Training Opportunities

The Pointer Battalion's training program focuses on developing our cadets' leadership using basic military skills. Our goal is to train cadets to excel at the Leadership Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) and ultimately excel as leaders within the Army's Officer Corps.

The classroom curriculum develops a cadet's leadership abilities by instilling the necessary values and attributes required of an Army Leader. During our laboratory events, cadets will learn the basics of marching, navigating in different types of terrain, and marksmanship. We believe this begins the foundation for building competent and confident leaders for our great Army.

Our program also offers additional training opportunities outside the UWSP campus. These courses are offered for cadets on a voluntary basis. The Army courses are designed to challenge the cadet's mental and physical endurance and toughness. If you think you have what it takes, I highly encourage you to volunteer.

Qualified cadets may attend some of the military schools and partake in some additional training programs. Schools are open to all cadets.
