CADET CHALLENGE EXPORTABLE TRAINING PROGRAM
The Cadet Challenge is the physical fitness test facilitated by the United States Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps for high school aged people. It provides an introduction to the necessary behavior required to achieve specific goals regarding your physical fitness. Prepare for the challenge by following specific steps that will allow you to improve your score, discover the benefits of exercise and discipline, and excel while competing in the JROTC Cadet Challenge.
Our Physical Training Program conducted at the Red Rebel Battalion Headquarters facility during school hours cannot adequately prepare you to excel on the Cadet Challenge. You must supplement our training at the school with your own program at home. When used correctly, The Red Rebel Cadet Challenge Exportable Training Program will prepare you to do your personal best on the Cadet Challenge.
