Eagle Detachment Cadet Staff

ROTC!

Each school year, the MSIV class takes charge of the planning and execution of all aspects of the USI ROTC program. The senior cadet takes charge of the program as the Detachment Commander, and assigns other MSIV cadets to fill battalion-level staff positions. Weekly staff meetings are conducted to FM 5-0 standards. Cadets may be rotated through various staff assignments throughout the year to provide the greatest exposure to the expectations of each position.
