2021 Fall Combined Field Training Excercise
The 2021 Fall combined Field Training Exercise featured the Eastern Oregon University ROTC program participating with the University of Portland and Portland State University’s ROTC Program. Eastern Oregon Cadets participated in a variety of events including an air insertion utilizing Oregon National guard CH-47 Chinook helicopters. Other activities included familiarization and firing of the M240 Machine Gun, land navigation training, and participation in realistic military missions to assess and develop leadership skills. Eastern Oregon excelled and came away from the training exercise winning three awards out of the six possible, while only bringing nine cadets out of the sixty-seven total. Eastern Oregon University prides itself on exceeding the standard in physical fitness, leadership, and small unit tactics.
