Cadet Mason Brill-Meerdink with the Marquette University ROTC Program at Milwaukee talks about completing field training April 11, 2025, at Fort McCoy, Wis. Brill-Meerdink was with more than 70 other cadets from seven universities completing field training. ROTC training leaders said the training was a combined field training exercise. Senior ROTC schools from across Wisconsin as well as from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan came together to train on small unit tactics, troop leading procedures, and land navigation. This was the last large-scale training exercise for the third-year cadets prior to their formal assessment at Fort Knox, Ky., later in summer 2025. (U.S. Army Video by Scott T.
