MISSION: Alpha Company of the Fightin Blue Hen Battalion conducts an APFT at Harrington Turf NLT 210530OCT09 IOT assess individual physical readiness and prepare cadets for LDAC. 3. EXECUTION: Commander’s Intent: It is my intent that all cadets of the Fighting Blue Hen BN complete the APFT to the fullest of their potential with all cadets achieving a minimum passing score (60 pts. per event) with no injuries. Cadets will arrive, on time, properly

hydrated, in the proper uniform and the training site will be properly lit. The end state of this operation will be that everyone has given a 100% effort on the APFT and that all scores are tabulated and distributed on time. A. Concept of Operation: This operation will be conducted in three phases. a. Phase I: Operations order and preparation to conduct training b. Phase II: Execution of APFT c. Phase III: AAR, calculation of scores and clean-up 1. Maneuver: Phase I: Begins with the publishing of the OPORD to the company NLT 151700OCT09. C/CPT Smith will coordinate with the BN S4 to obtain all necessary equipment. C/1SG Lynch will gain accurate accountability of all cadets unable to attend the APFT during LEADLAB. Pushup and situp calibration will be done by MSIV graders to meet Army standards. C/1LT Swatski will confirm the two mile distance around the green. C/1LT Streckenbein will ensure lights will be on. Key personnel will arrive at BN NLT 0500 on the day of the event IOT set up APFT site and height weight station. MS IV’s not grading the APFT will remain at BN and conduct height weight measurements. This phase ends when all training areas are set up and key personnel are awaiting the arrival of cadets. Phase II: Begins with DSU Cadets leaving campus and arriving at University of Delaware. Alpha Co. cadets will arrive at BN NLT 0520 for formation and accountability. When cadets arrive at Battalion, they will move into the large classroom and pick up score cards from C/CPT Schellenger and C/1LT Conger. They will fill out proper information and move into the courtyard for formation. Delaware State cadets will conduct height and weight when they arrive so they can return to their school when the APFT ends. While waiting for formation, cadets will conduct informal stretching on their own. As soon as accountability is received, C/1SG Lynch will march the company over to the Harrington turf, where MS IV graders are waiting. After brief formal stretching, cadets will be instructed to conduct stretching on their own while C/MAJ Cochran reads the standards for completing each exercise and demonstrators show how to properly execute each exercise. MS I and II’s will evenly divide themselves among the MS IV graders while MS III’s, in lanes 1 and 2, will be graded by CPT Austin and MSG Kammer. Cadets will hand their cards to their PT graders for the remainder of the PT test. After the pushups and situps are conducted, C/1SG Lynch will march cadets over to the green to conduct the 2 mile run. After cadets finish the run, they will retrieve their PT card from their grader and move back to Battalion in buddy teams. C/CPT Smith will move back with the first cadets done. As cadets return to BN, they will move to the small classroom to get height and weight with C/CPT’s Carr and Schellenger and C/1LT Streckenbein. MS I’s will be frontloaded. Cadets that need to be taped will be notified and will wait for MSG Kammer or the reserve recruiter. DSU will be released upon completion of APFT and when they have full accountability. Otherwise, cadets will move to the courtyard and conduct informal stretching until all height weight measurements are complete. If height and weight measurements are not completed by 0730, MS I’s will be released and II’s and III’s will complete H-W. This phase ends when Alpha Company has full accountability, height weight is complete and I’s, II’s and III’s are dismissed. Alternate Plan: If the Harrington Turf is unusable, the BN courtyard and/or large

classroom will be used to conduct pushups and situps. If the two mile run route on the green is unusable, we will either move to Kells Park or use POV’s and, if possible, travel to Delaware Field House to use the indoor track. Phase III: Begins with MS III’s and MS IV’s conducting their own AAR’s of the event. AAR comments will be submitted to C/CPT Schellenger for future APFTs. PT cards will be taken into the computer lab where C/CPT Carr will input the scores into the computer. Copies of PT scores will be sent to C/CSM Arrington and to all cadre. This phase ends when all equipment is returned to the S4 and all areas are rearranged as they were before. B. Tasks to Maneuver Units: 1st PLT T: Develop highly motivational APFT soundtrack.
