This goal-oriented, small unit approach to physical conditioning and military drill is required for all cadets enrolled in Military Science courses. This lab is conducted three times per week. It is oriented toward strength, mobility and endurance development. Physical development and the ability to master principles of small unit leadership are also stressed. Student physical development is measured via the Army Physical Fitness Test, consisting of push-ups, sit-ups, and a timed two-mile run. Drill instruction is conducted on Fridays, and stresses fundamentals of unit organization, wear of the uniform, and practical application of small unit leadership techniques. Non-Military Science students may elect to take only the physical conditioning portion of the laboratory.
