Cadets will investigate fundamental warfighting principles. These will include Ground Maneuver Theory, Elements of Combat Power, Principles of War, and the Factors of METT-TC. Using narrative text methodology, the course will use accounts of warfare from text and film to illustrate these fundamentals. Then, using the current light infantry squad and platoon as a venue, cadets will apply the fundamentals in tactical decision vignettes and a computer simulation.
