UPRM Army ROTC - Bulldog Battalion

On March 7, a Battalion Lab focused on Warrior Skills was conducted to prepare MS3 cadets for CST. MS3s sharpened critical skills through hands-on practice, teamwork, and disciplined ex*****on in preparation for success at CST.

This past weekend, the MS3s were put to the test—completing Call for Fire evaluations, a land navigation written exam, practical land navigation, and a 12-mile ruck. Each challenge was designed to sharpen their skills, build endurance, and strengthen their knowledge as they prepare for the upcoming FTX at Camp Blanding. Stepping up, pushing limits, and developing as future leaders.

Last Thursday, our Ranger Challenge cadets and fellow MS3s took on the C.I. Ranger 17 Miller Ruck, showing true resilience, strength, and grit. Through every mile, they pushed past limits, stayed focused, and persevered as a team—proving that determination and discipline define our battalion. Proud of the heart and commitment you all brought to the ruck! 💪🇺🇸

This past weekend at JFTX with Taino Battalion, our cadets gave it their all—sharpening their land navigation skills and pushing through STX lanes as they prepare for 6th Brigade FTX at Camp Blanding. The grind never stops. 💪🇺🇸

Congratulations to our newly commissioned Second Lieutenants—your hard work, leadership, and commitment have earned this moment. Lead with honor and purpose. 🎖️

Congratulations to the Ranger Challenge Team from our Bulldog Battalion! Your effort, determination, resilience, discipline, and teamwork were evident every step of the way. You pushed through adversity, embraced the challenge, and represented the battalion with pride and professionalism. A special thank you to the cadre for their unwavering support, leadership, mentorship, and commitment to developing these cadets into stronger leaders. This success is a reflection of hard work, dedication, and shared excellence. 💪

Congratulations are truly well deserved🦾. After years of effort, discipline and commitment, our cadets have earned their branches. We could not be prouder. Their achievements reflect both their character and the standard they have upheld throughout their training. We are confident they will excel in their next assignments and continue to represent our program with honor and professionalism. Their journey is just beginning, and we look forward to seeing all they will accomplish🐶.

Last week, Bulldog BN wrapped up its FTX, and it felt like stepping into a full-scale proving ground. Cadets were pushed hard, not just to test what they learned in class, but to see who could stay sharp when things got tough🦾. The event kicked off with a land-navigation test that forced everyone to think fast and trust their skills. From there, they moved straight into day and night practical exercises that turned the terrain into a maze of pressure and problem-solving🗺️. Everything built up to the STX lanes, where squads had to pull together, stay calm under stress, and fight through every scenario🤝🏼. It was the kind of event that hit you with nerves, adrenaline, and a real sense of why the training matters🔥.

During October, Bulldog BN held the BN Lab, giving cadets their first real taste of a battalion-level event🔥. They rotated through different instructors and stations, tackling topics like land navigation, where they completed both a written exam and a practical test🗺️. They sharpened their PMI skills in the EST and took on the rappel tower, pushing past fears or enjoying the thrill of the drop💪🏼. They also moved through several walkthrough classes on key tactical tasks. Events like this do more than build skills😎. They help cadets experience new approaches to essential topics while forming stronger bonds with the teammates they’ll train alongside all year. 🤝🏼🐶
