MMA JROTC Raiders 2007-2008
What is Raiders? High Schools with JROTC
programs often put together "Raider Teams" to compete against other
schools, similar to other athletic programs. As best
described, Raider Competitions are an all-encompassing competition:
a test in physical strength, mental abilities, decision-making, and
will-power.
Typical
Raider events include: Physical fitness test (an individual
event consisting of push-ups, sit-ups and 2-mile run); First Aid and
Litter carry; One rope bridge (both the construction and tying of
knots and the total time for the team to cross the bridge); Obstacle
course, Rappelling, Land Navigation, Orienteering, Leader Reaction
course (team scenarios that require quick, innovative responses to
overcome an obstacle or complete a task); and all Raider events
culminate in a team 5km foot march.
