What are the Core Graded Events at CST?

The Core Graded Events at CST include Land Navigation (Land NAV), Weapons Qualifications, Situational Training Exercises (STX Lanes), the Confidence Course, the Army Physical Fitness Test (AFT), and Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) training.

These events are designed to assess a cadet's proficiency in essential military skills as well as physical fitness. Land NAV is critical for developing navigation skills, Weapons Qualifications assess marksmanship and weapon handling, and STX Lanes provide cadets with realistic training scenarios to apply tactics and decision-making. The Confidence Course challenges physical and mental limits, while the AFT gauges physical readiness. CBRN training ensures cadets are equipped to respond to threats in those specialized areas, which are vital for operational readiness.

This combination of events ensures that cadets are well-rounded and prepared for various challenges they may face in their military careers.
