The Fall Validation Exercise (VALEX) tests leadership, teamwork and #WarriorEthos for #USAFA cadets.⚔️
 
Over 4,000 cadets came together for an intense 2-day field exercise, designed to push their limits and sharpen their warfighter skills. 
 
The VALEX challenged them to perform under pressure in realistic military scenarios such as:
🗺️ 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧
🩹 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞
📝 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠
