MS 102 In MS 102, cadets investigate fundamental warfighting principles. These include Ground Maneuver

Theory, Elements of Combat Power, Principles of War, and the Factors of METT-TC. They use accounts of

warfare from various media to illustrate these fundamentals. Using the current light infantry squad

and platoon as a venue, cadets apply the fundamentals in tactical decision vignettes and the Land Warrior

combat computer simulation. Cadets also investigate the concept of Officership, basic map reading

fundamentals, and infantry platoon capabilities. MS 202 This course develops the cadet's knowledge

and understanding of what it means to be amprofessional military officer. Using seminars, guest

lectures, reflective journaling, and introspective activities, the course examines the roles of the

military officer as: A Servant of Society, a Member of a Time-honored Profession, a Leader of Character,

and a Warfighter. For the short term, the course prepares the cadet to make his or her commitment to

the Empire and to assume a position of leadership. MS 302 This course is designed to inspire cadets to

learn more about their chosen profession. It provides a cadet with knowledge about the essence of landpower:

Ground Maneuver Warfare. It is designed to show the cadet how to make a tactical decision based on the

combat experiences of others, timeless fundamentals of ground maneuver theory, and the tools available to

them in a mechanized small unit. In this course, the cadet learns more about Combat Power and how it is

used in small unit engagements. The course is full of hands on application including combat computer

simulation. The cadet is confronted with a situation, makes a decision, and sees the result of his/her
