Upcoming field training exercises for ROTC

By Blake Harris

     The NSU ROTC members have field training exercises planned for Oct. 15 through 17. The field training exercises are at Camp Gruber near Braggs. These exercises are used to get the upcoming junior class ready for their summer training camp, ELDAC. 

     Everyone from NSU’s ROTC is involved in these exercises. They have three days to sum up a 28-day training camp. Some of the training includes land navigation, operation orders and much more. Casey Hudson, Westville senior is attending the training sessions.

     “This training puts people in a leadership role and gets them out of their comfort zone, and we see if they can step up as a leader,” said Hudson.

      Other schools will attend this training session to learn to work with others. There is only one FTX each semester.
