Hotel-2 and Delta Company Claim Victories at Annual Rook Drill Competition

Saturday, November 24th marked the annual Parent & Family Weekend Rook platoon drill competition hosted by the Regimental Drill Team. This year’s winners were Hotel Company, Second Platoon, claiming their second consecutive first-place finish; Foxtrot Company, Second Platoon, in second; and Delta Company, Second Platoon, in third. Overall, Delta Company had the highest average scores across its three platoons and was denoted as the “best marching unit”. Platoons are evaluated individually throughout the morning by members of the Regimental Drill Team, and it is one of the very few events where Rooks and Cadre are evaluated equally. Rooks are graded on their technical execution of basic marching drill, and their Platoon Sergeants on their ability to command, all in accordance with the standards of the Army Training Circular.
