24th Battalion Commander C/Lieutenant Colonel Angela Eaton
Our Raider team continues to thrive, being the most popular team in our battalion. We uphold a positive environment that pushes cadets to improve and grow. The cadets in our Raider team are motivated, skilled, and athletic. It’s because of this our male and female raider team are state champions, our female raider team placed 4th place nationally for PTT and 5th place nationally for 5k during the 2023 raider national competition at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
The Drill team continues to dominate earning 1st place overall at the state championship and going on to compete nationally at the Golden bear competition in Anaheim, California. The cadets on the drill team are very disciplined and work hard to master the art of drill marching. Despite their affinity for drill they still are very familiar with fitness, with many cadets being on both the Drill and Raider teams simultaneously.
Our Rifle team is the most prestigious and well performing team in our battalion. The cadets on this team are pushed to do their absolute best in their academics. They practice a healthy lifestyle and stay away from sugary foods/drinks. All of this combined with their immense skill makes them some of the best shooters you will ever meet. Its no surprise these cadets are the #1 shooters in the western region (California to Colorado).
As in the past, the Cougar Battalion won’t let adversity slow down our progress. We’re confident in our abilities to overcome any obstacles we come across. We will continue to show our strength and outstanding character.
We are excited and working hard to constantly improve our character and our battalion to better ourselves for years to come. Semper Paratus!
