 and the Director of Operations and Training,
and published on the NUCC Team Site the Friday before the scheduled week, the daily training schedule is
the primary planning tool for daily cadet operations and training. Company First Sergeants are responsible
for posting the daily training schedule on their company area boards, and cadet leaders use the schedule to
conduct pass down immediately prior to taps during the academic week.
4) Training briefings. Used by company, battalion, and regimental staffs to apprise commanders of current
operations and training, near- and long-range training plans, and to conduct after action reviews of accomplished training.
138
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
b. Training execution. Executing the training plan is conducted in three sequential phases as follows:
1) Prepare for training. From reference (a), “After mission-essential tasks are selected, commanders identify
training objectives for each task. A training objective is a statement that describes the intended outcome of
a training activity in the unit. It consists of the task, conditions, and standard:
• Task. A clearly defined and measureable activity accomplished by individuals and organizations.
• Conditions. Those variables of an operational environment or situation in which a unit, system,
or individual is expected to operate and may affect performance.
• Standard. A quantitative or qualitative measure and criterion for specifying the levels of performance
of a task. A measure provides the basis for describing varying levels of task performance.”
This phase is when the trainer must prepare himself or herself to conduct the training (train the trainer), ensure all training resources and supporting personnel are readied, and conduct a rehearsal to build familiarity
with, and confidence in, the training plan.
2) Conduct training. Train to standard, under the conditions of the expected operational environment, while
managing risk to an acceptable level.
3) Recover from training. Conduct after action reviews (AARs) to determine whether the training produced the
intended effect and improved the task proficiency and readiness of the individual or unit. Feed the results of
the AAR into the training assessment phase.
c. Training assessment. As described in paragraph 9-5, training assessment makes it possible for commanders
to know which collective, leader or individual mission-essential tasks are trained to standard (T), and where
individual cadet or unit performance needs improvement (partially trained (P) or untrained (U)).
9-8. NUCC Physical Fitness Program. Based upon the physical fitness training methods and standards of reference (b),
the NUCC physical fitness program is designed to have the intended effect of promoting an ethos of physical fitness and
wellness in all cadets. Once each academic year, all cadets will take a three-event physical performance test modeled on
the Army physical fitness test (PFT). Passing the PFT is a prerequisite to receiving and wearing the cadet ring, graduating
in the cadet uniform and receiving the MCV diploma, as specified in reference (c). In addition, a cadet’s PFT score is used
to develop his or her order of merit for competitive promotion. Unit commanders are responsible for scheduling, administering, recording the results of a unit PFT, and reporting on the physical readiness of the cadets assigned to their units.
a. ROTC Physical Training (PT). Cadets on a commissioning track or actively pursuing a commission will conduct morning PT with their affiliated ROTC unit. The ROTC unit will specify the frequency and duration of the
PT periods, to include PT for specialty units (e.g. Ranger Challenge Team, Marine Corps OCS Prep, etc.) and
remedial PT programs, as necessary.
b. Remedial PT Program. In keeping with the NUCC model of officer development, Corps PT will be predicated
upon an individual cadet achieving and maintaining a standard of excellence, with annual testing to determine
his or her level of physical fitness. Cadets who fail to achieve a minimum standard of excellence (defined as 180
points on the NU PFT) will participate in a mandatory physical remedial training program until he or she can
achieve a passing NU PFT score (at or above 180 points). NU PFT test dates and the remedial training program
schedule will be published and delineated on the Student Affairs Master Planning Calendar and the daily training schedule. In season, athletes are excused from morning and remedial PT, but are still required to conduct
and pass a NU PFT when scheduled.
9-9. Safety and Composite Risk Management (CRM). From reference (a), “CRM is a decision-making tool to assist
the commander, leader, or individual in identifying, assessing, and controlling risks in order to make informed decisions
that balance risk costs (losses) against mission benefits (potential gains).” It is the duty of all cadet leaders to accept no
unnecessary risk when engaged in planning, executing, and assessing cadet training. Specific guidance on safety and
risk management for the NUCC can be found in Chapter 7.
9-10. Unauthorized Training. Per reference (c), unauthorized training is “any training or activity, organized or impromptu, conducted by a student or students, that has not been approved by the Director of Operations and Training
or the Director of Residence Life.” Reference (d) contains ten examples of unauthorized training. Cadet leaders will
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
139
generally remain in good standing so long as training remains linked to the Core METL tasks, is clearly beneficial to the
unit and the individual being trained, and does not have the intended or expected effect of being humiliating, intimidating, or demeaning. A training activity or event that appears on the NUCC Daily Training Schedule or Student Affairs
Planning Calendar can be considered to be approved by the Director of Operations and Training. Conversely, a training
activity or event not on the Daily Training Schedule or Student Affairs Planning Calendar has not been approved.

10-3. Using Written Communication.
Cadets may be required to submit information in writing to certain members of the chain of command. These items
should be routed through the appropriate members of the chain of command, supplying copies to each person if possible. All forms of written communication should obey formats/templates IAW examples found in the NUCC SOP. (See
Appendix A)
10-4. Chain of Command and Communication.
a. Definition.
1) The chain of command is the most fundamental and important organizational technique used in the military. It is the succession of commanders, superior to subordinate, through which command is exercised. It
extends from the President of the University down through the VPEMSA to the Commandant through various grades of rank to enlisted personnel leading the smallest elements and to their subordinates. A simple
and direct command channel facilitates the transmission of orders from the highest to the lowest levels in the
least amount and with the least chance of confusion. (See Figure 10-1 below.)
2) The command channel extends upward in the same manner for matters requiring official communication
from subordinate to superior. Every individual in the chain of command is delegated sufficient authority to
accomplish assigned tasks and responsibilities.
3) Norwich and the Corps of Cadets have a formal chain of command similar to that of the United States Army.
(See Figure 10-1 to the right.)

Figure 10-1. NU & NUCC Chain of Command
b. Communication within the Chain of Command
1) Orders and information are passed through command channels down to the lowest element in the command
structure. Information passed up from a lower level in the chain of command must be passed to the next
highest element.
2) Information or communications should start at the lowest level possible. Effort should be made to resolve
issues at the lowest level. If a cadet supervisor or leader cannot help a cadet, then the leader should refer the
cadet to the department that can resolve the issue or to the next higher level in the chain of command.
3) Cadets with problems of a personal nature or having issues with a cadet in their chain of command have the
right to speak to someone higher in the chain of command and well as someone outside their chain of command. The cadet should inform his/her direct supervisor as a form of courtesy if he/she feels comfortable in
doing so.
4) The same level of respect and civility is expected in all email communications, as you would use in person.
c. Proper use of the Chain of Command. A cadet is jumping the chain of command when the cadet does not
communicate with his/her direct superior/subordinate when passing information. Any information that a cadet
wishes to pass to any level of the chain of command must go through their direct chain of command, unless that
cadet does not feel comfortable or safe referring to their direct chain of command.
10-5. Open Door Policy.
a. Commanders will establish an open door policy within their commands. Cadets are responsible to ensure that
the commander is made aware of problems that effect discipline, morale, and mission effectiveness; and an
open door policy allows members of the command to present facts, concerns, and problems of a personal or
professional nature or other issues that the Cadet has been unable to resolve. The timing, conduct, and specific
procedures of the open door policy are determined by the commander. He or she is responsible for ensuring that
Cadets are aware of the command’s open door policy. (AR 600-20.)
b. A cadet who feels that the chain of command is not responding, has serious issues, or feels embarrassed or
threatened in communicating with members of his/her direct chain of command, may coordinate to speak to the
chain of command (see figure 10-1) or any university official such as; the Commandant, Assistant Commandant,
Senior Enlisted Advisor and Chaplin. Cadet leaders may issue policies addressing specific times and appointment procedures to conduct open door sessions with their subordinates. As a courtesy, cadets are encouraged to
inform their chain of command when speaking to personnel outside their units.
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
171
10-6. Public Communication and Solicitation.
Cadets who wish to post information in campus public locations must coordinate with, and receive permission from,
the Director of Student Activities. Soliciting business, engaging in any sales or business venture, or distributing sales or
advertising matter on University grounds or within any University building is strictly prohibited unless written permission has been obtained from the Office of the Commandant with concurrence of the Chief Administrative Officer. This
policy applies to cadets and any other personnel, including non-campus businesses and salespersons.
10-7. RETAIN
RETAIN is a formal system designed for early identification of students in need of assistance or at risk of retaining at the
institution. The development of the system focuses on the following goals:
• Improve overall retention rates with a focus on freshmen and sophomores
• Improve overall persistence and graduation
• Enhanced automation for sending communications to students
• Ability to engage the university community in identification and intervention of at risk students
• Easy system for reporting and segmenting data by various cohort groups based on robust data input
from the Banner system
• Ability to manage key student relationships, such as student to advisor, student to faculty, and student to their courses
• Conduct exit interviews through tele-counseling and survey efforts
The system was established in fall 2009 and has been an effective means of communication for the university community. Within the Corps structure, RETAIN is used by the cadet leadership as a way to refer students within their
chain of command who are in need of assistance. The system is designed as a communication driver between the cadet
leadership and the Commandant’s Office. The cadet leadership are trained each fall in the RETAIN system. The formal
training consists of:
• System and protocols
• Report structure
• Definitions of a student at risk
• How to be a good mentor in understanding students in need
A protocol has been established within each company for the referral, input, and follow up of students. The university
has created two student referral teams, one for rooks and one for upperclassmen within the Corps. The teams meet to
discuss the list of students who have been referred with the goal of creating a list of next steps or interventions to assist
the student. The cadet leadership is an integral part of the process in which the interventions and follow up occur.

CHAPTER 11
BARRACKS, ROOM ORGANIZATION, FURNITURE & MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
11. 1. General. Commanders are responsible for the health, morale, and welfare of their cadets. Barracks
living is an everyday part of a cadet’s life. Commanders’ areas of responsibility are defined as:
a. Common areas. Hallways, trunk rooms, stairwells, laundry rooms, janitor closets, entryways, hallway trashcans, and latrines.
b. Living quarters. All barrack rooms assigned to any member of that particular command.
c. Outside areas. The grounds surrounding the barracks out to 10 meters.
PART 1: FURNITURE ARRANGEMENT
11-2. General. The following identifies the furniture arrangement and management of rooms, barracks areas, and the
Upper Parade Grounds.
a. Doors will be locked when occupants are not in room for security of personal items, issued M-14 weapons, and
issued sabers. Each cadet will maintain his or her room key upon his or her person when not in his or her room.
Rooks and cadets are subject to a $10.00 fine for rooms left unsecured.
b. No furniture or any part of furniture will be removed from the room without permission from the Company
Commander. The Company Commander will contact the Housing Officer and submit a Service Request. Only
Facilities Operations (FAC OPS) personnel are authorized to remove furniture.
c. Under no circumstances will modifications be made to beds, wardrobes, bookcases, weapons rack, or other
university issued furniture. The term modifications includes but is not limited to any tacking, nailing, screwing,
painting, adding stickers, defacing or disassembly. Bunk beds are to remain stacked and may not be separated
into single beds. Bookshelves are to remain attached to walls. Weapons racks will not be modified to secure
weapons.
d. One bed and mattress per room occupant is allowed. Bed boards and foam pad(s) intended to make the mattress
more comfortable are authorized as long as racks remain within the parameters of the NUCC SOP.
e. Wardrobes and racks will not be rearranged in the barracks room due to fire safety. The backs of wardrobes and
side of beds must remain flush against the walls (unless approved by Battalion’s Assistant Commandant based on
room size, layout, and number of occupants).
f.
Desks must remain under bookcases and backs flush against wall due to fire safety.
PART 2: DOOR MATERIAL AND BARRACK SIGNS
The following identifies all items authorized for posting in the barracks and their specified location.
11-3. Barracks Bulletin Board Upon Entrance. (Figure 11-1). Each building has one bulletin board at the front entrance, except Alumni and Dodge Halls, which have two. These boards will be used to post items of interest such as club
meetings, ROTC formations, student activities, sports schedules, and miscellaneous announcements. This is the only
authorized area to post such announcements. Nothing will be attached to the entry/exit doors of barracks. 1SGs have the
responsibility to ensure that bulletin boards remain neat, uncluttered and free from unauthorized material.
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
175
11-4. Bulletin Boards. (Figure 11-1). The company bulletin board is one of the main methods of communicating with
the members of the company. The company bulletin board must follow the Regimental standard for bulletin boards,
Figure 11-1. The bulletin board is an item of inspection. When a company has more than one bulletin board, each will
be maintained. If one is on a floor shared with another company, the companies will arrange for the bulletin board to be
assigned to the company with the largest population on that floor. CSMs and 1SGs should regularly check the board to
ensure it has current and updated material. Each bulletin board will be divided into 14 sections, using masking tape to
mark the sections as depicted in Figure 11-1. Materials will be affixed using thumb tacks or staples only. These materials
should reflect the most current updates. Anyone who trifles with, defaces, vandalizes, or removes items from bulletin
boards will be subject to disciplinary action. This is a Class 1 offense.
11-5. Latrine Doors. Latrine doors not affixed with permanent “Male (or Female) Latrine” signs, will be designated
as such with preprinted signs, sealed in clear plastic, and attached with drafting tape on all sides with 45-degree angles
cut at the corners. The male/female make-up of a floor will dictate which latrine is for each gender. Absolutely no other
items may be posted on latrine doors. The Housing Officer will designate latrines allocations per gender. “Cadre Only”
latrines or specific times designated as “Cadre Only” are left to the discretion of the AC and the Adjutant.
11-6. Floor Identification Signs. Each Rook floor will have two floor entrance designation signs; one at each end of
the hall above and/or beside the fire doors. The signs will be placed into plastic document protectors and attached with
drafting tape on all sides with 45-degree angles cut at the corners.
The signs on the Rook Floors will correspond with the following example:
• Company 12-1
• Rook Floor
• Off Limits to Unauthorized Personnel
11-7. Barracks Outside Doors, Walls, And Stairwells. Nothing may be posted on entrance doors themselves, entrance walls, or in the stairwells. This is a requirement for federal building fire codes.
11-8. Individual Doors / Door Card (Fig. 11-2).
The standard door card (Fig. 11-2), will be printed and displayed by all classes. All information on each cadet’s door card
will be correct and updated whenever there is a change. The standard door card template can be found in this SOP at
figure 11-2. The standard door card will consist of three blocks as shown in Figure 11-2.

bookshelves, and wardrobe). All items on furniture will be neatly arranged. Refrigerators must be clean, free
from odor, and all contents must be sanitary. Unserviceable or broken items will be reported to the Company
Commander who will inform the Housing Office. The Housing Office will submit a work order to FAC OPS. The
work order will be available for inspection/review if the item is not immediately repaired or replaced.
h. Beds. (See Figure (11-20) For health reasons, beds will be made in a head- to-foot manner (i.e. head of bottom bunk
will be under foot of top bunk). Beds will be maintained in a military standard and all cadets will use the gold Norwich dust cover. Plain, white, non-fitted, bed sheets and pillowcase are the only linen authorized (i.e. colored sheets
are not authorized). The NU issued maroon blanket will be the only authorized blanket used as the bed covering.
The NU rack will be made with dust cover and be prepared for inspection from 0700-1700 daily and TAI (No Dust
Cover). Cadets that do not have linen service are required to have two sets of linen. Comforters, bedspreads, sleeping
bags or anything other than the issued Norwich blankets is not authorized for inspections. These items may be used
to sleep with but will be neatly put out of sight daily. Beds will be made in the following order:
1) Sheets. The bottom sheet will be tucked in place using 45-degree angles at the corners. The top sheet will be
placed so that the top edge is along the top of the mattress and the bottom of the sheet will be tucked under

Norwich Maroon Blanket. The maroon blanket will be displayed so that the NUCC is centered left-to-right and
can be read when standing at the foot of the rack. The bottom of the blanket will be tucked in using 45-degree
angles at the corners and sides tucked. During the duty day, non-issued bedspreads/ additional bed covers
must be stored out of sight.
Pillow. One pillow will be placed at the head of the bed along the top edge and centered left-to-right. The white
pillowcase opening will be towards the wall. Only one pillow is authorized. Extra pillows shall be stored out
of sight during the duty day.
Dust Cover. The Norwich issue gold dust cover is the only authorized dust cover. All cadets, regardless of class
year or rank, are required to emplace the dust cover daily. The dust cover over the pillow was used during the
cavalry days to keep dust arid debris away from inside the rack; it is a long-standing tradition at Norwich. The
dust cover will be folded in half (along length) and laid covering the pillow. The folded edge will be towards
the center of the bed so that it forms a straight line. Excess blanket will be tucked and corners folded at 45-degree angles. Comforters may not be used as dust covers. The dustcover will be removed and the pillow will be
displayed for Monday’s open-air rack, TAI, FAI, SMI, or any other formal room inspection.
Open Air Rack. On laundry day and extended vacations, beds will be stripped to allow for airing and clean
linen exchange. All cadets are required to strip their beds. Cadets who do not subscribe to linen service are
required to wash their sheets and pillowcase once a week for personal hygiene reasons. The blankets and
pillowcases will be “E-folded” and stacked at the foot of the bed. The maroon blanket will be stacked first
followed by the dust cover, sheets, pillowcase and then pillow.
Privacy Curtains. Sheets and blankets hung for the purpose of creating privacy shall be stored out of sight
during the duty day.
i.
Unoccupied Extra Beds. Unoccupied beds need to be stripped and left unmade.
j.
Desk and Book Cases. (See Figure 11-17) Desk and bookcases will be neat and orderly. For safety reasons
desks will be aligned with and below the bookshelf with backs flush against the wall.
k. Footgear. (Figure 11-18) Boots and shoes will be clean, polished, laced, tied (laces tucked as worn), and arranged at the foot of the bed with toes pointing out, in the following order:
1) Combat Boots
2) Military Shoes
3) Hiking Boots
4) Civilian Shoes and Boots (if authorized)
5) Athletic Shoes
6) Shower Shoes
Extra footgear will be placed under the rack behind the required shoe alignment. If no floor space under rack
then shoes will be placed on top of wardrobe or in trunk/suitcase.
l.
Trash Cans. Trash cans will be NU issued only, presentable, and serviceable. Cadets will be responsible to replace any trash can that is unserviceable. All rooms must have a trashcan. Plastic liners may be used. Trash cans
will be empty and cleaned for all announced room inspections.
m. Curtains. University issued curtains are the only curtains authorized to hang in the rooms. They are to be serviceable and hung properly. Unserviceable curtains (i.e. torn/ripped) or curtain rods need to be replaced through
FAC OPS. Note: Mini blinds are not authorized.
n. Food items. Although small amounts of food items are authorized in the barracks and rooms, common sense
and the need to maintain sanitary conditions are required. Perishable foods, not in refrigerators, are not authorized and will be disposed of immediately. Large amounts of non-perishable foods (i.e. soup, noodles, crackers,
etc.) detract from the professional appearance of the room and should not be left out in open view. Food should
be kept out of sight. Open items need to be stored in sealed containers or bags to prevent the infestation of vermin or insects.
178
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
11-10. Appliances. The only appliances permitted in cadet rooms are those listed in Chapter 10, Class Privileges Authorized by Years Served in the Corps, NU Student Rules and Regulations. All appliances used must be UL approved.
Refrigerators and microwaves must be kept clean and free from spoiled food and odor. Excess cords will be wrapped
neatly and not present a cluttered appearance. Multi-plug extension cords with surge protectors are the only plug adapters authorized for use in the barracks.
11-11. Wall Hangings. All authorized wall hangings must be hung from the tack boards only. No items are to be hung
in front, over, or on the window, windowsill or windowpanes. You cannot line room walls with hanging material. This
is a fire hazard.
11-12. Miscellaneous.
a. NU Awards, certificates and plaques. Honors received may be neatly displayed on bookshelf or on walls’ tack
boards.
b. Collections or displays of any type (i.e., shrines, hats, bottles, pins, stuffed animals, tobacco cans, etc.) are not to
be openly displayed.
c. Bikes may not be stored in barracks or trunk rooms. Limited storage is available in South and Dalrymple Halls.
Contact the Resident Hall Coordinator in the Student Life Office.
d. Cadet Commanders will ensure that all personal and military equipment is neatly arranged and stored in the
rooms, not in the hallways, common areas, or otherwise in a non-secured manner.
e. All trunks, suitcases, boxes and other luggage will be tagged and stored in unit trunk rooms. Cadets are to refer
to NURR for storage policy. Authorized foot locker, trunk, or container will be placed on top of the wall locker
or on the floor. Empty boxes and packing materials are not allowed in trunk rooms. A cadet can have no greater
than a combination of three storage items (foot locker, three dawer unit/plastic bin, duffle bag or suitcase) in
their room.
f.
A basic set of skis and sports equipment (excluding bikes) may be stored in rooms or secured in trunk rooms. If
stored in room the equipment will be neatly stored or stacked out of movement areas and present a non-obtrusive appearance to the room. Alternate storage areas must be found for excess equipment.
g. All appliances and lights will be turned off when not in use or when cadets are out of the room.
h. All wall surfaces, doors, and other inside surfaces will be wiped clean of smudges and debris. Special attention
will be given to the inside wall/light switch area at the doorway of each room.
PART 4: BARRACKS AND UPPER PARADE GROUND (UP) MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
11-13. Common Areas. Company Commanders are responsible for the overall appearance of their company areas and
the cleanliness of interior space. Cadets are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of common areas (hallways,
trunk rooms, laundry rooms, janitor closets, stairwells, entryways, and latrines). Common courtesy to fellow cadets and
visitors is expected. Cadet leaders will ensure that excessive trash or mess is policed up. FAC OP’S cleaning personnel are
expected to maintain cleanliness under conditions of normal wear and tear; they are not expected to clean up intentional
messes or disorder caused by unruly behavior or inconsiderate negligence. The chain of command will direct cadets to
police any area when necessary. Clothing, detergents, or other personal property left in the laundry rooms or latrines
for more than 12 hours is subject to confiscation and may be discarded. Note: Items left in common areas are subject to
confiscation and may be discarded.
11-14. Personal Items. Personal belongings such as sneakers, boots, clothes, athletic gear, doormats, ironing boards,
toiletry items, etc., are not to be left in hallways, dayrooms, latrines, or other common areas. Items are subject to confiscation and may be discarded.
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
179
11-15. Trunk Rooms. Cadet Commanders and Senior Noncommissioned Officers will inspect trunk rooms to ensure
compliance with NUCC Regulations. All items must be tagged with cadet’s name, unit, and home address and phone
number. Cadets with an excessive amount of items to store should mail them home or find alternate areas to secure
them. Bikes are not allowed to be stored in trunk rooms. See NUSRR Chapter 4. Trunk rooms are considered non-secured areas. Norwich University will not be held responsible for items stored in the trunk rooms that may become lost,
stolen, or damaged.
11-16. Upper Parade Ground (UP). The UP has long been a ceremonial area. The UP is defined as any grass, road or
walk way in front, or adjacent to the barracks, dorms, Dewey Hall, Adams Bell Tower, Chaplin Hall and Jackman Hall.
Cadets are prohibited any time during the academic year from walking on the grass, sitting or sun tanning, playing
sports, games, hackey sack, ball tossing, or Frisbee tossing, etc. Exceptions to this are training, parades, police call or
formal corps functions. In addition, no inline skating, skate boarding, bicycles, or music is authorized. Cadets are prohibited from removing furniture from the barracks and sitting outside the front or side doors of the barracks. Unless
executing marching tours, cadets are prohibited from walking on the tour path. Cadets will be responsible for their
guest(s). Smoking or the use of tobacco products is prohibited on the UP, between buildings, or in the Jackman Hall
Parking area. Smoking is allowed behind the buildings of the UP.
11-17. Police Call. (Figure 11-3) Military installations are known for a high state of cleanliness reflecting the discipline
and pride of the personnel assigned. The same holds true for the Military College of Vermont campus. Each unit in the
Corps will be assigned a specific area to be policed. This area will extend out to 10 meters around a command’s barracks,
front, sides, and rear. Commanders and 1SGs will be responsible to ensure assigned areas are free from trash, bottles,
cans, cigarette butts, etc. Cadets should not wait for a formal police call but rather take the initiative and police any trash
when seen.
11-18. Fire Alarm (Emergency Conditions) Evacuation. In the event a fire alarm sounds, all personnel inside the
barracks will immediately fall out of the barracks and form up on the UP in platoon formations for accountability. Complete uniform is not required; however, cadets should quickly put on a pair of shoes, shorts/slacks, shirt and appropriate
outer garment. When departing, cadets will turn off all room lights, leave doors closed and unlocked. Weapons will
remain in the rooms. The cadet leadership will assist security with identifying the source of the fire or alarm. Cadets will
not reenter the barracks until the alarm has stopped and Security has authorized entrance.
11-19. Resource Conservation. The conservation of energy and water is a cost savings to everyone in the Norwich
community. All personnel will turn off lights, appliances and water faucets not in use in the latrines, janitor’s closets,
laundry rooms, trunk rooms, and classrooms. Hallways must remain illuminated for the purpose of fire safety.
PART 5: INSPECTIONS
11-20. General. Inspections are necessary to ensure good order and discipline, and to serve as a tool for commanders
to monitor the general health and welfare of their personnel. Standards will be met or exceeded; anything less is unacceptable. All leaders must be disciplined to inspect and hold all cadets to high standards. Common areas are subject to
inspections.
11-21. Daily Room Inspections.
a. Rooms will be ready for inspection daily from 0700 hours and remain so until 1700, or as required if a formal inspection is scheduled. Company Commanders have primary responsibility for conducting inspections of all cadets
and rooms in their company area. Daily inspections may be delegated to the level of the first line supervisor (Squad
Leader or Team Leader) with additional spot checks conducted by members of the chain of command or NCO
support channel. The Regimental Commander and Battalion Commanders will spot-check rooms in addition to
ensuring that their staffs are inspected. All cadets on official absence, or detached service (DS), will have their
rooms prepared for inspection prior to departing and their locations will be annotated on door cards. To assist
inspecting officers with inspecting to standards and the cadets knowing if the standards are being met or there are
discrepancies, refer to the NUCC Daily Room Inspection Evaluation Form. See Chapter 11, Appendix B.
180
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
b. All cadet quarters will be prepared for daily inspection as described in daily room and barracks standards published in this SOP. In addition to scheduled inspections the following is required:
1) All room doors will remain open or propped open throughout the inspection.
2) Cadets will be in the proper uniform, prepared to call the room to “attention” or “at ease” for the inspecting
officer or NCO, respectively.
3) Door material must be updated and posted.
4) In the event that a member of the room is absent, the other occupant(s) should be able to respond with the
individual’s whereabouts.
5) Windows, windowsills, window wells, and balconies (Hawkins), will be clean and free of objects.
6) Telephone ringers and sound devices will be turned off from the start of an inspection until dismissed.
7) Windows and curtains will be open or closed uniformly throughout the inspected company area. Curtains
will hang free, not tied.
11-22. Afternoon (TAI, FAI) and Saturday Morning (SMI) Inspections. These inspections will be conducted the
same as daily room inspections described in paragraph 11-21, but will include:
a. A complete copy (only one per room) of the NUSRR, and NUCC SOP Manual will be displayed, centered on one
desk. Room occupants can download and print these documents from the NU website. Occupants may display

CHAPTER 12
CORPS OF CADETS DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM
12-1. General.
a. Purpose. The purpose of the Corps of Cadets disciplinary system is to maintain good order and discipline cadets, to promote high standards of ethical behavior, and ensure the fair and just treatment of others. The system
is designed to be instructive and corrective in nature, to develop self-discipline as a daily way of life, and to teach
cadets to accept full responsibility for all that they do or fail to do. It is intended to teach cadets to place a sense
of duty above self-interest and to be judicious and consistent in their dealings with other cadets. Authority vested
in cadet leaders within the disciplinary system supports the practical application of leadership development in
the Corps.
b. Commander’s Responsibility. Commanders are responsible for good order and discipline in their commands.
Generally, discipline can be maintained through effective leadership including, when necessary, administrative
corrective measures. Non-judicial punishment is ordinarily appropriate when administrative corrective measures or ordinary disciplinary actions haven’t changed the behavior or are inadequate due to the nature of the
offense or the record of the cadet. Non-judicial punishment shall be considered on an individual basis. Commanders considering non-judicial punishment should consider the nature of the offense, the record of the cadet,
the need for good order and discipline, and the effect of non-judicial punishment on the cadet and the cadet’s
record.
c. Commander’s Discretion. A commander who is considering a Class I Offense for disposition will exercise
personal discretion in evaluating each case, both as to whether non-judicial punishment is appropriate, and, if
so, as to the nature and amount of punishment appropriate. No superior may direct that a subordinate authority
impose non-judicial punishment in a particular case; nor shall a superior issue regulations, orders, or “guides”
which suggest to subordinate authorities that certain categories of offenses be disposed of by non-judicial punishment instead of by an Administrative Discipline Hearing Board (Full Hearing Board or Summary Session),
or administrative corrective measures, or that predetermined kinds or amounts of punishment be imposed for
certain offenses that the subordinate considers appropriate for disposition by non-judicial punishment.
d. Commander’s Suspension Authority. Commanders should consider suspending all or part of any punishment selected under the Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations (NUSRR) Index of Class I Offenses, particularly in the case of first offenders or when significant extenuating or mitigating matters are present.
Suspension provides an incentive to the offender and gives an opportunity to the commander to evaluate the
offender during the period of suspension.
e. Limitations on Non-judicial Punishment.
1) When punishment has been imposed for a Class 1 Offense, punishment may not again be imposed for the
same offense or incident.
2) Once non-judicial punishment has been imposed, it may not be increased upon appeal or otherwise. Only
the Commandant and the VPEMSA have the authority on appeals to uphold, rescind or amend any decision, to include decreasing a punishment.
3) When a commander determines that non-judicial punishment is appropriate for a particular cadet, all
known offenses determined to be appropriate for disposition by non-judicial punishment and ready to be
considered at that time, including all such offenses arising from a single incident or course of conduct, shall
ordinarily be considered together, and not made the basis for multiple punishments.
f.
Relationship of Non-judicial Punishment to Administrative Corrective Measures. The NUSRR and the
NUCC Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) do not apply, to include, or limit use of administrative corrective
measures that promote efficiency and good order and discipline such as counseling, admonitions, reprimands,
exhortations, disapprovals, criticisms, censures, reproofs, and rebukes. The maximum punishment that may be
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
201
imposed by a Commander using Disciplinary Action Form (NUCC Form 12.1) is 4 marching tours and 4 work
tours. Alleged violations of the NUSRRthat warrant more severe disciplinary action must be adjudicated as a
Class I Offense. Punishment recommended by a Commander using the Disciplinary Action Form (NUCC Form
12.1) must be signed by an Assistant Commandant and is placed in the cadet’s personnel file. Administrative
corrective measures are not punishment, and they may be used for acts or omissions which are not offenses
under NUSRR Index of Class I Offenses and for acts or omissions which are offenses under the NUSRR Index
of Class I Offenses.
g. Failure to Comply with any of the Procedural Provisions of the NUSRR or this SOP shall not invalidate a
punishment imposed for a Class I Offense, unless the error materially prejudiced a substantial right of the cadet
on whom the punishment was imposed.
12-2. Who may impose non-judicial punishment.
a. The following persons may serve as a non-judicial punishment authority for the purposes of administering
non-judicial punishment proceedings under the NUSRR:
1) Company Commanders
2) Battalion Commanders
3) Regimental Commander
4) Assistant Commandants
5) Commandant
6) Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs
b. In alleged violations involving violence, hazing, bullying, assault, battery, stalking, sexual misconduct or assault,
harassment, possession of illegal substances and /or other serious breaches of state or federal law, the scope of
authority, normally granted to the Corps of Cadets Chain of Command shall, for liability reasons, be superseded
by that of the Commandant of Cadets. The Corps of Cadets Chain of Command must report the alleged violations involving these serious breaches to the Commandant’s staff immediately.
12-3. Disciplinary System Procedures (Refer to NU Student Rules and Regulations Chapter 9)
12-4. Punishments.
a. The NUSRR limits the kind and amount of punishment authorized. The non-judicial punishment authority
shall refer to the following sections of the NUSRR before imposing any punishment: cross ref updated NUSRR
1) Chapter 9, Section III Ordinary Disciplinary Actions
2) Chapter 9, Section IV Major Disciplinary Actions,
3) Chapter 9, Section V Due Process,
4) Chapter 9, Section VI Standard of Proof,
5) Chapter 9, Section VII Disciplinary System Procedures,
6) Chapter 9, Section XVII Commanding Officer’s Authority,
7) Chapter 9, Section XVIII Penalty Index for Class 1 Offenses, and
8) Chapter 9, Section XIX Index of Class I Offenses
b. Types of punishment.
Disciplinary Tours – Marching and Work
NUCC Campus Confinement (NUCC Form-12.6)
NUCC Close Military Confinement. (NUCC Form-12.7)
Disciplinary Probation
Rank Reduction
Letter of Reprimand
Suspension
Dismissal
12-5. Suspension, mitigation, remission, and setting aside. The commander who imposes non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant Commandant, the Commandant, or the VPEM202
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
SA, may at any time, suspend any part or amount of the unexecuted punishment imposed and may suspend a rank
reduction, whether or not executed.
a. Suspension of a punishment may not be for a period longer than 6 months from the date of the suspension or
the end of the spring semester, which automatically terminates the period of suspension.
b. An action suspending a punishment shall be documented in the cadet’s 201 file and must specify that the cadet
not violate any NUSRR. The non-judicial punishment authority shall specify in writing any additional conditions of the suspension. Example: “On (date), the punishment(s) of 10 marching tours, 10 work tours, and 10 days
Close Military Confinement (CMC), imposed on (date of punishment) were suspended and will be automatically
remitted if not vacated before (date suspension ends), the cadet may not violate any NUSRR and is prohibited from
any form of contact with D Company freshmen by order of (the officer who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority).”
c. A suspension may be vacated by any non-judicial punishment authority or commander authorized to impose upon the cadet concerned punishment of the kind and amount involved in the vacation of suspension.
Before a suspension may be vacated, the cadet ordinarily shall be notified and given an opportunity to respond.
Although a hearing is not always required to vacate a suspension, if the punishment is of the kind set forth for
a serious misconduct, the cadet should, unless impracticable, be given an opportunity to appear before the
non-judicial punishment authority authorized to vacate suspension of the punishment to present any matters in
defense, extenuation, or mitigation of the violation on which the vacation action is to be based. The Non-judicial
Punishment Authority shall report the findings of the proceedings to vacate a suspension on NUCC Report of
Proceedings to Vacate Suspension Form, (NUCC Form-12.5). Vacation of a suspended non-judicial punishment
is not itself non-judicial punishment, and additional action to impose non-judicial punishment for a violation of
the NUSRR upon which the vacation action is based is not precluded thereby.
d. Mitigation is a reduction in either the quantity or quality of a punishment, its general nature remaining the
same. Mitigation is appropriate when the offender’s later good conduct merits a reduction in the punishment,
or when it is determined that the punishment imposed was disproportionate. The commander who imposes
non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant Commandant, , the
Commandant, or the VPEMSA, may at any time, mitigate any part or amount of the unexecuted portion of the
punishment imposed. An action mitigating a punishment by a cadet commander must be approved by an Assistant Commandant and shall be documented in the Cadet’s 201 file. Example: “On (date), the punishment(s) of 20
marching tours, 20 work tours, and 20 days Close Military Confinement (CMC), imposed on (date of punishment)
were mitigated to 5 marching tours, 10 work tours, and 15 days Campus Confinement (CC) by order of (the officer
who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority).”
e. Remission is an action whereby any portion of the unexecuted punishment is cancelled. Remission is appropriate under the same circumstances as mitigation. The commander who imposes non-judicial punishment, a
successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant Commandant, Commandant, or the VPEMSA,
may at any time, remit any part or amount of the unexecuted portion of the punishment imposed. An action mitigating a punishment must be approved by an Assistant Commandant and shall be documented in the Cadet’s
201 file. Example: “On (date), the punishment(s) of 25 work tours and 25 days Campus Confinement (CC), imposed
on (date of punishment) were remitted by order of (the officer who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in
command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority).”
f.
Setting aside is an action whereby the punishment or any part or amount thereof, whether executed or unexecuted, is set aside and any property, privileges, or rights affected by the punishment set aside are restored. The
commander who imposes non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant Commandant, the Commandant, or the Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs
may set aside punishment. An action setting aside a punishment by a cadet commander must be approved by
an Assistant Commandant and shall be documented in the Cadet’s 201 file. The power to set aside punishments
and restore rights, privileges, and property affected by the executed portion of a punishment should ordinarily
be exercised only when the authority considering the case believes that, under all circumstances of the case, the
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
203
punishment has resulted in clear injustice. The power to set aside an executed punishment should ordinarily be
exercised only within a reasonable time after the punishment has been executed. In this connection, 1 month is a
reasonable time in the absence of unusual circumstances. Example: “On (date), the punishment(s) of 15 marching
tours and 25 days Close Military Confinement (CMC), imposed on (date of punishment) were set aside, and all
rights, privileges, and property restored by order of (the officer who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in
command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority).”
12-6. Appeals. Refer to NU Student Rules and Regulations Chapter 9, Section VIII.
12.7. Refusal to Comply with Punishment. Once granted due process (to include the appeal process) and punished,
a cadet does not have the right to refuse the punishment. If a cadet refuses to accept or comply with a punishment, the
Commandant and the VPEMSA have the authority to suspend or dismiss the cadet from the University.

APPENDIX A
FORMAT FOR NOTIFICATION OF APPELLATE FINDINGS
Norwich University
Corps of Cadets
March 15, 2008
SUBJECT: Results of Appeal of Disciplinary Action
Cadet (First, MI, Last Name of Appellant) Company, Battalion
1.
Single-space the text with double-spacing between paragraphs. Example: “I have read and considered your appeal
of the findings and punishment imposed by Cadet Captain Wilson A. Gerard, Commander, G Company, on
March 1, 2008.”
2.
The appeal you are responding to must include the appellant’s reasons for regarding the punishment as
unjust or disproportionate. The appeal and allied documents must contain justification to support one or more
of the following:
a. The introduction of new evidence
b. The evidence was insufficient for a finding of guilty
c. Due process was not provided
d. Appeal of the measure of punishment.
3. Write a brief, well-organized paragraph that explains the rationale that lead to your decision.
a. If you recommend approval of the appeal, this paragraph should develop and support the basis for
approval by discussing facts discovered during your review of the case and the merits of the arguments
made by the appellant.
b. If you recommend disapproval, this paragraph should summarize and support the facts and rationale that
lead you to agree with the punishment imposed by the commander
4.
An action suspending a punishment must specify that the cadet not violate any NUSRR and list any additional
conditions of the suspension in this paragraph. Example: “the punishment imposed by Cadet Captain Wilson A.
Gerard is approved and will be executed, but the execution of that part of the punishment extending to 15
Marching tours and 15 days of Close Military Confinement (CMC) is suspended for two months at which time, unless the suspension is sooner vacated, the suspended part of the punishment will be remitted without further action.
The accused may not violate any NUSRR and is prohibited from any form of contact with g company freshmen.”
5. In acting on an appeal, the superior authority may determine that the punishment was unjust. Example: “the findings of guilty and the sentence are disapproved. The charges are dismissed. All rights, privileges, and property of
which the accused has been deprived by virtue of the punishment imposed are disapproved and will be restored.”
6. In acting on an appeal, the superior authority may determine that a procedural error was committed. Example:
“in the case of Cadet Adam S. Tower, it appears that the following error was committed: (exhibit 1, the accused
was not allowed to present matters of extenuation or mitigation). This error was prejudicial to rights of the
accused as to the findings and the sentence. The case is returned to the convening authority that may order a
rehearing or dismiss the charges.”

CHAPTER 13
REGIMENTAL GUARD, BARRACKS DUTY, AND OTHER DETAILS
13-1. General. A regimental guard force and duty details are posted daily when the university is in regular session, to include during final examination weeks, in order to maintain order and discipline, protect persons and property, enforce regulations and policies, and conduct routine administrative and operational functions of Norwich University and the Corps of
Cadets. The regimental guard force and duty details are in place to support and reinforce the overall campus security, safety
plan and to provide a critical communications link from the Regimental Commander to the Corps of Cadets, the Commandant’s and Student Affairs Staffs, the Campus Security Patrol, and other persons and agencies in and outside of the university
community, especially after normal duty hours. All members of the guard force and duty details are detailed for a twenty-four
hour period. Some duty details allow for on-call periods as noted below. The Regimental S2 is the proponent for this policy.
13-2. Organization. Composition of the guard force and duty details is as follows:
a. Regimental Duty Officer (RDO) - 1
b. Regimental Duty Sergeant (RDS) - 1
c. Regimental Duty Runner/clerk (RDR)-1
d. Barracks Duty Officer (BDO) - 9 (Thursday-Saturday evenings. One from each barracks as needed.)
13-3. Guard Duty Scheduling.
a. The Regimental S2 will be responsible for the scheduling of Guard Duty weekday and weekend calendar assignments for each battalion and Headquarters Company. Battalion/Headquarters Commanders, or their designee,
using cadets assigned from their respective unit(s), will be responsible for the day and weekend scheduling of
the guard personnel, their attendance and compliance to standards. Guard duty will begin on the Friday before
Leader’s Week during the Fall Semester and run through the day before Reading Day in the spring semester with
the exceptions of these calendar events:
• Thanksgiving Break
• Fall Semester Exams
• Mid-Year Vacation
• Spring Break
b. All cadets, including recognized first year cadets, are eligible to be assigned to Guard Duty. Provisional Battalion
(Provo) will be excluded from a scheduled six week duty because of size of the unit and the many scheduling conflicts planned during the school year. Provisional Battalion will be used for Guard Duty as needed to supplement
for units on hard to staff weekends; example: Junior Ring. The Provisional Battalion Commander will be notified
at least four weeks prior to the duty dates needed as to allow sufficient time to schedule staff. The roster of cadets
will be supplied by the S1 staff in accordance with published rosters, by the Adjutant and Housing Office. The BN
Commanders and HHC Company Commander will have their schedule complete and turned into the S2 OIC
and the Director of Operations and Training three days before academic classes begin for the school year. These
rosters will be posted in the Guard Room, 1SG bulletin Board and the Corps of Cadets team site.
c.
Cadets assigned to Guard Duty are responsible for their attendance. If they cannot carry out the assigned duty, it
is the responsibility of assigned cadet to find a replacement. The cadet must notify his/her chain of command and
the S2 of any changes in his/her assignment. In the case where a cadet does not show up for their assigned duty,
S2 staff will notify the cadets’ respective BN Commander or his/her designee that is assigned for that six week
period to find a replacement. A cadet who fails to report for his assigned duty is subject to discipline under the
Norwich University Rules and Regulations (NURR). Battalion and Company Commanders will assure to supply
the S2 staff with emergency contact information, in case such situations arise.

or PVT, including recognized freshmen.
13-7. Barracks Duty Officer (BDO). BDO will be scheduled during high risk weekends and when directed by the
Commandant, Assistant Commandant, Regimental or Battalion Commanders to maintain good order and discipline,
protect persons and property, and enforce regulations and policies in and around the barracks and battalion area.. The

Battalion Commander’s representative and is visibly posted in and makes rounds of his/her barracks area during the
hours from 2100-0100 on Thursday and 2100-0300 on Friday and Saturday nights. With approval by the Regimental
Commander, Battalion Commanders may authorize extended hours or additional nights for BDO. The BDO will follow

of the guard force and duty details remain on the main university campus during their entire watch. A member of the
guard unable to perform duty due to an emergency or other reason must notify his/her 1SG and the RDO as soon as
possible in order to obtain proper relief. Cadets in Close Military Confinement will not be detailed for duty. Members
of the guard will NOT march or work any disciplinary tours during their watch.

cadets detailed for duty are responsible to ensure that their grooming and uniform standards are in accordance with the
standards of the Norwich University Corps of Cadets. RS2 is responsible for inspecting duty personnel on the day of
their assigned duty. Any cadet whose uniform or appearance fails to meet the standards will be removed from the detail.
The cadet will then return to his/her company area, make all necessary corrections to his/her uniform and appearance,
and report back to the RDO or RDS within thirty minutes. The cadet will be charged and sanctioned under the ordinary
disciplinary system for the first offense. Subsequent offenses may incur a Class I charge and sanction.

CHAPTER 14
ARMS ROOMS AND WEAPONS PROCEDURES AND SECURITY
References:
NU Student Rules and Regulations
Cadet Handbook
NUCC SOP CH 5
Army FM 23-8 US Rifle 7.62, M14, May 1965
USARAK Regulation 190-1 Lost weapon procedure.
14-1. General.
The oversight of university-issued government M14 and M1903 rifles is the responsibility of each commander and every
member of the Corps of Cadets. Security and accountability of all issued weapons are extremely important. Each cadet
is tasked with maintaining at all times the security and accountability of his or her assigned weapon. Commanders are
tasked with maintaining the security and accountability of all weapons assigned to members of their respective units.
Members of the Corps of Cadets who are assigned as armorers have additional duties and responsibilities with respect
to government-owned rifles. While certain sections of this chapter deal specifically with armorer functions, all cadets are
required to read and be familiar with the essential elements of this chapter that deal with cadet responsibilities, issue and
turn-in procedures, emergency and lost weapon procedures, infractions, and security. All commanders and all armorers must be intimately knowledgeable of this entire chapter. Though the bulk of this chapter deals specifically with U.S.
Government M14 and M1903 rifles, the term “weapon” will be generally applied to all weapons issued by the university
wherever practical. Privately owned weapons or replicas are not authorized on campus, and none of the provisions of
this chapter are intended to imply otherwise. See NUSRR CH 3, sec XX and NUCC SOP CH 5.
14-2. Purpose.
Demilitarized rifles, sabers, and swords are issued to cadets by the university for ceremonial purposes only, and should
never be pointed at individuals or used in other than ceremonial training and formations without expressed permission
from the Commandant. Pointing any weapon at an individual can only be interpreted as a threat and is forbidden. All
cadets not assigned to key leader positions requiring a saber or sword will be issued a government M14 or M1903 rifle
for the purpose of mastering basic military skills such as the Manual of Arms, care and maintenance, assembly and disassembly, nomenclature, and close-order drill under arms. These skills are important in further developing the self-discipline, responsibility, attention to detail, and military bearing of each cadet and the cadet’s assigned unit through drill,
inspections, parades and ceremonies. See NUSRR CH 8, sec XIX.
14-3. Commander and Leader Responsibilities.
Commanders and all other leaders in each chain of command are responsible to teach, train, and enforce weapons security, safety, and accountability procedures outlined in this chapter. Commanders and all other leaders are charged with
implementing a regular weapons cleaning, maintenance, training, and inspection program. All leaders are responsible
to conduct a monthly weapons serial number inventory. Company Commanders will document and certify the results
of the monthly inventory on a monthly inventory log (the CMAIL), and forward the log to their respective Battalion
Commanders. Battalion Commanders will receive and certify the CMAIL from each Company Commander in their
respective battalion and complete a Certified Weapons Inventory Report (CWIR). Battalion Commanders will then forward their CWIR, with all CMAIL’s attached, to the Regimental S2, who will advise the Regimental Executive Officer
of any discrepancies. The S4 and staff will assist in the monthly required Norwich University Staff (Commandant’s S4
advisor or designated representative) and National Service Division Officer/NCO Arms Room inventory located in the
basement of Goodyear Hall. See Figure 14-5.
14-4. Cadet Responsibilities.
a. Cadets are at all times responsible for the maintenance, accountability, and security of their assigned rifle and of
any rifle under their charge. Cadets will safeguard rifles from loss or damage and will be financially liable for loss
or damage to any rifle assigned to them or under their charge. Any cadet who witnesses the misuse or abuse of a
weapon, a breach of the security, or an unsafe act is to immediately take corrective action and report the incident to
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
243
the chain of command. With the exception of Drill Company members, every cadet who is not issued a saber or
sword will be issued an M14 rifle. Every Drill Company member will be issued an M1903 rifle.
b. Specific expectations of all cadets include each of the following:
1) Cadets will have positive control of their assigned weapon at all times.
2) Cadets’ rooms will be secured at all times when not occupied. Windows at ground floor and below, and all
doors, must be locked when rooms are unoccupied.
3) Rooms that for any period of time greater than twenty-four hours will be secured with doors and windows
closed and locked.
4) Rifles will be positioned in the wooden rifle rack whenever weapons are not in use.
5) Each cadet is to keep his or her assigned rifle in his or her assigned room at all times except during scheduled
Corps or ROTC training requiring use of the rifles. The M14 and M1903 rifles are for ceremonial purposes
only and are not to be used for physical training or military tactics training except as authorized by the Commandant and as noted on the training schedule.
6) No rifle will be handled by any person other than the one to whom it is assigned, with the exception of
members of the cadet’s direct chain of command or armorers performing maintenance checks and services,
inspections, or conducting rifle issue or turn-in.
7) Each cadet is responsible to clean and maintain his or her rifle and to check and report to his/her chain of
command the condition of the assigned rifle immediately after issue and before turn-in. Any rifle not returned
to the armorer at the time of issue is presumed to be in good condition.
8) Disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of rifles will take place only in areas and at times designated by the
Company Commander, First Sergeant, or Platoon Sergeant. Company armorers are responsible to coordinate,
and assist their company chain of command in, conducting initial and follow-up weapons cleaning and maintenance training each time weapons are issued.
14-5. Issued Weapons Infractions. Cadets are responsible for their assigned weapon at all times. Everything a cadet
does or fails to do with his or her assigned weapon is the cadet’s individual responsibility. Carelessness with and neglect
of issued government M14 and M1903 rifles will result in financial liability. It is each cadet’s responsibility to read and
understand this SOP and the applicable Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations governing issued weapons.
See NUSRR CH 8, sec XIX.
a. Misuse or Unauthorized Modification. Misuse or Modification of a Weapon is defined by the Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations as any change, however slight, to the original integrity of the weapon. All
weapons are to remain in “as issued” condition. Cadets are not authorized to purchase or acquire parts for university
weapons. Whenever a weapon requires parts or repairs, the cadet issued the weapon will report as such to his/her
chain of command, which will coordinate through armorer channels to have the part ordered or have the repair
made by proper authority. See NUSRR CH 9, sec XVII.
b. Unauthorized Removal. Defined as any time a weapon is removed from a cadet’s room or from university
property for a purpose other than authorized ceremonies or Manual of Arms training. Weapons are not authorized
outside a cadet’s room except to conduct approved Manual of Arms training, maintenance and accountability inspections, and scheduled formations and ceremonies. When not in the arms room or in use, weapons will only be
stored in the wooden rifle rack provided by Norwich University and normally permanently affixed to the cadet’s
wardrobe. Weapons will not be taken off of university property unless authorized by the Commandant. Cadets
will not lend or exchange rifles or rifle parts with another cadet for any reason.
c.
Unauthorized Transportation of Rifle. Defined as any time a university or government rifle is transported in a
privately owned vehicle or an unapproved storage container, and/or any time a government or university rifle is transported to a location by a mode of transportation not approved by the Commandant. Whenever transportation of rifles
is authorized, written approval will be carried by the transporting cadet at all times while the rifle is in transport.
d. Unauthorized Weapons Training. Unauthorized weapons training is defined as any time a university-issued
rifle or other weapon is used in a non-ceremonial training event. Rifles and other weapons are not to be used in conjunction with physical training, military tactics or ROTC training unless specifically directed by the Comman244
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
dant. Cadets will not conduct any non-ceremonial training with rifles unless written approval has been previously
granted by the Commandant and is noted on the training schedule.
e. Unsecured Weapon. Unoccupied rooms with unlocked doors are considered unsecured, even if the weapon(s)
is/are in the rifle rack(s). In ground floor rooms and below, windows must be locked to be considered secure.
f.
Weapons Safety. Pointing a weapon at another person is strictly forbidden. Such behavior can only be interpreted as a hostile gesture and is a serious breach of the Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations and
could result in suspension or dismissal. Carrying weapons into administrative and academic buildings is also unauthorized. Any physical contact with another individual, where a weapon is the instrument of contact, is strictly
forbidden. Engaging in weapons foul play will result in charges of assault, battery, intimidation, hazing, willful
negligent touching, disobedience of orders, and/or other appropriate disciplinary charges, as well as possible
criminal or civil charges. See NUSRR CH 9, sec XVII.
g. False Accountability Statements. Any purposely inaccurate report, gesture, or confirmation concerning the
accountability of a cadet’s weapon will be considered an honor violation.
14-6. Arms Room Security. All arms room operations and activities will only be conducted using the two-person rule.
Two authorized cadets must be present at all times. No single cadet is authorized unescorted access to the arms rooms.
This means that whenever the Regimental and/or Drill Company arms rooms are open for any reason, there will be at
least two authorized persons in the arms room at all times. The Regimental Commander will designate by name and rank
all persons authorized access to each arms room. The primary cadets are the Regimental S-4, Regimental Armorer, and
Company Armorers. All other persons may only enter the arms rooms whenever they are properly staffed by authorized
cadets or officials of the Office of the Commandant or the Norwich University Security Patrol. Door locks and code
entry controlled by Commandant/Staff.
14-7. Weapons Security. Cadets are at all times and without exception responsible for the security of their assigned
weapon. The following safety procedures apply strictly to university issued government M14 and M1903 rifles, and generally to all assigned university weapons (See NUSRR CH 8, sec XIX):
a. Rooms will be locked at all times when the occupants are not present. Windows on ground floors and below must
be locked.
b. Rifles will be stored in the provided wooden rifle rack at all times. The only exceptions are during authorized
Manual of Arms training, parades and ceremonies, and maintenance and accountability inspections.
c. Cadets will not trust the security of their assigned weapon to another individual outside of their direct chain of
command.
d. No rifle will be handled by any person other than the cadet to whom it is issued. All other persons are strictly
forbidden to handle any rifle. The only exceptions are members of a cadet’s direct chain of command and the unit
and regimental armorers.
e. Cadets are financially responsible for their assigned weapon. It is a cadet’s responsibility to immediately notify the
chain of command in the event a weapon becomes misplaced.
f.
Any student who discovers an unsecured weapon will immediately turn in the weapon to a member of the chain
of command.
g. Exception to the above policy: during a fire alarm evacuation, cadets will leave their weapons in their rooms with
their doors unlocked.
14-8. Yearly Issue and Turn-in. Rifle issue and turn-in will take place at least twice during the academic year. The first
issue will be prior to Labor Day at the start of the academic year. The first turn-in will be prior to Thanksgiving break. The
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
245
second issue for the year will be in January at the start of the second semester. The second turn-in will be prior to spring break.
Exact issue and turn-in dates and times will be determined by the Commandant. Unit armorers will conduct arms room
operations, to include rifle issue, inspection, turn-in, and repair under the supervision of the S4 Regimental Armorer.
14-9. S4 Regimental Armorer. The S4 Regimental Armorer has primary responsibility for the efficient operation of the
university’s consolidated arms room in Goodyear Hall, and also has oversight over operation of the Drill Company arms room
in Gerard Hall. The S4 Regimental Armorer’s responsibilities include: (See NUCC SOP CH 3, Figure 3-4d.7 and CH 15):
a. Act as liaison between the Regimental S4 Staff and the unit commanders in all matters pertaining to issued rifles.
b. Advise commanders and staff on all matters pertaining to rifle issue and turn-in, maintenance and supply, accountability and security.
c. Oversee the operations of the university’s arms rooms and coordinate rifle issue and turn-in, maintenance and
training, accountability and security, and weapons security policy development and enforcement.
d. Coordinate and publish hours of operation and maintenance and supply procedures.
e. In accordance with Army regulations, coordinate the monthly arms room inventory and accompany officials of
the Department of Defense and the Commandant’s Staff conducting the inventory. Prepare and distribute the
monthly inventory report.
f.
Ensure that whenever the arms rooms are open they are NEVER left unsecured, that the two-person rule is always
followed, and that no one has unescorted access to the arms rooms.
g. Designate by name and rank on an access roster all persons authorized to access and/or staff each arms room.
Post a copy of each access roster in the corresponding arms room, and forward copies of the access rosters to the
Regimental S2.
14-10. Company Armorers. Company armorers are accountable to their respective Company Commanders and must
advise and assist them in implementing and maintaining a weapons security, safety, training, and maintenance program in
accordance with this policy. Company armorers, through their respective company chains of command, must coordinate
with their Battalion Admin/Log Officers all matters pertaining to university issued weapons.
a. Company Armorer responsibilities include:
1) Act as liaison between the Regimental Armorer and their respective Company Commanders in all matters
pertaining to issued weapons.
2) Advise their respective Company Commanders on all matters pertaining to rifle issue and turn-in, training,
maintenance and supply, accountability and security.

NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
14-12. Absences from Campus. Cadets who will be absent from the university campus for seventy-two (72) hours or
less will secure their weapons in their rooms as usual. Cadets who must leave campus for more than 72 hours must turn
in their weapons to the Company Commander, Co 1SGT or Co Armorer. In all cases, cadets must indicate on their leave
forms the status/location of their weapons for the period of their absence. If a cadet leaves campus without securing his/
her weapon, or leaves campus and does not return within the previously expected time frame, the cadet’s chain of command must gain positive control of the weapon and, if necessary, coordinate to have the weapon turned into the arms
room.
14-13. Lost Weapon Procedure. SEE INSERT from AR. The following steps will be taken when a government or
university weapon is reported missing:
STEP 1.
Notify chain of command — go to step 2.
Step 2.
Search immediate area — weapon found — go to step 3.
Weapon not found — go to step 4.
Step 3.
Secure weapon in room — cadet counseling required.
Step 4.
Search floor and/or immediate area — weapon found — go to step 3.
Weapon not found go to step 5.
Step 5.
Notify Battalion and Regimental Commanders, Cadet Guardroom,
Commandant’s Office, and Security — Commandant, Assistant Commandant orders “Lock Down”
and search IAW with NUSRR Chapter 4 XII. — go to step 6.
Step 6.
Lock Down and Search Barracks - weapon found - go to step 3;
Weapon not found — go to step 7. Note: During barracks lock-down, members of the cadet chain of
command, the S2 staff, and the Regimental Guard will post sentinels at all doorways
Step 7.
Begin Investigation
Release Barracks from Lock-Down
Individual(s) involved are NOT released
14-14. Unrecovered Weapon Report of Survey. Commanders play the most crucial role in the security of company
weapons. Whenever a weapon is discovered missing, the person who made the discovery must report it to the chain of
command. The Commander must then initiate and follow through on lost weapon procedures (see paragraph 14-13).
Any time a missing weapon is not recovered the Commander must promptly and thoroughly investigate the matter and
determine who should be held monetarily liable for the missing weapon. The Commander’s investigation report, called
a Report of Survey, (NUCC Form 15.4) must clearly explain the details and results of the Commander’s investigation.
The report, with rationale, must include the name or names of the person or persons who should be held financially responsible for the missing weapon. The report should be forwarded through the Battalion Commander to the Regimental
S4, who will provide copies to the Student Housing and Records Officer. The student(s) will then be financially charged
for the missing weapon in addition to being charged with a disciplinary violation under the Norwich University Student
Rules and Regulations.
14-15. Weapons Forms and Administration. The following paragraphs describe the weapons forms and administration. Sample forms appear at the end of the chapter.
a. NUCC Weapons Card (NUCC Form 14.3749a). The NUCC Weapons Card is an equipment receipt. Every new
cadet will receive a blank weapons card prior to being issued a weapon for the first time. All cadets are required
to keep their weapons cards until they graduate or withdraw from the university. Each company armorer must
ensure that each cadet in his or her company completes the weapons card accurately. When the rifle is issued to
the cadet, the armorer places the cadet’s weapons card in the arms room weapons rack in the well of the weapon
being signed out. The cadet receives his/her weapons card back only when the returned weapon is restored to its
NUCC STANDING OPERATING PROCEDURES (NUCC SOP) – August 2015
249
proper well in the rack. Whenever the weapons card is in the well of the weapons rack, it is assumed that the cadet
has possession of the rifle. Either the weapons card is inside the arms room in the well of the weapons rack, or the
rifle is inside the arms room in the well of the weapons rack; there are no exceptions!
(See Figure 14-3).
b. Weapons Control Log (WCL, NUCC Form 14.3749b). Every new cadet will also receive a blank weapons control log (WCL) prior to being issued a rifle for the first time. Armorers must ensure that both sides of the WCL
are completed properly. The WCL is maintained by the company armorer and filed inside the arms room in each
company’s card file. The card files remain inside the arms room at all times; there are no exceptions! Each time a
cadet signs his or her rifle in or out, the cadet will sign and date the next blank line in the corresponding issue or
turn-in column on the WCL. (See Figure 14-4, Weapons Control Log.)
c. Company Master Authorization List/Monthly Inventory Log (CMAIL). The CMAIL is a dual-purpose form.
It is a complete roster of the names, serial numbers, and butt numbers for all assigned weapons in the company.
Before a weapon can be issued, the company armorer must check each cadet’s identification card and weapons
card against the CMAIL to ensure that rifles are not issued unlawfully. Armorers will continuously update the
CMAIL for their company and provide distribution copies to post in the arms room. Armorers must also provide
copies of the CMAIL to the Company Commander and First Sergeant. Information on the CMAIL is entered into
the Banner system. The CMAIL is also used to conduct monthly inventories of all rifles assigned to all individuals
in the unit. These monthly inventories should take place during Command Reveille on Monday mornings and
Command Retreat on Thursday afternoons. The monthly inventories are the responsibility of the Company Commander. Other cadet leaders and the unit armorers must assist the Company Commander in accounting for and
securing all weapons in the unit. When monthly inventories are completed, the Company Commander must certify
to the Battalion Commander that all weapons have been inventoried and accounted for. The Company Commander does this by forwarding a signed copy of the month’s CMAIL to the Battalion Commander. (See Figure 14-5,
CMAIL)
d. Certified Weapons Inventory Report (CWIR). Once the Battalion Commanders receive the results of the
monthly weapons inventories from each of their respective companies, they then complete a Certified Weapons
Inventory Report, attaching each company’s monthly inventory log (CMAIL). The Battalion Commander then
forwards the CWIR with attached CMAIL’s to the Regimental S-4, who reviews and forwards them to the Regimental Commander. At all levels, if there are any discrepancies noted, leaders must take immediate action to resolve
the discrepancy. (See Figure 14-6, Certified Weapons Inventory Report.)
e. DA Form 2062 (Hand Receipt/Annex Number). A Department of the Army Hand Receipt (DA Form 2062)
may be used to loan rifles from the arms room to certain individuals outside of the Norwich University Corps of
Cadets when authorized by the Commandant. (See Figure 14-7, Hand Receipt.)
