CHAPTER 1
GUIDING VALUES, VISION, MISSION AND OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

1-1. Norwich University's Statement of Guiding Values. Norwich University was founded in 1819 by
Captain Alden Partridge, U.S. Army, and is the oldest private military college in the country. Norwich
University is a diversified academic institution that educates traditional age students in a Corps of Cadets or as
civilians, and adult students. Norwich identifies the following as our guiding values:

• We are men and women of honor and integrity. We shall not tolerate those who lie, cheat, or steal.
• We are dedicated to learning, emphasizing teamwork, leadership, creativity, and critical thinking.
• We respect the right to diverse points of view as a cornerstone of our democracy.
• We encourage service to nation and others before self.
• We stress being physically fit and drug free.
• To live the Norwich motto - I Will Try! - meaning perseverance in the face of adversity.
• We stress self-discipline, personal responsibility, and respect for law.
• We hold in the highest esteem our people and reputation.

1-2. Norwich University's Vision Statement. Norwich University will be a learning community, American in
character yet global in perspective, engaged in personal and intellectual transformation and dedicated to
knowledge, mutual respect, creativity and service.

1-3. Norwich University's Mission Statement – 1843 Catalogue. To give our youth an education that shall be
American in its character – to enable them to act as well as to think – to execute as well as to conceive – to
"tolerate all opinions when reason is left free to combat them" – to make moral, patriotic, efficient, and useful
citizens, and to qualify them for all those high responsibilities resting upon a citizen of this free republic.

1-4. The Corps Mission Statement. The Corps Mission Statement describes how the Corps of Cadets fulfils
its Purpose. The mission of the Corps of Cadets is to create a positive military learning environment to develop
the whole cadet - mentally, morally, academically, and physically - and to instill in each cadet, guiding values,
attributes and competencies essential for successful leadership upon graduation. These include: Values – honor,
integrity, loyalty, duty, mutual respect, selfless service, and personal responsibility. Attributes – desire, will,
initiative, self-discipline, self-confidence, perseverance, teamwork and judgment. Competencies – communicate
effectively; model wellness; teach and counsel; plan, decide and supervise; and act ethically.

1-5. The Corps Operational Philosophy describes how the Corps of Cadets accomplishes its Mission.
Leadership is both a science and an art that must be studied and practiced. The Leader Development Program
(LDP) of the Corps of Cadets is a four-year, progressive program based on a positive mutual-respect model of
leadership and not an adversarial model. Cadets are challenged and encouraged through positive instruction,
experiential learning, evaluation and counseling in positions of ever-increasing responsibility within a
culturally diverse and mixed-gender leadership environment to fully develop their leadership potential. Cadet
leaders are successful when they are competent in their academic major, are able physically to lead, and above
all, are ethically sound. Consequently, the Corps of Cadets program develops the "Whole Person" with the
ambitious goal of “Every Cadet a Scholar; Every Cadet an Athlete; Every Cadet a Moral Leader and Person."

1.-6. The Definition of Leadership at Norwich: "Leadership is influencing people by providing purpose,
direction, and motivation — while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization and its
people."

APPENDIX A
CORPS TABLE OF ORGANIZATION AND EQUIPMENT UNIT MANNING
AUTHORIZATIONS 2019

Purpose: The Table of Organization (TOE) identifies authorized positions. The Unit Manning Report (UMR) reflects
the assignment of actual cadets towards the TOE. Norwich University 2019, Strategic Plan, envisions a Corps of
Cadets with an end strength of 1250 cadets. The enclosed TOE provides the capability to add units or limit unit
assignment as enrollment increases or decreases. There is one Corps position authorized for each cadet. The UMR is
the Corps organizational document that authorizes cadet positions in all Regimental, Battalion, Company, Platoon and
Squad level units. When a cadet is assigned to a paragraph and line number of the UMR, he or she is authorized to wear
rank and carry out the duties and authorities of their assigned position.

UMR Design and Organization. The UMR is specifically organized to size Corps companies to fit the bed space of the
barracks on the Upper Parade (UP) ground and to fit the unique companies of the Corps, i.e... Band Co, Drill Team Co, etc.

The Cadet is asked to make two choices for duty position. The application also asks several questions about the
cadet's experience, leadership training, awards received and extracurricular activities. Many times, a cadet has
leadership experience in areas other than Corps positions that will qualify him for consideration by the Board. See
Appendix A-C, Corporal-Officer Duty Position Application Forms.

4-5. Cadet Leader Development Evaluations and Developmental Counseling's. Cadet officers and NCOs

Norwich University Corps of Cadets
Promotion System Chart

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 26


4-6. Creating the Promotion List.

a. All cadet duty position application forms are returned to Cadet Records. Cadet information from these
applications and other information are entered and compiled on a spreadsheet that becomes the Promotion List.
There is a separate one created for each class year. The list consists of cadet name, 1st and 2nd choice of duty
position, GPA, PT Score, and previous duty performance score categories.

b. Each category is then assigned points (GPA, cadet evaluations, PFT score, etc. is worth a maximum of 100
points. Example: GPA of 4.00 = 100 points GPA below 2.0 academic' eligibility = 0 points. The spreadsheet
calculates the total points earned, and determines the "order of merit" of each cadet.

4-7. Promotion Board Selections

a. The Deputy Commandant and his staff review the Promotion List to determine which cadets participate in a
promotion board process. The top 50-60 cadets are screened for the promotion board. If a cadet in the top group
has selected a position that does not require a board, or has not submitted a dream sheet, that cadet will not appear
before the board. It is not unusual for several of the top cadets to decline a board. The Promotion List is reviewed
for replacements for those who drop off the list. It is possible for cadets to be removed from the Promotion List
based on disciplinary status. Selected cadets are notified that they need to make an appointment to appear before
the Promotion Board.

b. The Officer Promotion Board consists of staff from the Commandant's Office, senior cadet officers selected
by the Regimental Commander, and University staff and faculty. The NCO Promotion Board consists of staff
from the Commandants Office, senior cadet NCO's selected by the Regimental Command Sergeant Major and
University staff and faculty. Cadets appear before the board and are evaluated on their appearance and
professionalism. Each cadet is asked questions by the board members. Questions cover Rules and Regulations,
Honor Code, ethical situations, policies and other topics.

c. The Board reviews the cadet's 201 file for a complete picture of the cadet's contribution to the Corps and
the University. Board members then grade each cadet on appearance, conduct, knowledge, leadership traits, etc.
The score sheets are tallied for each cadet and the average of these sheets becomes the cadet's board score. The
board score is added to the cadet's Promotion List total and a new cadet ranking is calculated. The leadership
positions are then filled based on this final promotion list ranking.

d. The files of the top three or four cadets are forwarded to the President. The President interviews these
cadets and selects the Regimental Commander.

e. The Deputy Commandant's staff selects:


Regimental Executive Officer Regimental Command
Sergeant Major
Battalion Commander Battalion Executive
Officer
Battalion Command– Sergeant Major/ Inspector General
Regimental Staff Majors Company Commander
Company Executive Officer Company First

4-8. Appointment, Promotion and Demotion. Refer to Chapter Eight of the NUCC SOP for the administrative
process and forms used to appoint, promote and/or demote a cadet. Refer to the Norwich University Student Rules
and Regulations to determine under what circumstances a cadet may be appointed to a duty position and rank, and
be promoted or demoted.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 27


4-9. Authorization Document. Rank and positions that make up the regiment are determined by the Office of
the Deputy Commandant with the publication of a Unit Manning Report (UMR). The UMR ensures that there is
one position authorized for each cadet rank. It matches a name with a rank and a position and becomes the
organization document for orders, which authorize cadets to wear rank and to act with the authority of a position.
See Appendix A to Chapter 3 to NUCC SOP.

4-10. Prohibition. No cadet may wear rank without orders. No orders will be published unless there is an
authorized position vacancy on the UMR.

CHAPTER 5
UNIFORMS AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE

PART 1 Uniform Appearance and Fit

5-1. Personal Appearance. General: The Norwich University Corps of Cadets is a disciplined organization

personal appearance. Therefore, a neat and well-groomed appearance by all cadets is fundamental to the Corps
and contributes to building pride and esprit essential to this organization. It is a responsibility of commanders to
ensure that cadets under their command present a neat and military appearance. Cadets must take pride in their
appearance in or out of uniform, on or off duty. Pride in appearance includes a cadet's physical fitness.

a. All cadets will maintain high standard of dress and appearance. Uniforms will be properly fitted. Trousers,
pants, shirts, or skirts will not fit tightly. All uniforms will be serviceable, clean, and pressed as necessary.
Norwich Cadets must project a military image that leaves no doubt that they live by a common Corps standard
and are responsible to military order and discipline.

b. Periodic clothing inspections will be held to ensure that all members of the NU Corps of Cadets have the
required number of uniforms and that all uniforms are properly fitted and serviceable. Cadets are required to
maintain the proper number of clothing items to meet all uniform classifications as well as serviceability and
personal hygiene.

c. Cadets will wear the prescribed Uniform of the Day (UOD) to daily formations, academic classes, final
exams, academic buildings, dining facility, on the Upper Parade Field (UP), between Reveille and Retreat on
weekends and as prescribed by the Deputy Commandant and Regimental Commander. Cadets are to refer to the

acceptable to wear with civilian clothes are listed in chapter 5, paragraph 5-16 of this SOP.

h. Cadets may remove headgear when sitting in bleachers viewing outdoor events. There is no other outside
area on campus, that a cadet will not wear headgear unless directed for training purposes.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 31


i. The proper wear of the uniform sets is described in this chapter. There are no exceptions.

5-2. Serviceability.

a. When an item of uniform apparel has become worn beyond practical repair, it must be replaced. Second
hand uniform items may be worn provided these items meet the prescribed uniform standards as established by the
Cadet Uniform Store. Small tailored repairs are acceptable, but missing buttons or uniform parts must be
replaced as soon as possible.

b. Cadet uniforms and articles of clothing will not be torn or mutilated and must be clean and free of non-
prescribed markings.

c. When not worn or being cleaned, uniform articles are to be hung on hangers and not tossed on the
barracks floor, bed, chair, etc.

5-3. Special Uniform Authorization (NUCC fm 8.9). NU Cadets are responsible for having uniforms altered
or, if necessary, for purchasing new ones as weight is gained or lost. Cadets who cannot be in the prescribed UOD
will report to their respective Assistant Commandant or the Senior Enlisted Advisor. Assistant Commandants and
the Senior Enlisted Advisor will decide if a Special Uniform Authorization Slip, (NUCC fm 8.9), will be granted
based upon the cadet's reason for lacking the proper uniform or need to not wear the prescribed UOD. Special
Uniform Authorization Slips, NUCC fm 8.9), may be granted to cadets when their uniforms are being tailored, for
practice teaching, interning, conducting clinicals, or official absences that preclude time to change. In rare cases,
a Special Uniform Authorization (NUCC fm 8.9), may be given for medical reasons. The Special Uniform
Authorization Slip, (NUCC fm 8.9), must be in the possession of the cadet at all times during the duty day.

Note: Special Uniform Authorization Slips are not authorized to cadets due to the mere fact that they are ill
or injured. Cadets that are granted Special Uniform Authorization slips due to injury are required to
attend Special Status (SS) Formations.

5-4. Civilian Attire. The civilian dress code at Norwich University is established to promote the values and
traditions upon which the University was founded. Dress and grooming standards promote decorum of a Norwich
student as they prepare to enter their chosen profession, graduate school, or for the workforce upon graduation.
When civilian clothes are authorized, the following will apply:

a. Cadets are expected to wear casual business attire and appropriate shoes in all academic buildings,
administrative buildings, and the Dining Facility.

b. Hats (to include visors, bandanas, skull caps or any headgear not authorized by a medical physician) are not
allowed in the administrative and academic buildings or in the Dining Facility at any time.

c. Wearing of any garment that contains alcohol or drug related logos or symbols, other logos, slogans or
sayings that contain profane or vulgar language is prohibited on the Norwich campus.

d. Bare feet are not allowed in any administrative or academic building, classrooms, Dining Facility, or the Mill.

e. Swimwear, sleepwear, pajamas, and PT clothing are not appropriate for wear in the Dining Facility or
classrooms and are prohibited.

arm and shoulder free to render the proper hand salute. Book bags and briefcases will be black or olive drab in color
and may include service emblem.

PART 2. Personal Inspections and Appearance.


ALL CADETS WILL COMPLY WITH THESE STANDARDS. (Army Reg 670-1, 2003)

5-6. Hair, Cosmetics, and fingernail standards and grooming policies.

a. Hair.
(1) General. The requirements for hair grooming standards are necessary to maintain uniformity within the Corps
population. Many hairstyles are acceptable, as long as they are neat and conservative. Therefore, it is the
responsibility of leaders at all levels to exercise good judgment in the enforcement of this SOP. All cadets will
comply with these standards.

a) Hairstyles must allow headgear to fit snugly and comfortably, without distortion of the
headgear. Hairstyles that do not allow cadets to wear headgear properly are prohibited.

b) Extreme, eccentric, or trendy haircuts or hairstyles are unauthorized. If cadets use dye, tints, or bleaches,
they must choose those that result in natural hair color. Colors that detract from a professional military
appearance are prohibited. Therefore, cadets will avoid using colors that result in an extreme appearance.
Applied hair colors that are prohibited include, but are not limited to, purple, blue, pink, green, orange, bright
red, and fluorescent or neon colors.

(c) Cadets who have a texture of hair that does not part naturally may cut a part into the hair. The part will be
one straight line, not slanted or curved, and will fall in the area where the cadet would normally part hair.
Cadets will not cut designs into the hair or scalp.

(2) Male haircuts will conform to the following standards.


a) The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive
or present a ragged, unkept, or extreme appearance. The hair must present a tapered appearance. A tapered
appearance is one where the outline of the cadet's hair conforms to the shape of the head, curving inward to the
natural termination point at the base of the neck. When the hair is combed, it will not fall over the ears or
eyebrows, or touch the collar, except for the closely cut hair at the back of the neck. The block-cut
fullness in the back is permitted to a moderate degree, as long as the tapered look is maintained. Males are not
authorized to wear braids, cornrows, or dreadlocks (unkept, twisted, matted, individual parts of hair) while in
uniform or in civilian clothes on duty. Hair that is clipped closely or shaved to the scalp is authorized.
b) Males will keep sideburns neatly trimmed. Sideburns may not be flared; the base of the sideburn will be
a clean-shaven, horizontal line. Sideburns will not extend below the lowest part of the exterior ear opening.
c) Males will keep their face clean-shaven when in uniform or in civilian clothing on duty. If appropriate
medical authority prescribes beard growth, the length required for medical treatment must be specified. For
example, "The length of the beard will not exceed 1/4 inch." Cadets will keep the growth trimmed to the
level specified by appropriate medical authority, but they are not authorized to shape the growth into goatees,
or "FU-Manchu" or handlebar mustaches.

(3) Female haircuts will conform to the following standards.

a) Females will ensure their hair is neatly groomed, that the length and bulk are not excessive, and that the
hair does not present a ragged, unkept, or extreme appearance. Likewise, trendy styles that result in shaved
portions of the scalp (other than the neckline) or designs cut into the hair are prohibited. Females may wear

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 33


braids and cornrows as long as the braided style is conservative, the braids and cornrows lie snugly on the
head. Dreadlocks (unkept, twisted, matted individual parts of hair) are prohibited in uniform or civilian
clothes on duty. Hair will not fall over the eyebrows or extend below the bottom edge of the collar at any
time during normal activity or when standing in formation. Long hair that falls naturally below the
bottom of the collar, to include braids, will be neatly and inconspicuously fastened or pinned, so no free-
hanging hair is visible. This includes styles worn with the physical fitness uniform.

b) Styles that are lopsided or distinctly unbalanced are prohibited. Ponytails, pigtails, or braids that are
secured to the head (allowing hair to hang freely), widely spaced • individual hanging locks, and other
extreme styles that protrude from the head are prohibited. Extensions, weaves, wigs, and hairpieces are
authorized: however, these additions must have the same general appearance as the individual's natural hair.
Additionally, any wigs, extensions, hairpieces, or weaves must comply with the grooming standards already
stated.

c) Females will ensure that hairstyles do not interfere with proper wear of headgear. When headgear is worn,
the hair will not extend below the bottom edge of the front of the headgear, nor will it extend below the bottom
edge of the collar.

d) Hair holding devices are authorized only for the purpose of securing hair. Female cadets will not place
hair-holding devices in the hair for decorative purposes. All hair holding devices must be plain and of a color
as close to the cadet's hair color as possible or clear. Authorized devices include small, plain scrunchies,
barrettes, combs, pins, clips, rubber bands, and hair bands. Devices that are conspicuous, excessive, or
decorative are prohibited. Prohibited devices include, but are not limited to, large, lacy scrunchies; beads,
bows, or claw clips; clips, pins, or barrettes with butterflies, flowers, sparkles, gems, or scalloped edges; and
bows made from hairpieces.

b. Cosmetics.

(1) General. As with hairstyles, the requirement for standards regarding cosmetics is necessary to maintain
uniformity and to avoid an extreme or unmilitary appearance. Males are prohibited from wearing cosmetics, to
include finger nail polish. Females are authorized to wear cosmetics with all uniforms, provided they are
applied conservatively and in good taste and compliment the uniform. Leaders at all levels must exercise
good judgment in enforcement of this standard.

(2) Females may wear cosmetics if they are conservative and compliment the uniform and their complexion.
Eccentric, exaggerated, or trendy cosmetic styles and colors, to include makeup designed to cover up tattoos, are
inappropriate with the uniform and are prohibited. Permanent makeup, such as eyebrow or eyeliner, is authorized
as long as the makeup conforms to the standard outlined above.

(3) Females will not wear shades of lipstick and nail polish that distinctly contrast with their complexion, that
detract from the uniform, or that are extreme. Examples of extreme colors are, but are not limited to, purple, gold,
blue, black, white, bright red, khaki, camouflage colors and fluorescent colors. Female cadets will not apply
designs to nails or apply two-tone or multi-tone colors to nails.

(4) Females will comply with the cosmetics policy while in uniform or while in civilian clothes on duty.

c. Fingernails. All personnel will keep fingernails clean and neatly trimmed. Males will keep nails trimmed so as
not to extend beyond the fingertips. Females will not exceed a nail length of inch, as measured from the tip of the
finger. Females will trim nails shorter if the commander determines that the longer length detracts from the
military image.

d. Hygiene and body grooming. Cadets will maintain good personal hygiene and grooming on a daily basis and

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 34


wear the uniform so as not to detract from their overall military appearance.

5-7 Wear of Jewelry.

a. Cadets may wear a wristwatch, a wrist medical alert identification bracelet, and a total of 2 rings in any cadet
uniform. Any jewelry cadets wear must be conservative and in good taste. Identification bracelets are limited to
medical alert bracelets and MIA/POW identification bracelets. Cadets may only wear one item on each wrist.
Bracelets made of parachute cord; strings, rubber bands, etc. are strictly prohibited.

b. No jewelry, other than described in the paragraph above, will appear exposed while wearing any uniform; this
includes watch chains, or similar items, and pens and pencils. The only authorized exceptions are religious items
worn on a conservative chain around the neck and a conservative tie tack worn with the black four-in-hand
necktie.
c. Body piercing. When on campus or other places on official duty, cadets (males included) may not
attach, affix, or display objects, articles, jewelry, or ornamentation to or through the skin while they are in
uniform, in civilian clothes on duty, or in civilian clothes off duty.

NOTE: This includes nipple, ear, belly button, and tongue rings. The only exception is for female cadets
as indicated in the paragraph below.

d. Females are authorized to wear prescribed earrings with the Class A Blue Coatee, Class A Gray Tunic,
and Class B Winter/Summer uniforms.
(1) Earrings may be screw-on, clip-on, or post-type earrings, in gold, silver, white pearl, or diamond. The
earrings will not exceed 6mm or inch in diameter, and they must be unadorned and spherical. When worn, the
earrings will fit snugly against the ear. Females may wear earrings only as a matched pair, with only one
earring per ear lobe.
(2) Females are not authorized to wear earrings with any Class C (BDU), or NU physical fitness
uniform.
(3) When on duty in civilian attire, female cadets must comply with the standards stated above when wearing
earrings. When females are off duty, there are no restrictions on the wear of earrings.

e. Ankle Bracelets, necklaces (other than conservative religious symbols), faddish trendy devices medallions,
amulets, and personal talismans or icons are not authorized for wear in any cadet uniform, or in civilian clothes
while on duty.

5-8 Wear of Eyeglasses, Sunglasses, and Contact Lenses.

a. Wear of eyeglasses and sunglasses.


(1) Conservative prescription eyeglasses are authorized to wear with all cadet uniforms.
(2) Conservative prescription and nonprescription sunglasses are authorized for wear when in a garrison
environment, except when in formation and while indoors. Individuals who are required by medical authority
to wear sunglasses for medical reasons other than refractive error may wear them, except when health or safety
considerations apply.
(3) Restrictions on eyeglasses and sunglasses. Eyeglasses and sunglasses that are trendy, or have lenses or
frames with initials, designs, or other adornments are not authorized for wear. Cadets may not wear lenses
with extreme or trendy colors, which include but are not limited to, red, yellow, blue, purple, bright
green, or orange. Lens colors must be traditional gray, brown, or dark green shades. Cadets will not
attach chains, bands, or ribbons to eyeglasses. Eyeglass restraints are authorized only when required for safety

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 35


purposes. Cadets will not hang eyeglasses/sunglasses on the uniform, and may not let eyeglass/sunglass

b. Restrictions on Contact Lenses. Tinted or colored contact lenses are not authorized for wear with the uniform.

than the bottom of the side pocket on the trousers. The trousers will be worn bloused using the drawstrings or
blousing bands, or tucked neatly into the tops of the boot. Trouser legs will not be wrapped around the leg so
tight as to present a pegged appearance. When sleeves are worn rolled up, the camouflage pattern will remain
exposed. During the warmer fall and late spring season, the sleeves will be rolled neatly above the elbow but no
more than 3 inches above the elbow. During the colder winter season, the sleeves will be worn down completely,
ironed and creased, and buttoned at the wrist. The brown undershirt, brown "poly pro" long underwear, and
brown wool sweater are the only authorized items worn with the BDU unless specified by the Regimental
Commander or the Commandant's Office. This decision will be based upon weather conditions.

c. A commander may require uniforms to be pressed for those occasions when appearance must be especially
sharp such as inspections or other ceremonial occasions. During such times, commanders may require all
personnel to wear sleeves rolled up or down for uniformity. Training in hot weather may require the BDU coat to be
removed and/or trousers unbloused. The BDU coat may not be removed outside of the barracks except for
training or work detail purposes.

performance and service. Awards are important symbols of public recognition for rewarding exceptionally
meritorious service, or outstanding achievement and other acts or services which are above and beyond that
normally expected and which distinguish an individual or unit among those performing similar acts or services.
Principles of Support.
The cadet Awards System will:

CHAPTER 7
SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT

7-1. References.
a. Army Pamphlet 385-1, Small Unit Safety Officer Guide, dated 29 November 2001
b. FM 101-5, Annex J, Risk Management, dated May 1997.
c. FM 3-100.12, Risk Management, dated February 2001.

7-2. Purpose. Establish Corp safety procedures and responsibilities and ensure they are used by cadet leaders to
plan and conduct safe training and operations.

7-3. Scope. This SOP applies to all cadets in the Corps who are responsible to conduct individual or unit
training or operations sanctioned by the Deputy Commandant.

7-4. Concept of Operations. Safety is a command responsibility that must be considered in the planning and
execution of all Corps training and operations. Risk management is a helps leaders make sound decisions in a
logical manner. Used in a positive command climate, risk management enables decision m a k e r s a t a l l l e v e l s
to do exactly what the term says: manage risk! Safety risk management is a specific type of risk management.
Our efforts are directed toward how safety risk management fits into the leader's tool bag: In theory, risk
management is a five-step process that is easily integrated into the planning/decision-making model. Rather than
advocate safety risk management as a separate consideration, this approach describes it as a process that leaders
understand and use instinctively during event planning and again during execution. The higher the risk involved
with training and an operation, the higher the command approval of the risk mitigation procedures must be. This
ensures an objective evaluation of the risk mitigation. Command approval of acceptable level of risk is shown
in Fig 7.1 below:

a. Integrate risk management into planning stages. It must be the basis for decision-making, not an
afterthought or appendage. Deliberate planning, taking into account all risks, options, and feasible controls, helps
the leader avoid improvised operations. Early integration is particularly important in the design and selection of
procedures, equipment, or facilities, because it prevents expensive reengineering.
b. Accept no unnecessary risks. The leader who has authority to accept a risk has the responsibility to
protect the workforce from unnecessary risks. An unnecessary risk is one that, if eliminated, still allows
accomplishment of the organization's mission.
c. Make risk decisions at the proper level. That's normally the lowest level consistent with resources,
authority, and capability. The credible consequences of a course of action determine who should assume
responsibility. When first-line supervisors accept risks that could have catastrophic outcomes, proper control is
lost.
d. Only accept risks if the benefits outweigh the costs. When a decision is called for, use risk management to
determine the best course of action. It is critical to weigh all the real costs, including long-term effects and legal
impact, when making a decision.

7-7. Safety and Risk Management Process.


a. Step 1 - DENTIFY RISKS. Step one in applied risk management is to identify hazards. Hazards are any
conditions with the potential to cause damage or injury, or decrease your ability to perform your mission. All
hazards should be identified before starting a new task, Figure 7.2 below:

Figure 7.2 — Determine which risk hazards to manage. Adequate


Support — Is support available (personnel, facilities, Yes No
equipment, supplies) and adequate to control the hazard?
Standards — Is guidance or procedure adequately clear,
practical and specific to control hazard?
Identified Training — Is training adequate to control hazard?
METT-T Leader — Are leaders ready, willing, and able to enforce
Hazard standards required to control hazard?
Individual — Is cadet performance sufficiently self-
disciplined to control hazard?

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 82


b. Step 2 - ASSESS HAZARDS. Step two is to assess the hazards to determine their cumulative effect on the
planned activity, See Figure 7.3 below. Each hazard is analyzed to determine the probability of its causing a
problem and the severity of the consequences should such a problem occur. Exercising judgment on how to
eliminate or reduce hazards to lessen the overall risk is inherent in the risk assessment process. This step
concludes with a risk assessment that describes the impact of the combined hazards. The result is a statement that
qualifies the risk associated with the operation/mission as high, medium, or low. Historical data shows that back
injuries are common and costs are inherently high.

Figure 7.3 — Individual Hazard Assessment Matrix.


Hazard Probability*
*** > Frequent Likely Occasional Seldom Unlikely
Catastrophic E E H H M
Critical E H H M L
**Severity Marginal H M M L L
Negligible M L L L L

*Hazard Probability — The likelihood that an event will occur.


• Frequent — Occurs often, continuously experienced.
• Likely — Occurs several times.
• Occasionally — Occurs sporadically.
• Seldom — Unlikely, but can occur at some time.
• Unlikely — Can assume it will not occur.

**Hazard Severity — The degree of injury, property damage or other impairing factors.
• Catastrophic — Death or permanent total disability can occur, major system loss or major property
damage.
• Critical - Permanent partial disability, temporary total disability can occur, major system damage or
minor property damage.
• Marginal — Minor injury, lost of class time due to injury, minor system damage, and minor property
damage.
• Negligible — First aid or minor medical treatment required, minor system impairment.

*** Risk Levels —


• E — Extremely high — Loss of ability to continue attending classes if accident occurs.
• H — High — Significant degrades ability to attend classes if accident occurs.
• M — Moderate - Minor degradation but student able to attend classes if accident occurs.
• L — Low — Little or no impact on attending classes if accident occurs.

c. Step 3 - MAKE RISK DECISIONS. Step three is to make a risk decision. Leaders weigh the risk
against the benefits of performing an operation. Unnecessary risk can endanger mission accomplishment
and subject employees to unnecessary risk of accidents and injuries. Risk decisions are made at a level
of management that corresponds to the degree of risk. Guidance should be established clearly stating
who makes which risk decisions. For example, low risk decisions may be made by immediate
supervisor, medium risk decision by middle management (activity/unit), and high risk decisions by top
management (directors/Command Staff). The Commander may elect to have some decisions made at
lower levels of management.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 83


d. Step 4 - IMPLEMENT CONTROLS. Step four is to implement the controls established as a result
of steps one through three. Included in this step is leader action to reduce or eliminate hazards. Controls
may be as substantial as writing an SOP or as simple as conducting a short safety briefing.

e. Step 5 - SUPERVISE. Step five is to supervise. Supervision in this sense goes beyond ensuring
that people do what is expected of them. It includes following up during and after an action to ensure
that all went according to plan, reevaluating the plan or making adjustments to accommodate
unforeseen issues, and incorporating lessons learned for future use.

7-8. Leaders need to think in terms of recognizing hazards even in the midst of carrying out
changing tasks. Hazards can be identified and minimized so even risky operations can be
completed without exposing workers to needless injuries.

CHAPTER 8
CADET ADMINISTRATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY

8-1. References.
• Norwich University Academic Regulations
• Norwich University Cadet Handbook.
• Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations.
• FM 101-5, Staff Organization and Operations.
• TC 12-17, Adjutant's Call, The Sl Handbook
8-2. General. Participation in the Corps of Cadets implies and requires attendance at scheduled training
and activities. Cadets are expected to be present for all Corps of Cadets Training, Service Specific ROTC
Training, and academic classes unless authorized to be absent. Authorized absences include: Special Service
(SS), Detached Service (DS), and Authorized Leave. Leaders must account for their assigned cadets, and
accurately report their duty status. Leaders ensure administrative actions are completed in accordance
with enclosed guidance and corrective actions are taken as necessary.
8-3. Table of Organization and Equipment (TOE) and Unit Manning Report (UMR).
The TOE and UMR are the authorization documents for the NUCC. These documents, as outlined in Chapter 3,
define NUCC organizations. The TOE provides the authorization. The UMR identifies the cadet assigned to a
specific position. Together they provide the means to account for cadets. No cadet may add positions to the
NUCC TOE. If cadet leaders see the need to modify the TOE, cadets should recommend changes thru the
Regimental S3 to the Deputy Commandant. The Commandant's Office will assign cadet leaders to the UMR
weighing cadet potential, demonstrated performance, leadership development, and cadet request. Commanders
may not assign cadets where positions do not exist nor can any two cadets occupy the same position. It is
conceivable that not all positions will be filled at any given time. Each commander will receive his/her UMR
during Cadet Leaders' Week. Changing an individual cadet assignment requires approval by the Deputy
Commandant.
8-4. Duty. The word "duty" has many meanings in a cadet's life. Doing one's duty to the best of one's ability is
the first requirement. This definition supports our motto: "I will try." Duty requires a willingness to accept
responsibility for the actions of one's self and those of one's subordinates. Cadets are required to perform a
number of duties in support of Norwich University and the Corps of Cadets. Some duties are assigned. Others are
integral responsibilities of leaders and individual cadets. Every cadet's first duty is to attend classes and pursue
academic excellence. Each cadet is reminded that he/she has a personal responsibility to keep his/her chain of
command informed as to his or her whereabouts. On occasion a family member, professor, or student leader
needs to contact a cadet and pass critical information. It is imperative that University Officials are able to locate
and disseminate emergency information. Communication is the key. The cadet door card must be maintained and
accurately reflect the student’s location. Likewise, cadets are encouraged to leave voice, email and telephonic
messages, and must follow the appropriate Leave and Pass procedures in order to meet obligations to inform
others as to their whereabouts. This procedure is designed to aid the individual cadet.
a. A cadet may not depart on leave or pass or otherwise be absent from the university if he or she has a duty
or obligation unless specifically authorized or properly relieved of the duty by proper authority.
b. A cadet who must depart on Emergency Leave or other specifically authorized absence and who is
scheduled for duty must notify his or her 1SG to ensure that the duty is reassigned. The departing cadet is
rescheduled for duty upon his or her return to the University.
c. Cadets in the performance of their assigned guard detail or other special duty have the authority to issue
orders to all other cadets as necessary to accomplish their duty.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 90


8-5. Training and Mandatory Formations
a. Requirements. Cadets are required to attend all academic classes, Corps training, and mandatory
formations unless on official absence, leave, or detached service. The only person that has the authority to
excuse an individual from the Corps training/formation is the person who ordered the training/formation. For
example, if the Commandant orders the formation, only he/she can authorize an absence. The training schedule
will identify the level of command responsible for training or mandatory formations. The act of simply
informing one's chain of command that he/she has other matters to attend to rather than participating in the
scheduled Corps training/formation does not constitute an approved absence. Such behavior would be
considered absence without leave and subject to disciplinary action.
b. Examples. The following Corps training/formations are mandatory:
1) Command Reveille
2) Physical Fitness Training
3) Command Muster
4) Tuesday Afternoon Training/Inspection
5) Command Retreat (as announced/scheduled)
6) Official Parades, March Downs, and Ceremonies/Training
7) Guest Speakers
8) Commander's/Sergeant's Time
9) Guard Duty
10) Weapons Issue/turn-in
11) Tour Formation or work detail (required for cadets with outstanding tours)
12) Weekday or weekend training or inspections as scheduled
13) Meetings and formations called by the President, Commandant, or Regimental
Commander
c. Company Formation. Any time the company is formed, the 1SG is in charge of initiating the formation for
the commander. This includes Regimental, Battalion, and Company formations. The following tips are provided
to aide the 1SG:
(1) "Fall In" – During Regimental formations the first bugle calls are "Assembly" and "Attention." Once
"Attention" is sounded, control of the actions reverts to the Adjutant and subsequently the Regimental
Commander. Therefore, the 1SG's time to influence action is the time from sounding "Assembly" until the
Adjutant directs, "sound attention.” The 1SG orders the company to “Fall in" and insists that all cadets do
so at the position of attention.
(2) "Receive the Report" – The 1SG directs the Platoon Sergeants (PSG) to "Receive the Report". This is
required at all formations and forms the basis for accomplishing personnel accountability. The PSGs echo
the command to their respective squad/team leaders. The squad leaders collect attendance from the team
leaders and when ordered to "Report" by the PSG, render the number of cadets absent from the formation.
NOTE – Squad leaders only report numbers absent, not the reasons or excuses. After the PSG receives the
numbers absent, the PSG reports the consolidated absences to the 1SG. Do not allow a clerk to wander
through the formation taking attendance on a clipboard. This practice is contrary to procedure and
abdicates squad leaders' responsibility for accountability.
(3)"Stand at ease" – If time permits, the 1SG directs the company "Stand at Ease". This is one of the few
times the company is together. Since communications is the 1SG's principle responsibility, this is his/her
opportunity to make administrative announcements. Remember, the 1SG must be prepared to turn the
company over to the commander after "Attention" is sounded. Therefore the 1SG must prioritize his or her
announcements and make them in descending order.
(4)"Post" - Once attention is sounded, the 1SG calls the company to attention. The Commander will move to
assume his/her post, using most direct route possible. Once the commander has halted at his/her post, the
1SG salutes and reports, "All present" or "(so many) cadets absent." The commander returns the salute and
commands, "Post". The 1SG faces about and marches to his/her post three steps to the rear and center of the

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 91


company, halts, and faces about. The guidon bearer steps forward three steps. The Platoon Sergeants face to
the right in marching and assume their posts to the rear of their platoons. The Platoon leaders march around
the left flank of their platoons and assume their posts by inclining and halting. The XO assumes his/her post
two steps to the rear of the 1SG.
d. Other formations. Formations are used to command and control organizations. Therefore, anyone in charge
of a unit can direct a meeting or formation. A squad leader might call a meeting of all assigned squad members and
all would be expected to attend. If individual cadets fail to attend, the squad leader may refer unexcused cadets
for appropriate discipline. Likewise, the squad leader has the authority to excuse an assigned squad member from
his/her meeting. As a matter of discipline and professional courtesy, subordinates do not call formations which
conflict with those of superiors.
e. Accountability/Strength Reporting. Leaders take attendance at all formations and report status through
command channels using squad, platoon, company, and battalion attendance forms in accordance with report
formats and procedures outlined in this chapter, paragraph 8-8.

8-6. Leaves and Passes. Cadets are encouraged to use leaves and passes. Commanders may authorize ordinary
leave consistent with mission requirements and in accordance with provisions outlined in Norwich University
Student Rules and Regulations. Block Leave will be in effect during time periods that the University is closed
(e.g., Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, and Summer vacation). Cadets are not required to request leave
during block leave. Passes (local liberty) are not a right to which one is entitled. Passes are a privilege awarded
to deserving cadets. Regular pass period will not exceed 12 hours except for holiday periods specifically
extended by the President of Norwich University. Regular pass begins at the end of the working day and ends at
the first formation the next duty day.

8-7. Medical Services. NU contracts medical services through the Green Mountain Family Practice. The
Campus infirmary (x2552) is available 0700-2300 hours daily.
a. If a cadet is not feeling well and desires to seek medical attention, the Cadet must inform his/her
immediate supervisor and report to sick call.
b. During after duty hours, if a cadet is ill and needs immediate medical attention (e.g., acute pain or
vomiting), the individual cadet or Chain of Command shall notify the Regimental Duty Officer (RDO)
(x2589), or Campus Security (x2525) who in turn will contact the infirmary. If the doctor feels it is necessary
to see the cadet, the RDO, or Security Officer will accompany the cadet to the infirmary and stand by until the
physician makes an evaluation and determination as to whether to return the cadet to duty or ordered him or her
to infirmary or hospital.
c. If a cadet experiences a potentially life threatening medical condition, the observer first will
contact NU Security (x2525), who will contact Emergency Medical Services immediately. Northfield
Ambulance monitors extension 2525. Do not call 911 (Campus Security will contact). Observers must
remain with the injured/sick cadet, render appropriate first aid (subject to skills/knowledge) until
competent medical authority arrives and assumes control, and (as soon as situation permits) complete
a Cadet Accident Report Form, NUCC Form 85.
d. Classification/Triage. The contracted physician or senior medical staff member on duty will classify
(triage) sick students in to one of the following categories:
1. Infirmary or hospital — cadet restricted to the infirmary or hospital
2. Quarters — cadet restricted to quarters; will not attend formations, training, or classes
3. Special Status 1 (SS1) – Must attend class; excused from company formations but required to participate
in SS formation (adjacent Code Flags on UP); required to comply with sick slip instructions and report to
sick call IAW sick slip instructions.
4. Special Status 2 (SS2) — Must attend classes and company formations. Must comply with sick slip

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 92


instructions and will report to sick call as prescribed by physician
5. Return to duty — cadet cleared by physician to resume all training; sick slip accounts for cadet absence
only for that time period attending sick call.
e. All cadets are responsible for seeking competent medical authority if and when they are sick. Being sick
in itself is not an authorized absence from class or formation. A cadet will be considered APOD until
personally excused by his/her commander. Commanders will honor directives from competent medical
authority excusing or limiting cadet participation from training. If issued a sick slip, the cadet must carry his or
her sick slip as evidence of excused absence.
f. Cadets ordered to return to duty will report to class or duty within ten minutes following dismissal from
Sick Call. Cadets who have been patients in the infirmary will be allowed 30 minutes from the time of
discharge to report to class/duty in order to allow time to stop at room and obtain necessary materials/uniform.
g.
The Infirmary will complete a Sick Slip, NUCC Form 8.7, and provide the pink copy to the individual; the
white copy to Jackman Hall, Room 213, Housing/Cadet Records' Office; and retain the yellow copy. Effective
SY 2003-2004, the infirmary retains the yellow copy as a means to flag nurses to frequent or habitual sick call
attendance. This practice is not intended to code or label students but instead cause health professionals to
evaluate patients for chronic or systemic issues. It is the responsibility of each cadet to inform his/her 1 SG/CO
of his or her return to duty.
h. The Special Status Report, NUCC Form 8.8, is updated daily at 1600 hours and published weekly at
Command and Staff. The S l Section Clerk retrieves sick slips from the infirmary daily at1200 hours and
prepares the Special Status Report to include: unit, name, class, date reported, date expires, profile/limitations,
uniform. Upon update, the S l Section Clerk will photocopy the SS Report Form and distribute it to each
respective unit box.
8-8. Admin Forms, Frequency, and Distribution. The purpose of this section is to familiarize cadets with the
common administrative/accountability system the NUCC employs to account for cadets and complete routine
personnel administrative actions. Select sample forms are enclosed. Cadets must be familiar with these forms
and leaders must enforce their use and distribution.
a. Application for Leave, NUCC Form 8.1. The Leave Form must be completed properly to protect the
individual departing campus on leave/pass as well as to assist the chain of command in maintaining personnel
accountability. (See Appendix A).
b. Administrative Action Form, NUCC Form 8.2. This form is used to request administrative actions (e.g.,
room changes, promotions, duty assignment, etc). Changes may occur only after the request is approved through
proper channels. Administrative actions are generated by the Company 1SG and routed thru command channels.
(See Appendix B).
c. Unit Accountability Report, NUCC Form 8.3. This form is used to record unit strength and document
absences. Daily reports originate at squad level and are forwarded and consolidated through respective command
levels [squad, platoon, company, battalion, and regiment]. (See Appendix C)
1) Squad/Platoon Reports shall be completed as of the "report" at each formation and will list all cadets
absent and include the reasons for their absence. Platoon reports will be submitted to the Company 1SG no
later than 15 minutes after the formation.
2) Company consolidated strength /absentee report. The 1SG will consolidate the company report and
indicate all absent cadets, the actual status, if known, or their suspected whereabouts. The 1SG will obtain the
Commander's signature. Company reports will then be submitted to Battalion HQ NLT one hour after the
formation.
3) Battalion Consolidated Strength Report. The Battalion Executive Officer or his designated staff will
consolidate the Battalion report, obtain the Commander's signature, and submit the consolidated strength report
to the Regimental S l NLT 1900 hours the same day as the report. The report will be delivered to the S1 box in
the Guard Room.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 93


d. Personnel Status Report (PERSTAT), NUCC Form 8.4. The PERSTAT is used to report the personnel
strength for the Regiment. Information for this report is taken from daily strength reports, battle rosters, and spot
loss reports. The Regimental S l will prepare a consolidated report; sign for the commander and submit it to the
Commandant's Office (ATTN: Deputy Commandant) NLT 1100 hours on the first working day following the
formation/training event. The S l shall brief the current PERSTAT during weekly command and staff. (See
Appendix D)
e. Cadet Accident Report, NUCC Form 8.5. This form is used to report any incident resulting in an injury to
a cadet requiring medical attention. Any responsible individual having knowledge of the incident should report the
accident to the Regimental Duty Officer. The RDO shall notify the CDO and log the incident report in the duty
log. (See Appendix E).
f. Duty Roster, NUCC Form 8.6. This form, if used properly, ensures fair and equitable duty assignment and
should reduce complaints. Duty Rosters are required to be posted on each unit bulletin board. Everyone eligible
for performing the duty must be listed on the roster. The roster lists all eligible cadets alphabetically and by rank.
Duty Rosters will be inspected by the Inspector General and all inspecting officers. (See Appendix F).
g. Sick Slip, NUCC Form 8.7. This form is completed by the infirmary and distributed as follows: the
yellow copy remains with the infirmary; the white copy goes to the Commandant's Office; and the pink copy
goes to the individual cadet. (See Appendix G).
h. Special Status, NUCC Form 8.8. The Special Status Report is updated daily, and published weekly. The S l
Section Clerk retrieves sick slips from the infirmary and prepares the Special Status Report to include: unit,
name, class, date reported, date expires, profile/limitations, and special uniform authorization (if applicable).
Upon update, the S l Section Clerk will photocopy the SS Report Form and distribute to respective unit box (See
Appendix H).
i. Special Uniform Authorization Slip, NUCC Form 8.9. If the sick slip indicates a cadet cannot wear the
complete uniform of the day, the cadet will report to his/her Assistant Commandant (AC) who will render a
decision as to the appropriate uniform the cadet must wear. The AC will complete the form. The cadet must carry
the signed authorization slip and produce it upon any cadet leaders' or university official’s request. (See
Appendix I).
j. Excused Absence Form, (Green -unnumbered). The purpose of this form is to inform professors of student
absences which fall under the following two categories, as listed in the Norwich University Academic Regulations
(See Appendix J):
1. Illness, as confirmed by the university medical staff or other appropriate medical authority.
Students on Special Status are not excused from classes.
2. Emergency Leave as approved by the Deputy Commandant.
k. Detached Service, (Triplicate — unnumbered). This form is initiated by a sponsoring official seeking
permission to excuse cadets/students from classes, training, or formations to participate in off campus activity (field
trips, athletic contests, etc). The Sponsoring Official must complete the form and submit it to the Registrar NLT
72 hours prior to the requested Detached Service. The Registrar's Office signs recommending his/her approval
and forwards the Detached Service Request to the Deputy Commandant for approval. If approved, the Deputy
Commandant distributes copies as follows: white copy to sponsoring official, yellow copy to Housing/Cadet
Records Office, and pink copy to the Registrar. Each individual cadet listed as detached service bears the
personal responsibility to inform his/her superiors as to their status. Commanders/First Sergeants may verify DS by
calling the Housing/Cadet Records Office (x2138). (See Appendix K).
1. Door Card, NUCC Form (unnumbered). This form is affixed to the student’s door in accordance with
Chapter 11, Barracks and Room Organization, NUCC SOP. The cadet door card must be maintained and
accurately reflect the student’s location. Each individual cadet regardless of class, rank, and year group shall
comply. The door card procedure assists leaders in accounting for subordinates and is designed to aid/protect the
individual cadet. (See Appendix L)

APPENDIX F-DUTY ROSTER (NUCC FORM 8.12)

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 108


APPENDIX F
DUTY ROSTER INSTRUCTIONS
(NUCC FORM 8.6)

THE DUTY ROSTER, NUCC FORM 8.6 IS MODELED AFTER THE DEPARTMENT
OF THE ARMY (DA) FORM 6 AND IS USED TO ENSURE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION
OF ASSIGNED DUTIES (E.G., REGIMENTAL DUTY OFFICER).
The following principles must be applied:
• Everyone eligible to pull (perform) a specific duty must be on the roster. (e.g., all sophomores and juniors in
the grade/rank SGT and CPL pull Support Detail.
• List cadets alphabetically and by rank. Highest to lowest. If roster includes all officers, first list Colonels followed
by LTC, MAI, CPT, etc in order. See example.
• Weekdays and Weekend Duties are run separately but maintained on the same roster. This ensures equal
distribution of weekday (M-F) and weekend (Sa-Su) duties.
• If a cadet (Cadet A) wishes to switch duty, he/she must find his or her own replacement (Cadet B). The
assigned cadet (Cadet A) is ultimately responsible for the duty. If Cadet B fails to report for duty, Cadet A is
AWOL and subject to discipline under Chapter 9, NU Rules and Regulations.
• If a cadet is removed from the duty roster [examples: emergency leave, confined to infirmary, or withdrawal from
the university] the 1SG will notify all cadets and amend the roster moving each cadet up one day to cover the
absence(s).
• Assign the first day's duty to the first cadet listed on the roster, the second day's duty to the second cadet, etc.
Assign the first weekend duty to the first cadet and the second weekend duty to the second cadet, etc. Designate the
duty with a "D". Number the days following the "D". The cadet with the highest number is assigned the next duty.
• The system attempts to limit each cadet to one and only one duty roster. There are a number of circumstances
that might cause a cadet to serve on more than one duty roster. In such cases it is possible that a cadet might be
credited with a "D" for performing another duty.
• If a cadet is sick and cannot pull duty, the 1SG assigns an "A", meaning authorized absence. When assigned an
"A" cadet number remains constant which translates to he/she will pull the first duty upon his/her return to duty
status. Other authorized absences include: DS, emergency leave, confined to quarters, military leave, or regular
leave scheduled before posting the duty roster.
• Once a cadet pulls a duty, he/she is assigned the number "1" the day following the duty. Each day the cadet does
not pull duty, his/her number increases sequentially until the cadet amasses the highest number earns the next
duty.

The Inspector General will inspect Duty Rosters frequently to ensure fairness and impartiality.

Duty Rosters and Responsible Managers


• The Regimental CSM manages the following duty rosters:
o Regimental Duty Officer (RDO) — This roster includes all commissioned officers to include R/CDR.
UMR suggests roughly 105 officers available to pull this duty. Therefore a properly run duty roster
should equate to each officer pulling two weekday duties and one weekend duty.
o Regimental Duty Sergeant (RDS) — This roster includes all noncommissioned officers rank SSG
through CSM to include the R/CSM. Excludes 2nd PSG, and SL. UMR suggests roughly 125 NCOs
available to pull this duty.
• Each Company 1 SG manages the following:
o Barracks Duty Officer. The 1SG includes all the 1st and 2nd platoon leadership (Platoon Leader,
Platoon Sergeant, and Squad Leaders) and company key leaders (Company CDR, XO, and 1SG).
This duty requires one leader present company area during call to quarters (1900-2300) weekdays
and all day weekends and holidays. Cadet assigned duty must be on call 2300-0600 daily.
o Regimental Support Duty. The R/CSM assigns this duty to a company to pull for an entire week
commencing 1700 hours Thursday following Command Retreat and ending 0700 the following Thursday.
The 1SG runs the roster for the week his/her company is assigned the detail. Roster includes all juniors
(SGT and below) and all sophomores assigned to the company. This detail requires three personnel
each day.

APPENDIX J
EXCUSED ABSENCE FORM INSTRUCTIONS
(Green — unnumbered)

The Commandant's Office does not generate the unexcused absence form. Instead,
the form is generated under provision of the Norwich University Academic
Regulations as a means to inform professors of student absences which fall under
the following two categories:

1) Illness, as confirmed by the university medical staff or other appropriate medical authority.
Students on Special Status are not excused from classes.

2) Emergency Leave as approved by the Deputy Commandant.

Special emphasis — the academic regulations promulgate that such excused absences require notifying
professors in advance. Also reminds students that an excused absence does not relieve student from
completing course requirements, obtaining class notes, or making up exams or labs. In fact, form
includes a warning that excessive class absences excused or not still might impact the student's final
grade.

Forms are available thru the Cadet Housing/Records Office or your respective Assistant Commandant.
Cadets are encouraged to discuss reasons for absence prior to completing form. Save time and paper —
ensure your reason meets criteria.

If Assistant Commandant concurs, complete the form for Assistant Commandant's signature.

Print: Last Name, First MI; Social Security Number; annotate Corps; and include
NU Box # Record date and time departing University and date and time returning
to the University Provide a brief concise statement explaining reason for the
absence.

The administrative assistant will make copies and distribute it to all affected professors and academic
advisors.

E-mail (personal) Per individual
Telephone/Voice Mail Per individual
* Note: Primary means of communicating

10-3. Using Written Communication.


Cadets may be required to submit information in writing to certain members of the chain of command. These items
should be routed through the appropriate members of the chain of command, supplying copies to each person if
possible. All forms of written communication should obey formats/templates IAW examples found in the NUCC
SOP.
10-4. Chain of Command and Communication.
a. Definition.
1) The chain of command is the most fundamental and important organizational technique used in the military.
It is the succession of commanders, superior to subordinate, through which command is exercised. It extends
from the President of the University down through the Vice President for Student Affairs and Commandant
through various grades of rank to enlisted persons leading the smallest elements and to their subordinates. A
simple and direct command channel facilitates the transmission of orders from the highest to the lowest levels
in the least amount and with the least chance of confusion. (See Figure 10-1 below.)
2) The command channel extends upward in the same manner for matters requiring official communication
from subordinate to superior. Every individual in the chain of command is delegated sufficient authority to
accomplish assigned tasks and responsibilities.
(3)Norwich and the Corps have a formal chain of command similar to that of the United States Army. Cadet
Chain of Command (Top-down)
Figure 10-1. NU & NUCC Chain of Command

Officer Level NCO Level:
President ......................................................................................

Company Commander ……...First Sergeant
Platoon Leader …………….. Platoon Sergeant
……………………………… Squad Leader
Team Leader
……………………………… Recruit/Cadet

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 167
b. Communication within the Chain of Command.
(1) Orders and information are passed through command channels down to the lowest element in the
command structure. Information passed up from a lower level in the chain of command must be passed
to the next highest element.
(2) Information or communications should start at the lowest level possible. Effort should be made to
resolve issues at the lowest level. If a cadet supervisor or leader cannot help a cadet, then the leader
should refer the cadet to the department that can resolve the issue or to the next higher level in the chain
of command.
(3) Cadets with problems of a personal nature or having issues with a cadet in their chain of command have
the right to speak to someone higher in the chain of command and well as someone outside their chain of
command. The cadet should inform his/her direct supervisor as a form of courtesy if he/she feels
comfortable in doing so.

c. Jumping the Chain of Command.


(1) A cadet is jumping the chain of command when the cadet does not communicate with his/her direct
superior/subordinate when passing information. Any information that a cadet wishes to pass to any level of
the chain of command must go through their direct chain of command, unless that cadet does not feel
comfortable or safe referring to their direct chain of command.

10-5. Open Door Policies.


A cadet who feels that the chain of command is not responding, has serious issues, or feels embarrassed or
threatened in communicating with members of his/her direct chain of command, may coordinate to speak directly
to any commander in his chain of command, the Inspector General, Chaplain, or other personnel. Cadet leaders
may issue policies addressing specific times and appointment procedures to conduct open door sessions with
their subordinates.

10-6. Public Communication and Solicitation.


Cadets who wish to post information in campus pubic locations must coordinate with and receive permission from
the Director of Student Activities. Soliciting business, engaging in any sales or business venture, or distributing
sales or advertising matter on University grounds or within any University building is strictly prohibited unless
written permission has been obtained from the Office of the Commandant with concurrence of the Senior Vice
President. This policy applies to cadets and any other personnel, including non-campus businesses and
salespersons.

safety issue.

PART 2. DOOR MATERIAL AND BARRACKS SIGNS.

THE FOLLOWING IDENTIFIES ALL ITEMS AUTHORIZED FOR POSTING IN THE BARRACKS AND THEIR
SPECIFIED LOCATION.

11-2. Barracks Bulletin Board upon Entrance. (Fig.11-1). Each building has one bulletin board at the front
entrance, except Alumni and Dodge Halls, which have two. These boards will be used to post items of interest
such as club meetings, ROTC formations, student activities, sports schedules, and miscellaneous announcements.
This is the only authorized area to post such announcements. Nothing will be attached to the entry/exit doors of
barracks. 1SGs have the responsibility to ensure that bulletin boards remain neat, uncluttered and free from
unauthorized material.

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 169
11-3. Bulletin Boards (Figure 11-1). The company bulletin board is one of the main methods of communicating
with the members of the company. The company bulletin board must follow the Regimental standard for bulletin
boards, figure 11-1. The bulletin board is an item of inspection. When a company has more than one bulletin
board, each will be maintained. If one is on a floor shared with an-other company, the companies will arrange for
the bulletin board to be assigned to the company with the largest population on that floor. CSMs and 1SGs
should regularly check the board to ensure it has current and updated material. Vandalizing and defacing
material posted on the company bulletin board is a Class I violation.
a. Each bulletin board will be divided and taped off into 14 sections.
b. Each section will be labeled as shown in Figure 11-1.
c. All material will be affixed with thumbtacks or staples. The material should reflect the latest
edition/changes.

11-4. Latrine Doors. Latrine doors not affixed with permanent male/female "Latrine" signs, will be
designated as such with preprinted signs, sealed in clear plastic, and attached with drafting tape on all sides with
45-degree angles cut at the corners. The male/female make-up of a floor will dictate which latrine is for each
gender. Absolutely no other items may be posted on latrine doors.

11-15. Floor Identification Signs. Each Rook floor will have two floor entrance designation signs; one at each
end of the hall above and/or beside the fire doors. The signs will be placed into plastic document protectors and
attached with drafting tape on all sides with 45-degree angles cut at the corners.
The signs on Rook floors will state the following:
• X Company
• Rook Floor
• Off Limits to Unauthorized Personnel

11-6. Barracks' Outside Doors, Walls, and Stairwells. Nothing may be posted on entrance doors themselves,
entrance walls, or in the stairwells. The posting of such items distracts from the appearance and high standards set
forth. This is a requirement for federal building fire codes and must be strictly adhered to.

11-7. Individual Doors / Door Card (Fig. 11-2).


The standard door card (Fig. 11-1), will be printed and displayed by all classes. All information on each cadet's
door card will be correct and updated whenever there is a change so that cadets may be contacted in case
of emergency. The standard door card template can be found under Microsoft Applications on all computers
located in the University computer labs.
a. The standard door card will consist of three blocks as shown in Figure 11-2.
b. Block 1 will be filled out with four lines, 1/2-inch block letters, centered in capital letters as follows:

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 171
Beds will be made in the following order:
(1.) Sheets. The bottom sheet will be tucked in place using 45-degree angles at the corners. The top sheet
will be placed so that the top edge is along the top of the mattress and the bottom of the sheet will be tucked
under folding 45-degree angles at the corners.
(2.) Norwich' Blanket. The `Norwich' blanket will be displayed so that the NORWICH is centered left-
to-right and can be read when standing at the foot of the bunk. The second gold band from the bottom of the
blanket will line up with the top edge of the foot of the mattress and the overhang tucked underneath the

(3.) Pillow. One pillow will be placed at the head of the bed along the top edge and centered left-to-right.
The white pillowcase opening will be towards the wall. Only one pillow authorized.
(4.) Dust cover. The Norwich issue gold Norwich dust cover is the only authorized dust cover. All
cadets, regardless of class year or rank, are required to emplace the dust cover daily. The dust cover over
the pillow was used during the cavalry days to keep dust arid debris away from inside of the rack; it is a long-
standing tradition at Norwich. The dust cover will be folded in half (along length) and laid covering the pillow.
The folded edge will be towards the center of the bed so that it forms a straight line. Excess blanket will be
tucked and corners folded at 45-degree angles. Comforters may not be used as dust covers. The dustcover will be
removed and the pillow will be displayed for Monday's open-air rack, TAI, FAI, SMI, or any other formal room
inspection.
j. Open Air Rack. On Monday mornings, and extended vacations, beds will be stripped to allow for airing
and clean linen exchange. All cadets are required to strip their beds. Cadets who do not subscribe to linen service
are required to wash their sheets and pillowcase once a week for personal hygiene reasons. The blankets and
pillowcases will be "E-folded" and stacked at the foot of the bed. The `Norwich' blanket will be stacked first
followed by the dust cover, sheets, pillowcase and then pillow.
k. Unoccupied Extra Beds. Unoccupied beds need to be stripped and left unmade.

PART 4 Barracks and Upper Parade Ground (UP) Maintenance Standards.


11-12. Common Areas. Company Commanders are responsible for the overall appearance of their company
areas and the cleanliness of interior space and areas surrounding the barracks under their command. Cadets are
responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of common areas (hallways, trunk rooms, laundry rooms, janitor
closets, stairwells, entryways, and latrines). Common courtesy to fellow cadets and visitors is expected. Cadet
leaders will ensure that excessive trash or mess is policed up. FAC OP'S cleaning personnel are not expected to
clean up intentional messes or disorder caused by cadets. The chain of command may direct cadets to police
any area when necessary. Clothing and detergents left in the laundry rooms for more than 12 hours are subject to
confiscation and may be discarded. Note: Items left in common areas are subject to confiscation and may be
discarded.
11-13. Personal Items. Personal belongings such as sneakers, boots, clothes, athletic gear, doormats, ironing
boards, toiletry items, boom boxes etc., are not to be left in hallways for extended periods of time. Items are

trifles with, defaces, or removes items from bulletin boards, will be subject to disciplinary action. This is a Class
1 offense."
NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 173
11-15. Trunk Rooms. Cadet Commanders and Senior Noncommissioned Officers will inspect trunk rooms to
ensure compliance with NUCC Regulations. Bikes may be stored in trunk rooms if space permits. All items must
be tagged with cadet's name, unit, and home address and phone number. Cadets with an excessive amount of
items to store should mail them home or find alternate areas to secure them. Trunk rooms are considered non-
secured areas. Norwich University will not be held responsible for items lost or stolen.
11-16. Upper Parade Ground (UP). The UP has long been a ceremonial area. The UP is defined as any grass, road
or walk way in front, or adjacent to the barracks, dorms, Dewey Hall, Adams Bell Tower, Chaplin Hall and
Jackman Hall. Cadets are prohibited any time during the academic year through finals from walking on the grass,

NOTE: Unless executing marching tours, cadets are prohibited from walking on the tour path.
Cadets will be responsible for their guest(s).
11-17. Police Call. (Figure 11-3) Military installations are known for a high state of beauty and cleanliness
reflecting the discipline and pride of the personnel assigned. The same holds true for the Military College of
Vermont campus. Each unit in the Corps will be assigned a specific area to be policed. This area will extend out
to 10 meters around a command's barracks, front, sides, and rear. Commanders and 1SGs will be responsible to
ensure assigned areas are free from trash, bottles, cans, cigarette butts, etc. Cadets should not wait for a formal
police call rather take initiative and police any trash when seen.
11-18. Fire Alarm Evacuation. In the event a fire alarm sounds, all personnel inside the barracks will
immediately fall out of the barracks and form up on the UP in platoon formations for accountability. Complete
uniform is not required; however cadets should quickly put on a pair of shoes, shorts/slacks, shirt and appropriate
outer garment. When departing, cadets will turn off all room lights, leave doors closed and unlocked. Weapons
will remain in the rooms. The cadet leadership will assist security with identifying the source of the fire or alarm.
NOTE: Cadets will not reenter the barracks until the alarm has stopped and Security has
authorized entrance.
11-19. Energy Conservation. “OFF IF NOT NEEDED” is the policy! The conservation of energy is a cost
savings to everyone in the Norwich Community. Cadets will turn off all lights and appliances not in use in the
latrines, janitor's closets, laundry rooms, trunk rooms, and classrooms. Additionally, “WATER “WASTE
MEANS WATER SHORTAGE” also applies.

PART 5 INSPECTIONS.

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 185
CHAPTER 12
CORPS OF CADETS DISCIPLINARY SYSTEM
12-1. General.
a. The Norwich University Corps of Cadets (NUCC) disciplinary system is designed to develop self-discipline
as a daily way of life and to teach cadets to accept full responsibility for all that they do or fail to do. It is intended
to teach cadets to place a high sense of duty above self-interest and to be instructional, non-judicial and corrective
in nature. Non-judicial punishment provides commanders with an essential and prompt means of maintaining
good order and discipline and also promotes positive behavior changes in cadets without the stigma of a Full
Hearing Board or Summary Session. A Class 1 Offense is a disciplinary measure more serious than administrative
corrective measures and ordinary disciplinary actions, which include verbal and written counseling, remedial
training, letters of reprimand, and the Disciplinary Action Form (NUCC Form 12.1), but less serious than major
disciplinary actions that are adjudicated by a Full Hearing Board or Summary Session Policy.
b. Commander's Responsibility. Commanders are responsible for good order and discipline in their
commands. Generally, discipline can be maintained through effective leadership including, when necessary,
administrative corrective measures. Non-judicial punishment is ordinarily appropriate when corrective training,
administrative corrective measures or ordinary disciplinary actions haven’t changed the behavior or are
inadequate due to the nature of the offense or the record of the cadet. Non-judicial punishment shall be considered
on an individual basis. Commanders considering non-judicial punishment should consider the nature of the
offense, the record of the cadet, the need for good order and discipline, and the effect of non-judicial punishment
on the cadet and the cadet's record.
c. Commander's Discretion. A commander who is considering a Class 1 Offense for disposition will
exercise personal discretion in evaluating each case, both as to whether non-judicial punishment is appropriate,
and, if so, as to the nature and amount of punishment appropriate. No superior may direct that a subordinate
authority impose non-judicial punishment in a particular case; nor shall a superior issue regulations, orders, or
"guides" which suggest to subordinate authorities that certain categories of minor offenses be disposed of by non-
judicial punishment instead of by a Full Hearing Board, or administrative corrective measures, or that
predetermined kinds or amounts of punishment be imposed for certain offenses that the subordinate considers
appropriate for disposition by non-judicial punishment.
d. Commander's Suspension Authority. Commanders should consider suspending all or part of any
punishment selected under the Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations (NUSRR) Index of
Delinquencies, particularly in the case of first offenders or when significant extenuating or mitigating matters are
present. Suspension provides an incentive to the offender and gives an opportunity to the commander to evaluate
the offender during the period of suspension.
e. Minor Offenses. Non-judicial punishment may be imposed for acts or omissions that are minor offenses
under the Index of Delinquencies. Whether an offense is minor depends on several factors: the nature of the
offense and the circumstances surrounding its commission; the offender's age, rank, duty assignment, record and
experience.
f. Limitations on Non-judicial Punishment:
(1) When punishment has been imposed for a Class 1 Offense, punishment may not again be imposed for
the same offense or incident.
(2) Once non-judicial punishment has been imposed, it may not be increased upon appeal or otherwise.
Only the Commandant and Deputy Commandant have the authority on appeals to uphold, rescind or amend any
decision, to include increasing and decreasing a punishment.
(3) When a commander determines that non-judicial punishment is appropriate for a particular cadet, all
known offenses determined to be appropriate for disposition by non-judicial punishment and ready to be
considered at that time, including all such offenses arising from a single incident or course of conduct, shall
ordinarily be considered together, and not made the basis for multiple punishments.

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 186
g. Relationship of Non-judicial Punishment to Administrative Corrective Measures. The NUSRR and
the NUCC Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) do not apply, to include, or limit use of administrative corrective
measures that promote efficiency and good order and discipline such as counseling, admonitions, reprimands,
exhortations, disapprovals, criticisms, censures, reproofs, rebukes, corrective training, extra military instruction,
and administrative withholding of privileges. The maximum punishment that may be imposed by a Commander
using Disciplinary Action Form (NUCC Form 12.1) is 4 marching tours and 4 work tours. Alleged violations of
the NU Student Rules and Regulations (NUSRR) that warrant more severe disciplinary action must be
adjudicated as a Class I Offense. If the Commander elects to impose an administrative withholding of privileges
on the Disciplinary Action Form he/she must record the duration of the period for which the privilege is
withheld. Punishment recommended by a Commander using the Disciplinary Action Form (NUCC Form 12.1)
is signed by an Assistant Commandant and placed in the cadet’s personnel file. Administrative corrective
measures are not punishment, and they may be used for acts or omissions which are not offenses under NUSRR
Index of Delinquencies and for acts or omissions which are offenses under the NUSRR Index of Delinquencies.
h. Failure to Comply with any of the Procedural Provisions of the NUSRR or this SOP shall not
invalidate a punishment imposed for a Class 1 Offense, unless the error materially prejudiced a substantial right of
the cadet on whom the punishment was imposed.
12-2. Who may impose non-judicial punishment.
a. The following persons may serve as a non-judicial punishment authority for the purposes of administering
non-judicial punishment proceedings under the NUSRR:
(1) Company Commanders
(2) Battalion Commanders
(3) Regimental Commander
(4) Assistant Commandants
(5) Deputy Commandant
(6) Vice President for Student Affairs / Commandant
b. The authority of a commander to impose non-judicial punishment as to certain types of offenses, or in
special cases such as violations involving violence, hazing, assault, stalking, possession of illegal substances and
/ or serious breaches of state or federal law may be limited by the sanction assessment limits published in Chapter
9, Section IV of the NUSRR or for liability reasons by the Commandant and/or Deputy Commandant.

12-3. Procedure.
a. If, after a preliminary inquiry, the non-judicial punishment authority determines that disposition by non-
judicial punishment proceedings may be appropriate, the non-judicial punishment authority begins the process by
initiating a NUCC Due Process Checklist (NUCC Form 12.2) and if reasonable grounds exist to believe that the
accused committed the offense(s) alleged a NUCC Disciplinary Charge Sheet (NUCC Form 12.3). The cadet
shall be informed of the following:
(1) Verbatim notification of the following:
"I am considering whether you should be punished under the NUSRR, for the following
misconduct:"
(Inform the cadet of the alleged offenses — including the specific Class 1 violation(s), which the
cadet is alleged to have committed.)
"You are not required to make any statements, but if you do, they may be used against you in this
proceeding or in a Deputy Commandant's Hearing Board. You have several rights under this Class 1
proceeding. First, I want you to understand I have not yet made a decision whether or not you will be
punished. I will not impose any punishment unless I am convinced beyond reasonable doubt that you
committed the offense(s). You may ordinarily have an open hearing before me. You may request a person
to speak on your behalf. You may present witnesses or other evidence to show why you shouldn't be
punished at all (matters of defense) or why punishment should be very light (matters of extenuation and

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 187
mitigation) I will consider everything you present before deciding whether I will impose punishment or
the type and amount of punishment I will impose. Do you understand these rights?"

(2) The non-judicial punishment authority shall inform the cadet with a brief summary of the information
upon which the allegations are based and/or provide notification that the cadet may, upon request, examine
available redacted statements and evidence. The non-judicial punishment authority shall provide the
accused with copies of the Disciplinary Charge Sheet (NUCC Form 12.3) and redacted statements.

b. Before non-judicial punishment may be imposed, the cadet shall be entitled to appear personally before
the non-judicial punishment authority that offered non-judicial punishment, except when appearance is
prevented by extraordinary circumstances, in which case the Disciplinary Charge Sheet for the alleged offence
will be referred to the Deputy Commandant for adjudication in absentia.

c. Decision. The non-judicial punishment authority shall complete the NUCC Disciplinary Case
Disposition Form (NUCC Form 12.4) after considering all relevant matters presented.

d. If the non-judicial punishment authority:

(1) Does not conclude that the cadet committed the offences alleged, the non-judicial
punishment authority shall so inform the cadet and terminate the proceedings;

(2) Concludes that the cadet committed one or more of the offenses alleged, the non-judicial
punishment authority shall:
(i) So inform the cadet,
(ii) Inform the cadet of the punishment imposed,
(iii) Inform the cadet of the right to appeal,
(iv) Record the information on NUCC Disciplinary Case Disposition Form (NUCC Form 12.4),
(v) Ensure the NUCC Disciplinary Case Disposition Form (NUCC Form 12.4) is properly
signed,
(vi) Provide the cadet with a copy of the NUCC Disciplinary Case Disposition Form (NUCC
Form 12.4), and
(vii) Forward all case materials to the appropriate authority.
12-4. Punishments.
a. The NUSRR limits the kind and amount of punishment authorized. The non-judicial punishment
authority shall refer to the following sections of the NUSRR before imposing any punishment:
(1) Chapter 9, Section IV Commanding Officer's Disciplinary Action,
(2) Chapter 9, Section XIV Class 1 Offenses Defined,
(3) Chapter 9, Section XV Penalty Assessment Chart for Class 1 Offenses, and
(4) Chapter 9, Section XVI Index of Delinquencies.

b. Nature of punishment.
(1) Disciplinary Probation. The Commandant and the Deputy Commandant may, at any time, place a
cadet on disciplinary probation as a rehabilitative measure for a violation of NUSRR. The disciplinary
authority will prescribe the duration of the probation. Any disciplinary violation that occurs while on
disciplinary probation will result in immediate suspension or dismissal.
(2) NUCC Close Military Confinement (NUCC Form-12.7). Close Military Confinement (CMC) is the
most severe disciplinary action that may be assessed to a cadet short of suspension or dismissal. A cadet

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 188
placed on CMC will be in a disciplinary probation status for a period to be determined by the Deputy
Commandant, Assistant Commandant or the non-judicial punishment authority.
(3) NUCC Campus Confinement (NUCC Form-12.6). Campus Confinement (CC) is less severe
disciplinary action that a non-judicial punishment authority may impose. A cadet confined to the campus as
a result of disciplinary or administrative action will not leave the Norwich University campus unless
approved by the Deputy Commandant or an Assistant Commandant. A cadet placed on CC is not permitted
to attend or participate in any athletic, social or extracurricular activities off campus.
(4) Disciplinary Tours.
(i) General. No tours may be credited for studying, standing Cadet Guardroom duty or work-study. A
cadet on special status (SS) will march tours unless specifically recommended for excusal by the
University Physician and then will perform duties that do not violate their restriction as directed by their
Assistant Commandant.
(ii) Marching Tours. A marching tour will only be conducted on the Tour Strip and is 50 consecutive
minutes of marching with a rifle at shoulder arms, at the cadence of 120 steps per minute. No credit will
be given if tour is not marched correctly. A tour formation is a supervised formation. Uniform will be
Class A. In the event of inclement or cold weather, the S2 or in his/her absence, the officer of the day
may authorize the wear of the black knit cap with the Class A or the BDU with field jacket, black knit
cap and black gloves with wool inserts. When an alternative to the Class A uniform is directed, all
cadets will comply with the change. Formal work details may be assigned in lieu of marching tours at
the discretion of the Deputy Commandant, an Assistant Commandant or the Regimental Commander.
(iii) Work Tours. A work tour is fifty consecutive minutes in duration and will be conducted on a
date, time and location in support of the department or activity authorized by an Assistant
Commandant. Any cadet who performs poorly, or does not cooperate with the supervising Group
Leader(s), will not receive credit for the tour(s). Fifty minutes of work with a ten-minute break will be
credited as one Disciplinary Work Tour. Working during the ten minute breaks will not be credited
toward the next hour of work. Fractions of a fifty-minute tour will not be credited toward the next
hour of work. The Battle Dress Uniform (BDU) is the uniform for work tours on Saturday and Sunday
unless otherwise specified.
(iv) Authorization to perform work tours. An Assistant Commandant shall complete the Disciplinary
Tour Work Slip (NUCC Form-12.10) and designate the agency to which a cadet is assigned to work and
the number of tours that may be performed. A Cadet must have in their possession an approved
Disciplinary Tour Work Slip (NUCC Form-12.10) signed by their Assistant Commandant prior
to reporting for work. The cadet performing the work tour(s) is responsible for ensuring the agency
supervisor completes the bottom portion of the Disciplinary Tour Work Slip (NUCC Form-12.10) at the
conclusion of the assigned task. The Cadet will return the Disciplinary Tour Work Slip (NUCC Form-
12.10) to their Assistant Commandant. Failure to do so will result in no credit being given for the work
performed.
(v) Failure to perform work tours. Any work tour(s) not completed prior to the 0730 Saturday
Mandatory Tour Formation must be performed as a marching tour(s) starting at 0800 Saturday. A Cadet
must march all available tour hours.
(vi) Mandatory tour formation. A mandatory tour formation for all cadets with outstanding marching
or working tours will be held both Saturday and Sunday as follows:
0730 Accountability formation and inspection
0745-0800 Briefing
0800-0850 First Hour
0900-0950 Second Hour
0950-1020 Brunch
1020 Accountability Formation
1030-1120 Third Hour
1130-1220 Fourth Hour

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 189
All cadets with a work tour balance prior to the 0730 Saturday Mandatory Tour Formation must
perform the work tours as marching tour(s) at both the Saturday and Sunday Mandatory Tour
Formations until such time as they have a zero work tour balance. The S2 Staffs Saturday and
Sunday Mandatory Tour Formation Accountability Reports must be turned into Cadet Records
by the Regimental S2 NOT LATER THAN 0800 on each Monday following Saturday and Sunday
Mandatory Tour Formations. All Marching Tour Credit Slips must be turned into Cadet Records by
the Regimental S2 NOT LATER THAN 0800 on each Monday following Saturday and Sunday
Mandatory Tour Formations.

(5) Rank Reduction (when applicable as directed by the Deputy Commandant or an Assistant Commandant).

12-5. Suspension, mitigation, remission, and setting aside.


a. The commander who imposes non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person
punished, an Assistant Commandant, the Deputy Commandant, or the Commandant, may at any time, suspend any
part or amount of the unexecuted punishment imposed and may suspend a rank reduction, whether or not
executed.
(1) Suspension of a punishment may not be for a period longer than 6 months from the date of the
suspension or the end of the spring semester, which automatically terminates the period of suspension.
(2) An action suspending a punishment shall be documented in the cadet's 201 file and must specify that the
cadet not violate any NUSRR. The non-judicial punishment authority shall specify in writing any additional
conditions of the suspension. Example: "On (date), the punishment(s) of 10 marching tours, 10 work tours,
and 10 days Close Military Confinement (CMC), imposed on (date of punishment) were suspended and will be
automatically remitted if not vacated before (date suspension ends), the cadet may not violate any NUSRR and
is prohibited from any form of contact with D Company freshmen by order of (the officer who imposed the
punishment) or (the successor in command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority)."
(3) A suspension may be vacated by any non-judicial punishment authority or commander authorized to
impose upon the cadet concerned punishment of the kind and amount involved in the vacation of suspension.
Before a suspension may be vacated, the cadet ordinarily shall be notified and given an opportunity to
respond. Although a hearing is not always required to vacate a suspension, if the punishment is of the kind
set forth for a serious misconduct, the cadet should, unless impracticable, be given an opportunity to appear
before the non-judicial punishment authority authorized to vacate suspension of the punishment to present
any matters in defense, extenuation, or mitigation of the violation on which the vacation action is to be
based. The Non-judicial Punishment Authority shall report the findings of the proceedings to vacate a
suspension on NUCC Report of Proceedings to Vacate Suspension Form, (NUCC Form-12.5). Vacation of
a suspended non-judicial punishment is not itself non-judicial punishment, and additional action to impose
non-judicial punishment for a violation of the NUSRR upon which the vacation action is based is not
precluded thereby.
(4) Mitigation is a reduction in either the quantity or quality of a punishment, its general nature remaining
the same. Mitigation is appropriate when the offender's later good conduct merits a reduction in the
punishment, or when it is determined that the punishment imposed was disproportionate. The commander
who imposes non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant
Commandant, the Deputy Commandant, or the Commandant, may at any time, mitigate any part or amount
of the unexecuted portion of the punishment imposed. An action mitigating a punishment must be approved
by an Assistant Commandant and shall be documented in the Cadet's 201 file. Example: "On (date), the
punishment(s) of 20 marching tours, 20 work tours, and 20 days Close Military Confinement (CMC),
imposed on (date of punishment) were mitigated to 5 marching tours, 10 work tours, and 15 days Campus
Confinement (CC) by order of (the officer who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in command to
the imposing commander) or (a superior authority)."
(5) Remission is an action whereby any portion of the unexecuted punishment is cancelled. Remission is
appropriate under the same circumstances as mitigation. The commander who imposes non-judicial

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 190
punishment, a successor in command over the person punished, an Assistant Commandant, the Deputy
Commandant, or the Commandant, may at any time, remit any part or amount of the unexecuted portion of
the punishment imposed. An action mitigating a punishment must be approved by an Assistant Commandant
and shall be documented in the Cadet's 201 file. Example: "On (date), the punishment(s) of 25 work tours
and 25 days Campus Confinement (CC), imposed on (date of punishment) were remitted by order of (the
officer who imposed the punishment) or (the successor in command to the imposing commander) or (a
superior authority)."
(6) Setting aside is an action whereby the punishment or any part or amount thereof, whether executed or
unexecuted, is set aside and any property, privileges, or rights affected by the punishment set aside are
restored. The commander who imposes non-judicial punishment, a successor in command over the person
punished, an Assistant Commandant, the Deputy Commandant, or the Commandant, may set aside
punishment. An action setting aside a punishment must be approved by an Assistant Commandant and shall
be documented in the Cadet's 201 file. The power to set aside punishments and restore rights, privileges,
and property affected by the executed portion of a punishment should ordinarily be exercised only when the
authority considering the case believes that, under all circumstances of the case, the punishment has resulted
in clear injustice. The power to set aside an executed punishment should ordinarily be exercised only within
a reasonable time after the punishment has been executed. In this connection, 1 month is a reasonable time
in the absence of unusual circumstances. Example: "On (date), the punishment(s) of 15 marching tours
and 25 days Close Military Confinement (CMC), imposed on (date of punishment) were set aside, and all
rights, privileges, and property restored by order of (the officer who imposed the punishment) or (the
successor in command to the imposing commander) or (a superior authority)."

12-6. Appeals.
a. In general. Any cadet who is adjudged guilty and considers the punishment to be unjust or disproportionate to
the offense may appeal through the proper channels to the next superior authority.
Who may act on appeal.

Administering Official: Appellate Authority:


Company Commander Battalion Commander
Battalion Commander Regimental Commander
Regimental Commander Deputy Commandant
Assistant Commandant Deputy Commandant
Deputy Commandant Commandant *

* For punishments involving suspension and dismissal only.

b. Appeal format. Appeals shall be in writing and must include the appellant's reasons for regarding the
punishment as unjust or disproportionate. An appeal must be typed (double spaced), signed, dated and hand
delivered. In the case where an appeal cannot be delivered to the appellate, then the cadet making the appeal shall
deliver the appeal to the non-judicial punishment authority that imposed the punishment. All appeals must contain
justification to support one or more of the following:

1) The introduction of new evidence.


2) The evidence was insufficient for a finding of guilty.
3) Due process was not provided.
4) Appeal of the measure of punishment.

c. Time limit. An appeal shall be submitted within 48 hours (two duty days) of imposition of punishment, or
the right to appeal shall be waived in the absence of good cause shown. A cadet who has appealed may be
required to undergo any punishment imposed while the appeal is pending, except that if action is not taken on the
NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 191
appeal within 5 days after the appeal was submitted, and if the cadet so requests, any unexecuted punishment
involving tours or confinement shall be stayed until action on the appeal is taken.

d. Action by superior authority.


(1) In general. In acting on an appeal, the superior authority may exercise the same power with respect to
the punishment imposed as may be exercised under NUSRR by the non-judicial punishment authority that
imposed the punishment. The superior authority may take action even if no appeal has been filed. The
Deputy Commandant has the authority to suspend or dismiss cadets from Norwich University. Only the
Commandant and Deputy Commandant have the authority on appeals to uphold, rescind or amend any
decision, to include increasing and decreasing a punishment.
(2) Matters considered. When reviewing the actions of the non-judicial punishment authority that
imposed punishment, the superior authority may consider the record of the proceedings, any matters
submitted by the cadet, and any other appropriate matters.
(3) Additional proceedings. If the superior authority sets aside a non-judicial punishment due to a
procedural error, that authority may authorize additional proceedings under NUSRR, to be conducted by the
non-judicial punishment authority that imposed the punishment for the same offenses involved in the original
proceedings. Any punishment imposed as a result of these additional proceedings may be no more severe
than that originally imposed.
(4) Appellate finding. The Deputy Commandant and Commandant are authorized by the NUSRR to
impose punishments that may result in suspension or dismissal. Upon completion of action by the appellate
authority all findings are final.
(i) Suspensions may be any length the non-judicial punishment authority deems necessary.
(ii) Dismissals are permanent.
(iii) The Deputy Commandant may instruct a cadet to depart from campus by a specific time and
date. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in civil action for unlawful trespass.
(5) Notification. Upon completion of action by the superior authority, the cadet upon whom
punishment was imposed shall be promptly notified in writing of the result.
(6) Refusal of Sanctions. If a cadet refuses to accept or comply with the punishment imposed, the
Deputy Commandant has the authority to dismiss the cadet from Norwich University.

CHAPTER 13
REGIMENTAL GUARD, BARRACKS DUTY, AND OTHER DETAILS

13-1. General.
A regimental guard force and duty details are posted daily when the university is in regular session, to include
during final examination weeks, in order to maintain order and discipline, protect persons and property, enforce
regulations and policies, and conduct routine administrative and operational functions of Norwich University and
the Corps of Cadets. The regimental guard force and duty details are in place to support and reinforce the overall
campus security and safety plan and to provide a critical communications link from the Regimental Commander to
the Corps of Cadets, the Commandant's Staff, the Campus Security Patrol, and other persons and agencies in and
outside of the university community, especially after normal duty hours. All members of the guard force and duty
details are detailed for a twenty-four hour period. Some duty details allow for on-call periods as noted below. The
Regimental S2 is the proponent for this policy.

13-2. Organization.
Composition of the guard force and duty details is as follows:
a. Regimental Duty Officer (RDO) - 1
b. Regimental Duty Sergeant (RDS) - 1
c. Regimental Duty Runner/clerk (RDR)-1
d. Barracks Duty Officer (BDO)-15 (1 from each company)
e. Support Detail (SPT) - 3
f. Morning Caller — 15 (1 from each company)

13-3. Regimental Duty Officer (RDO)


An RDO is appointed daily to maintain order and discipline, protect persons and property, enforce regulations and
policies, and conduct routine administrative and operational functions of Norwich University and the Corps of
Cadets. The RDO is the Regimental Commander's representative and is ultimately responsible for all functions of
the guard force and duty details. The RDO receives his/her in-brief from the Regimental S2 at 0720 hours in the
guardroom on the morning of the day his/her duty begins. The RDO posts in the guardroom for the hours of 1630
to 0730 daily from Sunday afternoon through Friday morning, and from 1630 Friday afternoon through 1630
Sunday afternoon. The weekday duty requires the RDO's presence in the guardroom for a fifteen hour watch, and
the weekend duty requires the RDO's presence in the guardroom for a twenty-four hour watch. The RDO remains
posted in the guardroom throughout the watch except when at mess, inspecting other duty personnel, making
hourly rounds, securing the barracks, responding to incidents, or performing any other associated duties requiring
his/her absence from the guardroom. When away from the guardroom, the RDO maintains radio contact with the
RDS. The RDO is responsible for the code flags, barracks keys, the national, service, and university colors, and any
other supplies and equipment maintained in the guardroom. The RDO debriefs and is relieved by the Regimental
S2 at the end of his/her watch. The Regimental Command Sergeant Major produces the RDO duty roster from an
NUCC Form 8.6. The RDO pool includes, in descending order, all field and company grade officers in the
regiment.

13-4. Regimental Duty Sergeant (RDS)


An RDS is appointed daily to assist and support the RDO in the performance of all of his/her duties. The RDS
acts as the guardroom orderly and maintains a detailed duty log, monitors the base station, answers the telephone,
greets visitors, and leaves the guardroom in a clean and orderly fashion at the end of the watch. The RDS is posted
in the guardroom for the hours of 1630 to 0730 daily from Sunday afternoon through Friday morning, and from
1630 Friday afternoon through 1630 Sunday afternoon. The RDS must remain in the guardroom whenever the
RDO is out at mess, inspecting other duty personnel, making hourly rounds, securing the barracks, responding to
incidents, or performing any other associated duties requiring his/her absence from the guardroom. The RDS
assists in maintaining accountability for code flags, barracks keys, the national, service, and university colors, and
any other supplies and equipment maintained in the guardroom. The Regimental Command Sergeant Major
produces the RDS duty roster from an NUCC Form 8.6. The RDS pool includes in descending order all cadets in
the regiment in the rank of Regimental Command Sergeant Major through First Sergeant, and all first platoon
Sergeants First Class and Staff Sergeants.

13-6. Barracks Duty Officer (BDO).


A BDO is detailed daily from each company to maintain order and discipline, protect persons and property, and
enforce regulations and policies in and around the barracks and company area. The BDO is the Company
Commander's representative and is visibly posted in and makes rounds of his/her company area during the hours
from 193 until the barracks are secured at Taps/Lights-out. On weekdays after Taps/Lights-out the BDO remains
in his/her room or in the company area in an on-call status and maintains telephone and/or radio contact with the
guardroom until first call the following morning. On weekends after Taps/Lights-out the BDO remains in an on-
call status in the company area throughout the following day until 1935 hours. The BDO may be temporarily
relieved for mess by another member of the company chain of command in the position of Squad Leader or
higher. The BDO must enforce Call to Quarters and Quiet Hours, and account for any cadet in his/her company
who is on confinement. The BDO notifies the Company Commander or First Sergeant when a cadet on
confinement is unaccounted for. The BDO also ensures that cadets on confinement and/or cadets with tours get to
the tour and CMC formations. Each Company First Sergeant produces the company's BDO roster from an NUCC
Form 8.6. The BDO pool includes in descending order all cadets in the company from the Commander on down
to Squad Leaders.

13-7. Support Detail.


The SPT detail is appointed daily to support the functions of the regimental guard force. It is primarily a flag
detail, but its members may be tasked by the RDO/RDS to run errands and provide temporary support and
reinforcement to other members of the guard force. In no cases, however, may any member of the SPT detail be
left unsupervised in the guardroom or be asked to relieve the RDO or RDS for any period of time. The SPT detail
duty rotates weekly from company to company. First Sergeants produce the SPT detail duty roster from an NUCC
Form 8.6. The SPT detail pool includes in descending order all Sergeants (E-5's) in First Platoon and all
Corporals.

13-8. Morning Callers.

day. The morning caller posts twenty minutes prior to all formations and inspections and calls in turn on all decks in
the company area, announcing the formation/inspection at five-minute intervals and stating all information and
announcements pertinent to the formation/inspection, such as the uniform, the number of minutes remaining until
the formation, and any other pertinent announcements. Second platoon Platoon Sergeants produce the morning
caller duty roster from an NUCC Form 8.6. The morning caller pool includes all Rooks/Privates.

13-9. Guard mount.


Guard mount is conducted daily when the university is in regular session, to include final examination weeks. The
RDO and RDS report to the guardroom in BDU's daily at 1630 to log in and organize the watch. BDO's have until
1930 hours to post in their company areas. BDO's change into BDU's with BDO brassard once they return to their
company areas following mess. At no time is a Corporal or Sergeant to be left unsupervised in the guardroom or
detailed to relieve the RDO, RDS, or BDO's. The RDO, RDS, and all other personnel signed for a radio remain in
radio contact throughout their watch.

CHAPTER 14
ARMS ROOMS AND WEAPONS PROCEDURES AND SECURITY
References: NU Student Rules and Regulations, Cadet Handbook, NUCC SOP Chp 5,
14-1. General.
The oversight of university-issued government M14 and M1903 rifles is the responsibility of each commander
and every member of the Corps of Cadets. Security and accountability of all issued weapons are extremely
important. Each cadet is tasked with maintaining at all times the security and accountability of his or her assigned
weapon. Commanders are tasked with maintaining the security and accountability of all weapons assigned to
members of their respective units. Members of the Corps of Cadets who are assigned as armorers have additional
duties and responsibilities with respect to government-owned rifles. While certain sections of this chapter deal
specifically with armorer functions, all cadets are required to read and be familiar with the essential elements of
this chapter that deal with cadet responsibilities, issue and turn-in procedures, emergency and lost weapon
procedures, infractions, and security. All commanders and all armorers must be intimately knowledgeable of this
entire chapter. Though the bulk of this chapter deals specifically with U.S. Government M14 and M1903 rifles,
the term "weapon" will be generally applied to all weapons issued by the university wherever practical. Privately
owned weapons are not authorized on campus, and none of the provisions of this chapter is intended to
imply otherwise. See NUSRR Chp 3, sec XXI and NUCC SOP Chp5.

14-2. Purpose.
Demilitarized rifles, sabers, and swords are issued to cadets by the university for ceremonial purposes only and
should never be pointed at individuals or used in other than ceremonial training and formations without express
permission from the Deputy Commandant. Pointing any weapon at an individual can only be interpreted as a
threat and is forbidden. All cadets not assigned to key leader positions requiring a saber or sword will be issued a
government M14 or M1903 rifle for the purpose of mastering basic military skills such as the Manual of Arms,
care and maintenance, assembly and disassembly, nomenclature, and close-order drill under arms. These skills
are important in further developing the self-discipline, responsibility, attention to detail, and military bearing of
each cadet and the cadet's assigned unit through drill, inspections, parades and ceremonies. See NUSRR Chp 8,
sec XIX.

14-3. Commander and Leader Responsibilities.


Commanders and all other leaders in each chain of command are responsible to teach, train, and enforce weapons
security, safety, and accountability procedures outlined in this chapter. Commanders and all other leaders are
charged with implementing a regular weapons cleaning, maintenance, training, and inspection program. All
leaders are responsible to conduct a monthly weapons serial number inventory. Company Commanders will
document and certify the results of the monthly inventory on a monthly inventory log (the CMAIL), and forward
the log to their respective Battalion Commanders. Battalion Commanders will receive and certify the CMAIL
from each Company Commander in their respective battalion and complete a Certified Weapons Inventory Report
(CWIR). Battalion Commanders will then forward their CWIR, with all CMAIL's attached, to the Regimental S2,
who will advise the Regimental Executive Officer of any discrepancies. See Figure 14-

14-4. Cadet Responsibilities.


a. Cadets are at all times responsible for the maintenance, accountability, and security of their assigned
rifle and of any rifle under their charge. Cadets will safeguard rifles from loss or damage and will be
financially liable for loss or damage to any rifle assigned to them or under their charge. Any cadet who
witnesses the misuse or abuse of a weapon, a breach of the security, or an unsafe act is to immediately take
corrective action and report the incident to the chain of command. With the exception of Drill Team members,
every cadet who is not issued a saber or sword will be issued an M14 rifle. Every Drill Team member will be
issued an M1903 rifle.

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 220
b. Specific expectations of all cadets include each of the following:
(1) Cadets will have positive control of their assigned weapon at all times.
(2) Cadets' rooms will be secured at all times when not occupied. Windows at ground floor and below and
all doors must be locked when rooms are unoccupied.
(3) Rooms that will be unoccupied for the weekend or for any period of time greater than twenty-four
hours, in addition to having doors and windows closed and locked, will have curtains drawn.
(4) Rifles will be positioned in the wooden rifle rack, normally attached to the wardrobe, whenever
weapons are not in use.
(5) Each cadet is to keep his or her assigned rifle in his or her assigned room at all times except during
scheduled Corps formations requiring use of the rifles. The M14 and M1903 rifles are for ceremonial
purposes only and are not to be used for physical training or military tactics training except as authorized by
the Deputy Commandant and as noted on the training schedule.
(6) No rifle will be handled by any person other than the one to whom it is assigned, with the exception of
members of the cadet's direct chain of command or armorers performing maintenance checks and services,
inspections, or conducting rifle issue or turn-in.
(7) Each cadet is responsible to clean and maintain his or her rifle and to check and report to his/her chain
of command the condition of the assigned rifle immediately after issue and before turn-in. Any rifle not
returned to the armorer at the time of issue is presumed to be in good condition.
(8) Disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly of rifles will take place only in areas and at times designated by
the Company Commander, First Sergeant, or Platoon Sergeant. Company armorers are responsible to
coordinate with and assist their company chain of command in conducting initial and follow-up weapons
cleaning and maintenance training each time weapons are issued.

14-5. Issued Weapons Infractions.


Cadets are responsible for their assigned weapon at all times. Everything a cadet does or fails to do with his
or her assigned weapon is the cadet's individual responsibility. Carelessness with and neglect of issued
government M14 and M1903 rifles will result in financial liability. It is each cadet's responsibility to read
and understand this SOP and the applicable Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations governing
issued weapons. See NUSRR Chp 8, sec XIX.
(1) Misuse or Unauthorized Modification. Misuse or Modification of a Weapon is defined by the
Norwich University Student Rules and Regulations as any change, however slight, to the original integrity
of the weapon. All weapons are to remain in "as issued" condition. Cadets are not authorized to purchase or
acquire parts for university weapons. Whenever a weapon requires parts or repairs, the cadet issued the
weapon will report such to his/her chain of command, which will coordinate through armorer channels to
have the part ordered or have the repair made by proper authority. See NUSRR Chp 9, sec XIV and XVI.
(2) Unauthorized Removal. Defined as any time a weapon is removed from a cadet's room or from
university property for a purpose other than authorized ceremonies or Manual of Arms training.
Weapons are not authorized outside a cadet's room except to conduct approved Manual of Arms
training, maintenance and accountability inspections, and scheduled formations and ceremonies.
When not in the arms room or in use, weapons will only be stored in the wooden rifle rack
provided by Norwich University and normally permanently affixed to the cadet's wardrobe.
Weapons will not be taken off of university property unless authorized by the Deputy
Commandant. Cadets will not lend or exchange rifles or rifle parts with another cadet for any
reason.
(3) Unauthorized Transportation of Rifle. Defined as any time a university or government rifle is
transported in a privately owned vehicle or an unapproved storage container, and/or any time a
government or university rifle is transported to a location not approved by the Deputy
Commandant. Whenever transportation of rifles is authorized, written approval will be carried by

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 221
the transporting cadet at all times while the rifle is in transport.
(4) Unauthorized Weapons Training. Unauthorized weapons training is defined as any time a
university-issued rifle or other weapon is used in a non-ceremonial training event. Rifles and other
weapons are not to be used in conjunction with physical training or military tactics training unless
specifically directed by the Deputy Commandant. Cadets will not conduct any non-ceremonial
training with rifles unless written approval has been previously granted by the Deputy
Commandant and is noted on the training schedule.
(5) Unsecured Weapon. Unoccupied rooms with unlocked doors are considered unsecured,
even if the weapon(s) is/are in the rifle rack(s). In ground floor rooms and below, windows must
be locked to be considered secure.
(6) Foul Play With Weapon. Pointing a weapon at another person is strictly forbidden. Such
behavior can only be interpreted as a hostile gesture and is a serious breach of the Norwich
University Student Rules and Regulations and could result in suspension or dismissal. Carrying
weapons into administrative and academic buildings is also unauthorized. Any physical contact
with another individual, where a weapon is the instrument of contact, is strictly forbidden.
Engaging in weapons foul play will result in charges of assault, battery, intimidation, hazing,
willful negligent touching, disobedience of orders, and/or other appropriate disciplinary charges,
as well as possible criminal or civil charges. See NUSRR Chp 9, sec XIV and XVI
(7) False Accountability Statements. Any purposely inaccurate report, gesture, or confirmation
concerning the accountability of a cadet's weapon will be considered an honor violation.

14-6. Arms Room Security.


All arms room operations and activities will only be conducted using the two-person rule. Two
authorized cadets must be present at all times. No single cadet is authorized unescorted access to
the arms rooms. This means that whenever the Regimental and/or Drill Team arms rooms are open for
any reason, there will be at least two authorized persons in the arms room at all times. The Regimental
Commander will designate by name and rank all persons authorized access to each arms room. The
primary cadets are the Regimental S-4, Regimental Armorer, and Company Armorers. All other persons
may only enter the arms rooms whenever they are properly staffed by authorized cadets or officials of
the Office of the Commandant or the Norwich University Security Patrol.
14-7. Weapons Security.
Cadets are at all times and without exception responsible for the security of their assigned weapon. The
following safety procedures apply strictly to university issued government M14 and M1903 rifles, and generally
to all assigned university weapons (See NUSRR Chp8, sec XIX):
a. Rooms will be locked at all times when the occupants are not present. Windows on ground floors and
below must be locked.
b. Rifles will be stored in the provided wooden rifle rack at all times. The only exceptions are during
authorized Manual of Arms training, parades and ceremonies, and maintenance and accountability inspections.

-Begin Investigation Immediately
-Individual(s) involved are NOT released
-See next day procedures in paragraph 14-12

14-14. Unrecovered Weapon Report Of Survey.


Commanders play the most crucial role in the security of company weapons. Whenever a weapon is discovered
missing, the person who made the discovery must report it to the chain of command. The Commander must
then initiate and follow through on lost weapon procedures (see para 14-13). Any time a missing weapon is not
recovered, the Commander must promptly and thoroughly investigate the matter and determine who should be
held monetarily liable for the missing weapon. The Commander's investigation report, called a Report of
Survey, must clearly explain the details and results of the Commander's investigation. The report must include,

NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 227
with rationale, the name or names of the person or persons who should be held financially responsible for the
missing weapon. The report should be forwarded through the Battalion Commander to the Regimental S4, who
will provide copies to the Student Housing and Records Officer. The student(s) will then be financially charged
for the missing weapon in addition to being charged with a disciplinary violation under the Norwich University
Student Rules and Regulations.

14-15. Weapons Forms and Administration.


The following paragraphs describe the weapons forms and administration. Sample forms appear at the end of the
chapter.
a. NUCC Weapons Card (NUCC Form 14.3749a). The NUCC Weapons Card is an equipment receipt. Every
new cadet will receive a blank weapons card prior to being issued a weapon for the first time. All cadets are
required to keep their weapons cards until they graduate or withdraw from the university. Each company armorer
must ensure that each cadet in his or her company completes the weapons card accurately. When the rifle is
issued to the cadet, the armorer places the cadet's weapons card in the arms room weapons rack in the well of the
weapon being signed out. The cadet receives his/her weapons card back only when the returned weapon is
restored to its proper well in the rack. Whenever the weapons card is in the well of the weapons rack, it is
assumed that the cadet has possession of the rifle. Either the weapons card is inside the arms room in the well
of the weapons rack, or the rifle is inside the arms room in the well of the weapons rack; there are no
exceptions! (See Figure 14-3).
b. Weapons Control Log (WCL, NUCC Form 14.3749b). Every new cadet will also receive a blank
weapons control log (WCL) prior to being issued a rifle for the first time. Armorers must ensure that both sides
of the WCL are completed properly. The WCL is maintained by the company armorer and filed inside the arms
room in each company's card file. The card files remain inside the arms room at all times; there are no
exceptions! Each time a cadet signs his or her rifle in or out, the cadet will sign and date the next blank line in the
corresponding issue or turn-in column on the WCL. (See Figure 14-4, Weapons Control Log.)
c. Company Master Authorization List/Monthly Inventory Log (CMAIL). The CMAIL is a dual-purpose
form. It is a complete roster of the names, serial numbers, and butt numbers for all assigned weapons in the
company. Before a weapon can be issued, the company armorer must check each cadet's identification card and
weapons card against the CMAIL to ensure that rifles are not issued unlawfully. Armorers will continuously
update the CMAIL for their company and provide distribution copies to post in the arms room. Armorers must
also provide copies of the CMAIL to the Company Commander and First Sergeant. Information on the CMAIL
is entered into the Banner system. The CMAIL is also used to conduct monthly inventories of all rifles assigned
to all individuals in the unit. These monthly inventories should take place during Command Reveille on Monday
mornings and Command Retreat on Thursday afternoons. The monthly inventories are the responsibility of the
Company Commander. Other cadet leaders and the unit armorers must assist the Company Commander in
accounting for and securing all weapons in the unit. When monthly inventories are completed, the Company
Commander must certify to the Battalion Commander that all weapons have been inventoried and accounted for.
The Company Commander does this by forwarding a signed copy of the month's CMAIL to the Battalion
Commander. (See Figure 14-5, CMAIL.)
d. Certified Weapons Inventory Report (CWIR). Once the Battalion Commanders receive the results of the
monthly weapons inventories from each of their respective companies, they then complete a Certified Weapons
Inventory Report, attaching each company's monthly inventory log (CMAIL). The Battalion Commander then
forwards the CWIR with attached CMAIL's to the Regimental S-4, who reviews and forwards them to the
Regimental Commander. At all levels, if there are any discrepancies noted, leaders must take immediate action to
resolve the discrepancy. (See Figure 14-6, Certified Weapons Inventory Report.)
e. DA Form 2062 (Hand Receipt/Annex Number). A Department of the Army Hand Receipt (DA Form 2062)
may be used to loan rifles from the arms room to certain individuals outside of the Norwich University Corps of
Cadets when authorized by the Deputy Commandant. (See Figure 14-7, Hand Receipt.)

15-2. The S4 Officer and Staff.

a. General:
(1.) The S4 officer is the proponent, the staff agency for logistics, supply, property management and weapons
program for the Corps of Cadets. The S4 reports to the Regimental Commander and Staff: advising, assisting,
managing, maintaining, planning and executing activity in support of the Corps of Cadets that pertain to
logistics.
(2.) The S4 Officer supervises the efforts of the S4 NCOIC, the Assistant S4 Supply Officer, the Assistant S4
Property Management Officer and the Regimental Armorer. (See Chapter 3, Regimental Staff, S4 Job
Description.)
(3.) The S4 Officer, Staff and team on occasion work closely with the Uniform Officer who manages and
operates the Cadet Uniform Store (Student Services Bldg.) and Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services (Hayden
Bldg.). The S4 section may also assist, work and liaison with the ROTC supply organizations as requested.
(4.) The S4 advises and assists the Artillery Battery, Drill Team Company, the Cavalry Troop and any
other units regarding logistics.
(5.) The S4 supports the Leadership Development Program (LDP) directly and indirectly by virtue of its
activity, organization, mission and responsibility as individuals and as a functioning staff and team.
b. Characteristics of the S4 officers.
The professional qualities of the S4 Officer and Staff are the necessary foundation for the success of the mission.
You take care of each and every cadet in the Regiment - you serve each unit. You ask yourself what can I do to help,
to assist to make it happen. A servant leader. This is not necessarily a glamorous position but it will make or break
the organization. You are the unsung heroes. Keep in mind the Norwich Motto- "I Will Try". The primary
characteristics are: competence, initiative and judgment, creativity, flexibility, confidence, loyalty, team player,
effective manager and communicator. Let us look at each characteristic:

(1.) Competent. The S4 officer has to be knowledgeable in all aspects of the position and know the
specific duties and responsibilities better than anyone else. The S4 must be familiar with the duties of other
staff members to accomplish the vertical and lateral coordination to provide the best recommendation
and/or solution to the commander.

NUCC Standing Operating Procedures (NUCC SOP) – AUG 2005 234


(2.) Initiative. Able to anticipate requirements, size the situation quickly, determine what is
important and do what needs to be done. Good judgment, based on sound knowledge, skills and
common sense should prevail.
(3.) Creativity. Looking for new ideas and innovative solutions. Applying critical thinking as
discussed in the Cadet Handbook will serve one well.
(4.) Confident. Disciplined and reliable, the S4 team member will serve the organization, the
Commander and Staff members as well as those one supervises; will foster being a team player — one
who gets the job done.
(5.) Effective. The staff officers are managers, who wisely manage time, money and resources. Time will
always be critical, therefore sound preparation and planning is important. It is also crucial to the position to
be an effective communicator, both verbally and visually. Be a good listener and develop thoughtful,
appropriate and sound expressions that convey clarity and understanding to those who one speaks.
Providing visual representation of plans, requirements and the use of proper forms for mission
accomplishment, success and accountability.
c. Responsibilities and Duties of the Officer and Staff.
At the highest level, you work for the University, the Regimental Commander, the staff at large and Corp of
Cadets as a whole. You are the principal staff individuals for coordinating the logistics integration of supply,
property management, maintenance, transportation and services; as well as the distribution, accountability,
security and maintenance of the weapons program for the Command and University.

15.5 Logistics, Supply and Property Management Occurs (Where):


a. General: Logistics activity and responsibility can occur over a wide range of settings, terrain and conditions.
From the storeroom, to the conference room, to field conditions; planning and operating in these environments
is a matter of course. The S4 officers must synchronize and orchestrate the logistic requirements for all conditions
to accomplish the mission. This activity can occur throughout the University area; from Paine Mountain on the
east, the Dog River west, the athletic fields to the north and the lands and fields to the south. Terrain may be
fields, forest, rock, meadow, and water environments. The elevation may vary from 700 feet at the UP to 2411
at the Dog River to 2,411 feet atop Paine Mountain. Training, exercises and activity occur over this wide and
