3 hours Lecture, 3 credit(s)

Lower-Division College Credit

Corequisite(s): Cadets contracted in the ROTC Program must also take the Leadership Lab (one credit hour) in conjunction with this course.

Course Description:
This course explores the dimensions of creative and innovative tactical leadership strategies and styles through examination of team dynamics and two historical leadership theories that form the basis of the Army leadership framework (trait and behavior theories). Students practice aspects of personal motivation and team building as they plan, execute, and assess team exercises and participate in Leadership Labs. Students develop leadership values and attributes through study of Army rank, structure, and duties, as well as basic aspects of land navigation and squad tactics. Case studies provide tangible context for learning the Soldier’s Creed and Warrior Ethos as they apply in the Contemporary Operating Environment (COE).
