PURPOSE:  The purpose of this correspondence is to provide students with an understanding of the requirements for initial entry into the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant (2LT).  To achieve this outcome, students will plan, conduct and evaluate training events, plan and prepare appropriate correspondence using the Army writing style (counseling forms, support forms, and related memorandums), coordinate staff actions, and plan and conduct social events for the entire ROTC department.  2. OUTCOME:  Upon completion of this course, the student will: possess the confidence and ability to plan, execute and assess training events; prepare and coordinate correspondence and staff actions; and plan and conduct social events in accordance with the grade of 2LT.  3. LIST OF SUBJECTS:  See enclosed class schedule.  4. REFERENCES: a. FM 25-100, Training the Force b. FM 25-101, Battle Focused Training c. TC 25-30, A Leader’s Guide to Company Training Meetings d.

Each MSIV cadet will prepare and submit a DA Form 67-9-1 (OER Support Form), a DA Form 67-9-1A (Junior Officer Self Development Form), a counseling form, a military letter and an NCOER.  6. GRADING REQUIREMENTS: Grading will reflect the dynamic requirements a 2LT will encounter in the assigned unit.  These requirements, although generic in the classroom, are similar to those of a platoon leader assigned to one of the divisions in the US Army.   The environment will require a mature individual capable of employing a keen attention to detail, accomplishing multiple tasks simultaneously, and displaying the intellectual capacity to respond appropriately to changing missions with minimal stress and little or no emotion.    Grading requirements are:   APFT:       -10%  Battalion Activities     -20%   Writing Requirements    -20%  Info Brief Presentation    -15%  Final       -25%  Class Participation     -10%  a.  PT Score: based on effort, attitude and performance.  Attendance is required; therefore, unexcused absences will adversely affect the grade.  Remedial PT (T/TH) will be required for MSIV cadets scoring below 240 or 75 in any of the three events.  b.  Battalion Activities: includes preparation, execution and evaluation (as required) for leadership labs as a PI or AI, STXs, FTXs, carrying out cadet staff duties and participation in all battalion functions.  c.  Writing Requirements: complete five short written requirements (DA Form 67-9-1 with 67-9-1a, NCOER, counseling form, and military letter) during the semester (5% for each).  d.  Presentation: conduct an “Information Brief” on a military leadership-related topic of your choice.  The briefing will last between 8 and 10 minutes in powerpoint format.  Identify and coordinate leadership topic with advisor NLT 21 Sep 01; e-mail coordination is encouraged.  e.  Final: complete a comprehensive final will be conducted on material covered during the course of the semester, to include critical information presented during the information briefs conducted by the other MSIV cadets.  f.  Class Participation: based on quantity and quality of active involvement in written and oral in-class presentations and other requirements generated by the Chair of the Military Science Department.  Additional requirements may be generated by current affairs and evolving issues in the Department of Defense or the United States Army such as: Army Values and Consideration of Others (CO2) Program; the role of the Military Spouse; etc.    g.  Attendance is mandatory; wear of the BDU is required for class and appropriate physical training attire is required for physical fitness classes (M/W/F 0630).  The US Army Physical Fitness Uniform is required for monthly APFT sessions.             JAMES D.
