| Second-year
cadets of the Cadet Field Training Regiment’s 7th Company race to the far side of
Stillwell Lake after practicing capsize drills
Tuesday. The exercise also included simulated waterborne assaults in support of a
foot-bridge mission. CFT familiarizes and trains second-year cadets in small-unit tactics
and exposes them to the Army’s many diverse branches. The eight-week training
concludes August 9. The entire regiment, approximately 1,500 personnel and officers will
then run back to West Point’s central area. The group will follow Route 293 to 218
into Washington Gate with a finish expected by 8:30 a.m. The run may cause traffic delays
in these areas. Motorists should be cautious.
