There are 6 (Six) different teams cadets can join. These teams practice Monday through Thursday, and occasionally on Fridays before competition. Joining any of these teams can be very beneficial to the cadets and the JROTC program. We highly encourage any cadet to join and become a part of the Warrior Battalion Competition teams.
Armed Drill
The Armed Drill Team performs various routines with 1903 Springfield rifles. The armed drill routines involve both basic and fancy (exhibition) movements. The team competes with other schools from Texas and surrounding states. Dedication and hard-work are a must to be on this team. It's not as easy as it looks!
Unarmed Drill
The Unarmed Drill team focuses on precision drill movements. These cadets perform a basic drill routine and then perform in the exhibition phase where the cadets create their own moves and steps. Participation in the team requires dedication, focus and patience. Each of our competition teams participates in 5-7 drill meets each year.
Color Guard
The Color Guard is a 4-cadet team that consists of two rifle bearers and two flag bearers. It is usually divided into male, female, and co-ed teams, which participate in flag details for football games and other special occasions as well as drill competitions. During a competition the teams are given a list of commands to perform in sequential order within a specific drill area. They also participate in an inspection phase where their uniforms and basic cadet knowledge are evaluated.
Physical Training/Raiders Challenge
The Physical Training (P.T.)/Raiders Challenge team is just what it sounds like. The P.T./Raider Challenge is a high intensity competition that tests JROTC Cadets’ physical fitness and teamwork. It is made up of 4 of our battalion's most athletic cadets, and they perform in various events such as Push-Ups, Sit-Ups, Pull-Ups, Standing Broad Jump and a running event. The P.T./Raiders team is broken down into two categories; a male and a female team. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of exercise to stay in top shape and defeat other schools.
Orienteering
Orienteering is the sport of land navigation. You must navigate yourself through the wilderness to reach your destination point in a timely manner. Each participant is given a topographical map based on the skill level they choose, then they use their sense of direction to find the points listed and illustrated on the map. Time is a key factor in determining who places in the top three of various categories based on age and skill level.
Marksmanship
Marksmanship is a shooting precision team, that is also an Olympic sport, that shoots at a target 10 meters away from the three basic positions, prone, kneeling and standing. They use daisy air rifles and pellets to hit the target. The team consists of eight members, an A team and B team. It requires the best of the best shooters of the Warrior Battalion.
