a. Concept of Operation. Operation will be executed in four phases: predeployment phase, execution, re-deployment, and after action review (AAR)
phase.
(1) Pre-deployment Phase. Prior to deployment, MS I-III Cadets conduct
Pre-Combat Inspections [PCI] on 12APR to ensure equipment readiness. At
PCIs, Ruck Sacks must be prepared for the field as there will be no access to A
Bags for the first iteration of training.
(2) Execution Phase. Stalwart BN will use committee approach along with
Cornell University AROTC program to conduct integrated training of MS I, MS
II, and MS III Cadets in selected LDAC operations. All Cadets will conduct
Rappelling, Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM), Squad STX lanes, Patrolling
Lanes, and FLRC Lanes. Also, Static Load Training and Air operations will be
conducted by specified contracted Cadets. Training features a combination of
special training for each Military Science level and collective training of MS III
Cadets in Squad STX. Consolidated training schedules below:
(a) 14 APR 2007, All Cadets will conduct two iterations (2 hour) of STX
Lanes in Training Area C-5 as well as Patrol Base operations in 4 sections.
Syracuse and Cornell Cadets will be integrated into squads and will conduct
operations as such throughout the duration of the FTX. MSIII Cadets will be
evaluated in leadership positions.
(b) 15 APR 2007, All Cadets will conduct two iterations of STX Lanes (2
Hour), 2 iterations (3 Hour) of Patrolling Lanes, and Patrol Base Operations.
Structure will generally maintain a similar structure to 14 APR with change on 3
Hour iterations of Patrolling Lanes. Movement to Garrison for operations.
(c) 16 APR 2007, All Cadets will conduct PMI/BRM classes/operations at
the FIG Zero and Qualification Ranges. Classes will consist of 4 fundamentals,
SPORTS, dime/washer drills, shadow box drills, loading and unloading of the
M16A2 rifle, proper range procedures, and safety. Cadets will also conduct
Obstacle Course, Rappelling, and Concurrent Class training. Weapons
Maintenance will occur at the end of the training day.
(d) 17 APR 2007, All Cadets will conduct FLRC Lanes at FIG course in
accordance with Cornell University plan. Syracuse MS IVs will move to
Gettysburg for Staff Ride.
(3) Redeployment Phase. All site CICs and COC responsible for ensuring
all Cadets are accounted for prior to movement from any training site.
Equipment checks and shakedowns will be conducted prior to any movement
from training site. Ensure closer report is submitted. Status cards for sensitive
items should be employed by Squad Leaders and COC.
(4) After Action Report Phase. We will conduct an AAR at home station
after the FTX is completed. The AAR Lab is scheduled to take place 26 APR
2007. All site CICs will prepare a AAR notes for their events.
