HOHENFELS, Germany – Cadets from both the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) and the United States Military Academy, West Point (USMA) participated in Exercise Dynamic Victory, July 4- 18. Exercise Dynamic Victory’s central function is to test each of the RMAS cadets with different combat and leadership scenarios over the course of two weeks. These scenarios are both urban and rural based and challenge the cadets by testing the leadership skills they’ve gained over the past two years.
Capt. Richard Grimsdell, RMAS Instructor explains, “Dynamic Victory is the senior terms confirmation exercise, it’s their final exercise. So everything they’ve done up till now boils down to a two week package. They get tested on everything they’ve done from absolutely basic soldiering that they learned all that time ago to complex training all the way up to company level, finally finishing with a battle group level attack.” Grimsdell continues, “Once the cadets finish this exercise and they’re on the verge of graduation and commissioning. They’ll then move on to their respective regiments and battalions to conduct their phase II specialist to arms training.” Successful completion of the exercise also allows the West Point cadets to proceed to their senior year.
