ARMY ROTC:
Austin Peay State University

GOVERNORS GUARD



	Cadets work together to formulate a plan.
	During field training exercises, Cadets have the opportunity to put into practice the skills that they have learned in the classroom and during the labs. A good deal of what the Cadets learn, they learn from each other; it’s truly a team effort where everyone contributes to the development of the group.

Learn Leadership from the Best Leaders
