The Raider Team practices physical and technical skills at both the individual and team levels. They perform tasks that may be found in a conventional Army unit such as the Physical Fitness Test, 5Km Runs, Rope Bridges, Land Navigation Courses, First Aid Litter Carry, Cross Country Rescue, Orienteering, 5km Foot March, and Vehicle Pulls just to name a few.

 

 

 

Raider Team Mission Statement

 

Trojan Battalion Raiders develop discipline, physical and mental toughness at FFCHS and designated competition sites to enhance the leadership, critical thinking and problem solving skills to improve the self-confidence and esprit de corps of each cadet through the spirit of competition.

 

 

 

 

The Fountain Fort Carson JROTC Raider team is physically fit, mentally tough, and morally straight; willing to go the extra mile to support a fellow Raider.

 

 

Raider Creed

(Adopted from the US Army Ranger Creed)

 

Recognizing that I volunteered as a Raider, fully knowing the challenges of my chosen team, I will always to uphold the prestige, honor, and high “esprit de corps” of my Raider Team.

Acknowledging the fact that a Raider is a more elite Cadet who arrives at the cutting edge of competition ready to compete, I accept the fact that as a Raider, my JROTC Unit expects me to move farther, faster, and work harder than any other Cadet.

I shall never fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred-percent and then some.

 

Diligently will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained Cadet. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the competition. I shall defeat them for I am better trained and will work with all my might. Forfeit is not a Raider word. I will never leave a fellow Raider behind on the field of competition and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my unit.

Readily we will display the intestinal fortitude required to drive on to the Raider objective and complete the mission.

Raider Team Classroom

The Raider Team Training Site has been established. There are two broad categories of training that we all need to complete.

 

The First category of training is the Map Reading which consists of a series of videos and lessons that are between 1-2 minutes in length. This will build serve a basic understanding of how to read a map. We will build on this knowledge by adding more information during the Orienteering Training. This training needs to be done by the end of the month as we will start to compete in orienteering competitions soon.

 

The next category of training is the distance learning First Aid Lesson on the JROTC distance learning website. Enroll into the Raider Team Moodle site by clicking in the link below.
