Institution:

Johnson & Wales University-North Miami

Subject:

Description:

This course builds upon the fundamentals introduced in the previous course by focusing on leadership theory and decision making. "Life skills" lessonsin this course include problem solving, critical thinking, leadership theory, followership, group interaction, goal setting and feedback mechanisms. This course additionally includes a Leadership Lab which will reinforce the lessons learned in the classroom. Upon completion of this course, cadets should be prepared to advance to more complex leadership instruction concerning the dynamics of organizations. This course is open to freshman and sophomore students. Prerequisite: MIL 101. 3 credits at Providence College (these credits will transfer to applicable JWU courses). Because Advanced Camp uses small-unit infantry tactics as the context for the development and assessment of leadership, MIL 300-level instruction uses the same context. While a measure of technical and tactical understanding of small-unit operations is necessary, the focus of the instruction is on leadership. Much of the application and assessment of MIL 300-level leadership instruction will be conducted using the Leadership Development Program (LDP) for out-of-class activities: leadership positions during labs and unit operations. Instruction in principles of war and purposes, fundamentals, and characteristics of the defense provide the necessary knowledge base for treatment of the Troop Leading Procedures (TLP). Instruction in the decision-making, planning, and execution processes of the TLP are followed by a refocus on the critical leadership task of communicating the plan using the Operations Order format. An Advanced Leadership module addresses motivational theory and techniques, the role and actions of leaders, and risk assessment. The semester closes with instruction in small-unit battle drills to facilitate practical application and further leader development during Lab and Squad Situational Training Exercises (STX). This course additionally includes a Leadership Lab which will reinforce the lessons learned in the classroom. Prerequisite: MIL 203. 3 credits at Providence College (these credits will transfer to applicable JWU courses).
