Operation WARRIOR FORGE Supplement Training Guide This booklet is designed to ‘supplement’ training in those tasks needing additional emphasis based on input and experience gathered from previous Warrior Forge Cadre and Staff. Furthermore, not only does the supplemental training addresses some of the requirements essential to complete Warrior Forge successfully, but it also addresses some skills important for survival on the battlefield (current war on terrorism). The information in this booklet is not all- inclusive; for further clarity and more information, consult the applicable field manuals and approved publications for complete reference. Remember the mission: “To commission the future officer leadership of the US Army and motivate young people to be better citizens.” The specific days the classes are to be taught are listed below and are reflected on the regimental training schedule.

Cadets can keep cell phones for the first two days but must give up their cell phones to the Regimental Chain-of-Command by Lights out on D2. This allows the Cadets to call home to family members and let them know they have arrived safely, and also ensures that the cell phones do not detract from training. ii.

Regimental Cadre will dictate hours of use, but the Cadets will not be allowed to use the cell phones during periods of Regimental training. iv.

Cadets that violate these policies may receive a negative spot report and or be dismissed from WF based upon an “Honor’s Violation”. b. Pay phone policy and hours, etc. i.

Regiments must balance this against training requirements, but all Cadets within the Regt must be allowed the same amount of time and consistency across Regts as well. 4 6. Explanation of the Red Cross and how parents can get in touch with the Cadets in case of an emergency. a. Parents can call the WF TOC 24 hours a day to informally notify the TOC of family emergencies. However, the family must also call the Red Cross so that emergency can be verified and go through the official channels. The Red Cross, in turn will get in contact with Fort Lewis, and the WF TOC. The WF TOC will notify the Cdr, CC, and the Regimental RTO. Regimental Chain-of-Command will brief the Cadet. They type of emergency will determine what Cadet actions will be taken. (Make certain that our host schools know this information as well). 7. Shoppette and pogey bait policy a. Training is the priority, but Regimental Cadre will not restrict Cadet use of the shoppette. b. Alcohol and Tobacco products are prohibited, but Regimental Cadre will not otherwise dictate what foods the Cadets may/may not buy from the Shoppette. c. Under no circumstance, will Cadets be allowed to eat inside the barracks. d.
