The Fall FTX (or Field Training Exercise) is an annual training event for the cadets of the Badger Battalion. For the seniors, it is the first of many troop leading exercises in the field of the classes below them. For the underclassmen, it is an introduction to life in the field and the skills they will need to succeed at LDAC/Warrior Forge and as officers in the U.S. Army.
This weekend training at Ft. McCoy features some Land Navigation, BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship) simulation training in a virtual convoy trainer and even some combatives. In addition to the high speed training, the cadets of all 4 schools work together intermixed, learning new techniques for success from each other. Take a look at some of our action shots of Cadets out at Ft. McCoy!!
On November 14th, the cadets of Alpha Company of the Badger Battalion raised money by working at a Chili Cook-Off prior to the Wisconsin vs. Michigan home football game. Cadets served chili, cookies and a variety of beverages to many hungry Badger fans at the indoor tailgate event. When they weren't busy, the cadets and cadre even found time to sing along and dance to a few classic Wisconsin fight songs.
