ML200 Introduction to Small Unit Operations Laboratory is a six-to-eight week program of instruction for Third Class cadets at the United States Military Academy. ML200 is offered during the summer term as part of Cadet Field Training (CFT I and CFT II). ML200 expands on the knowledge gained in ML100 and MS100 by providing hands on application of concepts and lessons in a tactical field environment. Cadets perform select BOLC-A tasks in order to further develop the military and tactical knowledge necessary for future field training and lays the foundation for subsequent Military Science courses. The purpose of ML200 is to emphasize the foundational military competencies; prepare Third Class cadets to assume duties as NCOs in the Corps of Cadets; instill the warrior ethos in each cadet; and inspire each cadet to professional excellence through physically and mentally demanding training.
