TASK ORGANIZATION:
I. SITUATION:
a. Enemy forces: None
b. Friendly forces: Fightin’ Texas Aggies, II. MISSION
a. The Corps of cadets will conduct their annual March to the Brazos on Saturday, 2 May 2009
III. EXECUTION-Commander’s intent: Safety is paramount. All cadets should take care of their feet and hydrate prior to step-off. COs and 1SGs need to ensure that their units are physically prepared for the march. Pass-down exercises should be motivating, good bull but should not hinder/ negatively contribute to any cadets’ return.
a. Concept of operation.- Each Major unit will depart at staggered times to duncan for chow, from the quad and from the beef center back to campus. This will ensure that there is no congestion throughout the march.
i. Maneuver: This operation will be conducted in 5 phases.
1. Phase 1: Chow
2. Phase 2: Step off
3. Phase 3: Arrival at beef center
4. Phase 4: Step off to Campus
5. Phase 5: Arrival at Campus
