Our cadets are building core combat skills during the Warfighter Instructor Course Field Training Exercise at Jacks Valley—applying classroom knowledge in the field and advancing from the crawl phase to full mission execution. 
 
With mentorship from tenthsfg experts, they’re developing as both warfighters and future instructors, ready to train the next generation of cadets.
 
Foundational warfighting skills include:
🔫 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭, 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞— Small-arms tactics, troop-leading procedures, and Airsoft marksmanship.
🩺 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 — Tactical Combat Casualty Care and CBRN response.
🤖 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 — Operating small unmanned aerial systems for battlefield awareness.
 
These hands-on exercises develop adaptable, mission-ready leaders prepared for the #FutureFight.
