Warrior Task Training

This Monday, 10 January 2011 at 2000 the Army Liaison Team will begin a series of classes teaching various Army Warrior Tasks. The initial classes will focus on familiarizing Midshipmen with the M16 series rifle which will include maintenance, function check, load/unload and correcting malfunctions; subsequently, we hope to culminate the training with a TM to the NYARNG Armory on Lexington Avenue in NYC to utilize the Engagement Skills Trainer (EST). The EST will allow you to simulate zeroing and qualifying with the M16 as well as perform as part of a squad during scenario based training simulations.


Monday’s class will be MAINTAIN an M16 RIFLE and will include: clearing the rifle; disassemble the rifle; clean, inspect and lubricate; assemble the rifle; and perform a function check.

All Midshipmen are welcome to attend the classes; however, space is limited. If you would like to attend please email us or stop by the office to have your name added to the sign-up sheet.

The location of the training is yet to be determined.
