This course builds upon the unit deployment scenario and instruction introduced during MS200. The course further develops the cadet's basic knowledge of doctrine, training management, Troop Leading Procedures (TLPs), tactics and combined arms warfare. The cadet is challenged to apply this knowledge at an intermediate level of tactical thinking at the combined arms level. Instruction in the fundamentals of Army Operations continues with emphasis on offensive and defensive tactics. Additionally, cadets will demonstrate an increased understanding of the TLPs by planning and rehearsing a platoon-level offensive and defensive operation incorporating multiple War Fighting Functions. In addition to tactics, cadets continue their instruction in the Army's Training Management System by assessing and planning unit training. Cadets also examine the small unit leader's role in ensuring that the morale and ethical decision making process is applied to all operations. Finally, cadets further their preparation for leadership roles as Lieutenants during the full spectrum of operations.
