FLRC COMMITTEE
Changes No significant changes over previous
years requiring a change in preparations. Minor
changes include Lane Evaluator will remain with
the squad throughout the day, rotating to each

assessed as overall Need Improvement receive a

the five paragraph field order. Being able to
quickly formulate a plan, assess whether it is
working and adjust it as needed. Other key is
maintaining control of your squad during
execution.

CONFIDENCE TRAINING

• Changes
• No significant changes were made over last year
• Keys to Success
• Teach them how to climb a rope before camp.
  Particularly those who have follow on training at
  AAS as they could be disqualified at camp when
  the committee does the verification checks
• ID weak and non swimmers- if necessary send in
  swim waiver request this may to prevent either a
  camp disenrollment board if they receive a
  "Refusal to Train" at either CWST or Water
  Confidence
• Have the schools explain leadership dimensions
  and how they add to a leaders or teams overall
  performance. It is not all about "Actions on the
  Objective
• Have cadets go to a confidence/obstacle course
  before camp to help over come fears of height
• Make sure every cadet has broken in the second
  pair of boots prior to camp 90 of our injuries
  on the site are from cadets whose feet are eaten
  up because they come from Land Nav to us via a
  3km road march and they have never worn the
  second pair
• Cadets need to ID previous injuries to committees
  that have high risk training learn before camp
  how to correctly stretch to prevent further
  injury while at training

1ST Aid Committee
Changes There are no significant changes to the
training conducted at 1st Aid. Keys to
Success The training at 1st Aid is designed to
provide familiarization training on a number of
Warrior Tasks and BOLC I tasks. There is no
formal evaluation process at the committee.
However, CPR is the task we use to track for
RECONDO. Last year we only had three Cadets
knocked out of RECONDO because of CPR. All three
chose not to use their notes during testing. -
Use your notes during evaluated events
