Camp Gruber Paint Ball

This week the NSU Army ROTC Program conducted MOUT Site / Urban Ops at Camp Gruber. Junior level cadets planned a mission to assault two fortified enemy strong holds within a small town. Cadets utilized Urban Operation skills trained within the classroom such as stacking and clearing procedures.

Fall Field Training Exercise

This last weekend our Cadets traveled to Camp Gruber to participate in this Fall's Field Training Exercise (FTX).  Cadets were challenged on their tactical abilities during STX Lanes which focused on Movement to Contact, Taking out a Bunker, Ambush and other Military Operations.  Many overcame their fear of heights while conquering Confidence Course Obstacles.  Cadets also honed their navigational skills on Camp Gruber's Land Navigation Course.

Contracting Ceremony

Several of our newest Cadets this semester were recognized at this weekend’s Homecoming Game in Tahlequah.  These cadets will be sharing a $579,426 Check which will cover their tuition, room and board, monthly stipend and other benefits while attending college.  Congratulations to each of our latest additions to the program!

NSU PaintBall

NSU ROTC conducted Paintball exercises between the Library and Wilson Hall on the Tahlequah Campus Wednesday 9/1/2010. The program allowed NSU Students the opportunity to get involved by playing a little capture the flag against our Cadets. Even with sporadic rain, we had a great turn out and everyone had an outstanding time. Cadets gained a great deal of knowledge with regard to Individual Movement Techniques as well as Offensive / Defensive ratios required to overtake positions.
