Rappelling is a means of using a rope to descend in a controlled manner from a height, such as a cliff or wall, in which one slides down an anchored rope and applies friction to control one’s speed, 通过一种特殊的装置或将绳子从一条大腿下面穿过另一条肩膀. In other parts of the world, another term for rappelling is abseiling.

Orienting
定向越野常被称为“思考运动”，因为除了很棒的锻炼之外，它还包括看地图和决策. The object is to run to a series of points shown on the map, 选择路线——无论是在赛道上还是在赛道外——将帮助你找到所有的点，并在最短的时间内回到终点. The points on the course are marked with orange and white flags and punches, so you can prove you’ve been there. Each “control” marker is located on a distinct feature, such as a stream junction or the top of a knoll.

One Rope Bridge
训练的最后一部分是一场比赛，每队八名JROTC学员必须用一根绳子越过一个障碍，只有第一名和最后一名学员才被允许接触障碍物. The rest of the cadets must traverse on the rope bridge.

Drill and Ceremony
训练包括一定的动作，通过这些动作，小组以有序的方式从一个队形移动到另一个队形(或从一个地方移动到另一个地方)。. Each within the group most learn these movements and execute each part exactly as described. One also adapts your own movements to those of the group. Everyone in the formation must move together on command.
