The University of Richmond ROTC cadets are preparing for an upcoming Field Training Exercise (FTX) at Fort Barfoot, Virginia. FTX is an immersive, hands-on training experience that allows cadets to apply military skills and leadership principles in a realistic field environment. During the exercise, cadets will put their training into practice through activities such as land navigation, tactical exercises, teamwork, and leadership development. The experience challenges cadets both physically and mentally while strengthening their ability to communicate, make decisions, and lead effectively in demanding situations.
Transformational gift will support the priorities of the Accelerate Richmond campaign, including a $50M matching fund for endowed scholarships.
