The Marine Military Academy Speed March Reaction Course<\/b> was one of the first three courses built at the Academy The purpose of the reaction course<\/u> is to teach cadets how to work as a team and go through the proper steps in problem solving: identify the problem, determine the outcome expected, analyze your team\u2019s strengths and weaknesses and develop a plan to maximize those strengths and overcome the weaknesses and then supervise the execution.<\/p>\n The goal is to enhance teamwork among the team members and teach the proper problem solving skills that can be applied to any problem or task.\u00a0\u00a0 As expected, as cadets move from one problem to the next on the reaction course it becomes apparent that they understand the process, they begin working better as a team and their performance typically shows a marked To learn more about the Marine Military Academy visit our website at http:\/\/www.mma-tx.org<\/a> or request information at http:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/MMA\/admissions\/admissions_form2.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" LEAD Complex Speed March Reaction Course Maj Harold Compton The Marine Military Academy Speed March Reaction Course was one of the first three courses built at the Academy in 1999.\u00a0 The reaction\u00a0course is a series of team physical problems to solve.\u00a0 Cadets are divided into groups of 10-12 and assigned one of the problems.\u00a0 They […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-training-facilities"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12687,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361\/revisions\/12687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"reaction](\"http:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/lrc.jpg\" "\\"lrc\\"")
<\/a>in 1999.\u00a0 The reaction\u00a0course is a series of team physical problems to solve.\u00a0 Cadets are divided into groups of 10-12 and assigned one of the problems.\u00a0 They are then provided an explanation of what their objective is and provided additional items such as ropes, boards and pipes they may use in solving the problem.\u00a0 They are then given a short time to develop a solution and assign duties.\u00a0 They then have a specific time to solve the problem.\u00a0 As an
\nexample, one problem presents the team with a damaged bridge.\u00a0 The team may only touch the cross members
\nstill standing which are about 3 feet apart.\u00a0 They are provided a rope and two boards and must get their entire team
\nand two ammo boxes across the bridge in 10 minutes.\u00a0 All team members and the ammo cans must reach the far side without touching the side supports or the ground.<\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 Once the team reaches the end of their time period they take a few minutes to review their performance, what they did wrong and how they could have improved.\u00a0 They then move to the next problem on the reaction course<\/i>\u00a0and go through the same process.<\/p>\n
