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."

Class (first year students). transfer students are awarded class privileges upon recognition corresponding with their academic
year.

standards for recognition. Once recognized, all freshmen cadets earn the privileges of fourth-class cadets.
3-15. Corps Manning. The Norwich University Corps of Cadets Unit Manning Report (UMR) provides the authorization
and requirements for cadet positions for all cadets in the Corps organizations from Regiment down to Squad level. Cadets
are assigned to a paragraph and line number that corresponds to the authorization for that cadet position in the Corps. The
Regimental Sl IAW the University Housing and Administration Officer oversees the assignment of cadets to the UMR. The
UMR is reviewed, updated and approved each year by the Deputy Commandant of Cadets. See Appendix A TOE.
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.

UMR Assignments. No cadet may wear rank without written orders published by the Regimental Adjutant / S1
and approved by the Regimental Commander and/or Deputy Commandant. Cadet orders will only be published
when there is an authorized UMR paragraph and line number that authorizes a cadet position.
UMR Responsibility. The University Housing and Administration Officer will advise and oversee the
Regimental Adjutant / Sl on how to assign cadets to the UMR authorized positions. If the UMR paragraph and
line number does not have a cadet, leave the paragraph and line number blank.
UMR Recommended Changes. Modifications and amendments to the UMR may be made using a Cadet
Action Form and (include justification) will be submitted through the Regimental Sl and University Housing
and Administration Officer to the Deputy Commandant for approval.

NEW ASSESSIONS TO 385 or less (QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY)
a. 4th Class Cadets. All rook and/or freshman cadets are 4th class cadets.
1. Rooks. Incoming new recruits (includes transfer students) are called "Rooks" and remain rooks until they
have completed Rook Orientation Week (ROW), Rook Basic Training (RBT), Basic Leadership Training , and
the Corporal Promotion Board process. Rooks are formally recognized by the Cadet Regimental Commander
in a recognition ceremony conducted in the Spring, no later than Junior Ring Weekend.
2. Privates. Recognized rooks are awarded the rank of private. Cadets remain privates throughout the
remainder of their freshmen/1st year in the Corps of Cadets.

4-3. Corps Duty Position Application and Promotion Steps. See Figure 4-2 below.
4-4. Duty Position Application. Each junior, sophomore and freshman cadet is sent a duty position application. The
application' is used by the cadet to indicate what position he/she would like to hold in the Fall of the next school year.
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
receive Leader Development Evaluations and Development Counseling's. They are reviewed and used to evaluate
their leadership potential for increased responsibility and rank during the promotion process either during the
prescreen, file review during the board, and by the Commandant's Staff.
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.
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.
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.
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.
4-11. Changes. Cadets may be recommended for promotion or demotion within these positions using the
NUCC Administrative Action Form in Chapter Eight of this NUCC SOP.
4-12. Rank, Title and Positions in the NUCC. See the current version of the Corps Unit Manning Report
(UMR) at Appendix A to Chapter 3 (Corps Organization) to NUCC SOP.

Duty Position Application) (to be published electronically)
5-1. Personal Appearance. General: The Norwich University Corps of Cadets is a disciplined organization
which is judged in part by the manner in which cadets wear a prescribed uniform, as well as the individual's
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

uniform common to the Armed Forces, unless specifically directed or authorized. Clothing items that are
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.
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

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.

uniformity and to avoid an extreme or unmilitary appearance. Males are prohibited from wearing cosmetics, to

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:

accident prevention; and implementing the safety and risk management philosophy and procedures outlined
below in their units. Approve all risk mitigation plans found in NUCC Form 7-1.
b. Regimental Primary, Special and Personal Staff Officers. Responsible for cadet safety and implementing
the safety and risk management philosophy and procedures outlined in this chapter within their staff sections.
c. Regimental Safety Officer. Fully implement and supervise the safety and risk management philosophy and
procedures outlined in this SOP.
d. Platoon, Squad and Team Leaders. Directly responsible for cadet safety and implementing the safety and
risk management philosophy outlined in this chapter in his unit.
**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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

Once the report is completed it will be forwarded to the Battalion CSM. This will be accomplished as soon as
possible but in all cases no later than one hour after the scheduled training/formation.
Purpose: The PERSTAT is used to report the personnel strength for the Regiment. Information for this report is
taken from daily strength reports, battle rosters, sick slips, detached service and spot loss reports. The Regimental
S 1 will prepare a consolidated report; sign for the commander and submit 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.
Block #3 Authorized - the TOE authorizes 1250 cadet this number remains constant

8.5)
Purpose: 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 Officer of the Guard.
The OOG shall notify the CDO and log the incident report to his/her duty log. This form alerts personnel
managers and cadet leaders to potential changes in status and may trigger other personnel actions.
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.
The classification block provides invaluable information essential to accounting for sick or convalescing
cadets. The instructions block provides limits or constraints to sick/injured cadet participation in
training.
Individual cadets are responsible for communicating the nature and duration of their profile with their
respective cadet leaders. Additionally, cadets shall retain the pink copy in their possession and BPT
provide as authorized absence if challenged by leader or staff.
Block #5 List medical profile (limitations). Helpful to include rehabilitative instructions e.g.,
What can this cadet do to improve his/her medical condition in order to return to duty.
Block #6 Must include an expiration date. We cannot have cadets with never ending
profiles. If unknown, enter date for follow-up evaluation.
Purpose: The Special Status Report is used to identify those students with medical profiles limiting their
participation in NUCC training and formations. The R/S 1 staff updates the report daily (based on input from
1SGs and Commandant's Office), and publishes a weekly report.
Procedure: The S l Section Clerk retrieves yellow sick slips from the Commandant's Office and prepares Special
Status Report to include: unit, name, class, date reported, date expires, profile/limitations, special uniform. Upon
update, the S l Section Clerk will photocopy SS Report Form and distribute to respective unit box. The
consolidated report serves as an accountability roster for students required to attend SS formations.
Block #3 Signature and printed name/rank of S/1 staff preparing and verifying information
Purpose: If sick slip indicates cadet cannot wear the complete uniform of the day, cadet will report to his/her
Assistant Commandant or the Senior Enlisted Advisor to receive instructions about which uniform they must
wear. The AC/CSM will complete the form. Cadet must carry signed authorization slip and produce same upon
challenge of cadet leaders. Note — only the assistant commandant can approve a modification to the cadet
uniform.
Block #2 Unit:
Distribution: white copy cadet 201; yellow copy unit; and pink copy individual
All students are responsible for reading the statement on the back of this form before completing it.
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.
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.
Read and sign attesting Cadet acknowledges consequences for missing classes.

CHAPTER 10
COMMUNICATION
There are many methods of communications used to pass information throughout the Norwich community and
amongst the Corps of Cadets. Cadets are required to adhere to published directives and policies; and attend all
mandatory formations IAW guidance contained in various methods of communication. Cadets are responsible for
the information that is put out to them in electronic form, on the web, through e-mail and by hard copy. As much
as possible, the Deputy Commandant and his staff; and the Corps will use electronic means to communicate.

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.

CHAPTER 11
BARRACKS AND ROOM ORGANIZATION, FURNITURE, AND
MAINTENANCE STANDARSDS
I. General. Commanders are responsible for what happens or fails to happen within their respective areas of
responsibility. Commanders are responsible for the health, morale, and welfare of their cadets. A Commander's
areas of responsibility are defined as:
a. Common areas. Hallways, trunk rooms, stairwells, laundry rooms, janitor closets, entryways, hallway
trashcans, and latrines.
b. Living quarters. All barracks rooms assigned to any member of that particular command.
11-1. General. The following identifies the furniture arrangement and management for rooms, barracks areas, and
the Upper Parade Grounds. Any questions concerning this SOP should be directed to the cadet's Company
Commander.
a. No furniture or any part of furniture will be removed from the room without permission from the Company
Commander. The Company Commander will contact the Housing Officer and submitting a Service Request. Only
Facilities Operations (FAC OPS) personnel are authorized to remove furniture.
b. Under no circumstances will modifications be made to beds, wardrobes, bookcases, weapons rack, or other
university issued furniture. The term modifications include any tacking, nailing, screwing, painting, adding stickers,
defacing or disassembly. Bunk beds are to remain stacked and may not be separated into single beds. Bookshelves
are to remain attached to walls. Weapons racks will not be modified to secure weapons.
c. One bed and mattress per room occupant is allowed. Extra bunks, in one-man rooms, not wanted may be
removed by making arrangements, through the Company Commander and the Housing Office, with FAC OPS.
Only FAC OPS will remove the extra bed. Cost of removal will be the responsibility of the individual. Bed boards,
if used, will be limited to those obtained from FAC OPS.
d. Wardrobes and racks will not be rearranged in the barracks room. The backs of wardrobes and side of beds
must remain flush against the walls (unless approved by Battalion's Assistant Commandant based on room size,
layout, and number of occupants). Desks must remain under bookcases and backs flush against wall. This is a fire
safety issue.
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.
NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 170
d. Block 2 will display the cadet's academic CLASS YEAR, MAJOR, ROTC affiliation, CLUB, SPORT,
and COMMITTEE(S)
e. Block 3 will be cadets CLASS SCHEDULE with course number and building/room. This section will be
typed in full case letters using black ink. The schedule will be current at all times.
f. Block 4 will indicate the time and location of rooks and all cadets at all times when not in their room.
NOTE: Doors must remain uncluttered.
11-8. General. Cadet rooms will be maintained in accordance with procedures prescribed herein. Cadets will
comply with ordinary standards of good taste and safety. Cadet Commanders will ensure that these standards are
followed and that supplemental instructions are issued when necessary.

modified. Light cover will be attached.
d. Windows, Window Sills, and Balconies. Windows, windowsills and window wells will remain free from
articles and debris. Cadets adjacent to window wells, balconies (Hawkins), and sills will be responsible to
police those areas. No articles will be hung on the window frame. No stickers are to be affixed to the window or
windowpanes. No window fans are allowed (i.e. fans designed to be placed semi-permanently in / on window
frames). Only small fans, maximum 12 inches are authorized, and may be placed on windowsill during usage. Fan

schedules, etc., may be taped on the inside of the wardrobe door only. Items must be in good taste, non-
offensive and of neat appearance. Non-seasonal civilian clothes will be taken home or stored in the trunk /
container in the room or in the trunk room. All required uniform issued items must be stored in the wardrobe. No
clothes will be hung anywhere else in the room.
f. Closets. Closets are available in Alumni Barracks only. These closets are used as a wardrobe only when
there are four occupants per room. Contents in the closet will be arranged IAW chapter 11, part 6.
g. Weapons Rack. The weapons rack affixed to the wardrobe will not be modified in any manner to secure the
M-14 rifles. No locks are to be secured around the rifles. The rifles will be stored in the weapons rack only. When
the rifles are not issued, the weapons rack will remain empty. Upperclassmen issued sabers may place the sabers in

h. Furnishings. All surface areas will be free of dust, (i.e. furniture, equipment, appliances, bed boards,
pipes, bookshelves, and wardrobe). All items on furniture will be neatly arranged. Refrigerators must be clean and
free from odor (no science projects). Unserviceable or broken items will be reported to the Company
Commander who will inform the Housing Office. The Housing Office will submit a work order to FAC OPS.
The work order will be available for inspection/review if not immediately repaired or replaced.
i. Beds. Beds will be made in a head- to- foot manner (i.e. head of bottom bunk will be under foot of top
bunk). Beds will be made daily and all cadets will use the gold Norwich dust cover. Plain, white, non-fitted, bed
sheets and pillowcase are the only linen authorized (i.e. colored sheets are not authorized). The `Norwich' blanket
will be the only authorized blanket used as the bed covering. The NU rack will be made with dust cover and be
prepared for inspection from 0700-1700 daily, except for Mondays (Open Air), and TAI (No Dust Cover). Cadets
that do not have linen service are required to have two sets of linen. Foam, or similar type, mattresses are
unauthorized. Comforters, bedspreads, sleeping bags or anything other than the `Norwich' blanket is not authorized
for inspections. These items may be used to sleep with but will be neatly put out of site daily.
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
mattress. The bottom of the blanket will be tucked in using 45-degree angles at the corners and sides tucked.
(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.
l. Desk, Desk Blotter, and Book Cases. Desk, desk blotters, and bookcases will be neat and orderly. Books
will be placed on the bookcases, binders out, in descending order by size from the outside edges. The Norwich
issued desk blotter will be centered on the desk.
m. Footgear. Boots and shoes will be polished, laced, tied (laces tucked as worn), and arranged at the foot
of the bed with toes pointing out, in the following order:
(1) Combat boots
(2) Military shoes
(3) Hiking boots
(4) Civilian shoes and boots (if authorized)
(5) Athletic shoes
(6)Shower shoes
Note: Extra footgear will be placed under the rack behind the required shoe alignment.
n. Trash Cans. Trashcans will be NU issued only, empty, clean, presentable, and serviceable. Cadets will be
responsible to replace any trashcan that is unserviceable. All rooms must have a trashcan. Plastic liners may be
used.
o. Curtains. University issued curtains are the only curtains authorized to hang in the rooms. They are to be
serviceable and hung properly. Unserviceable curtains (i.e. torn/ripped) or curtain rods need to be replaced
through FAC OPS. Note: Mini blinds are not authorized.
p. Food Items. Although small amounts of food items are authorized in the barracks and rooms, common
sense and the need to maintain sanitary conditions are required. Food should be kept out of sight. Perishable
foods, not in refrigerators, are not authorized and will be disposed of immediately. Large amounts of non-
perishable foods (i.e. soup, noodles, crackers, etc.) detract from the professional appearance of the room and
should not be left out in open view. Open items need to be stored in sealed containers or bags to prevent the
infestation of vermin or insects.

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.
(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).
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.
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:
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.

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)

13-5. Regimental Duty Runner/Clerk (RDR)
An RDR is appointed daily to assist and support the RDO in the performance of all of his/her duties. The RDR
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 RDR 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 RDR 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 RDR
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 RDR duty roster from an NUCC Form 8.6. The RDR pool includes in descending order all cadets

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.
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.
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.
NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 222
g. Exception to the above policy: during a fire alarm evacuation, cadets will leave their weapons in
their rooms with their doors unlocked.
NUCC Standards, Operations and Procedures Manual (NUCC SOP) - AUG 2005 223
rifle issue and turn-in, maintenance and training, accountability and security.
(4) Assist the S4 Regimental Armorer with oversight and efficient operation of the university
arms rooms.
(5) Assist in executing emergency and lost weapon procedures, to include accountability inspections, and
barracks lock-down when required.

14-12. Absences From Campus.
Cadets who will be absent from the university campus for seventy-two (72) hours or less will secure their weapons
in their rooms as usual. Cadets who must leave campus for more than seventy-two hours must turn their weapons in
to an immediate supervisor or a trustworthy individual within their company. In all cases, cadets must indicate on
their leave forms the status/location of their weapons for the period of their absence. If a cadet leaves campus
without securing his/her weapon, or leaves campus and does not return within the previously expected time frame,
the cadet's chain of command must gain positive control of the weapon and, if necessary, coordinate to have the
weapon turned into the arms room.
Step 2. Search immediate area — weapon found — go to step 3A. Weapon not found
— go to step 3B.
Step 4. Search floor — weapon found — go to step 3A. Weapon not found go to step 5.
Step 5. Notify Battalion and Regimental Commanders, Cadet Guardroom, Commandant's Office,
and Security — go to step 6.
Step 6. Lock Down and Search Barracks — weapon found — go to step 3A weapon not found — go to step 7.
Note: During barracks lock-down, members of the cadet chain of command, the S2 staff,
and the Regimental Guard will post sentinels at all doorways

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.

(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.
