  1. Recognition Day Class 2016 Purpose: To provide and overview of the events taking place on Recognition Day Class 2016

  2. Situation Weather: Average High- 73 degrees, Low-59 degrees (www.weather.com) • Sports Medicine will monitor and advise on heat conditions and activity levels • All training will be conducted IAW the SOP for Heat Prevention of Injuries

  3. Mission The Corps of Cadets will conduct Recognition Day activities for the class of 2016 on April 13, 2013 from 0540-until 1700 on The Citadel campus and Marion Square. The objective is to successfully transition the 4th class cadets from knobs to upper-class cadets.

  4. Execution Commander’s Intent: To provide a rewarding and challenging day, to instill pride in achievement and a sense of camaraderie within the 4th classmen through a safe and meaningful Recognition Day process. Concept of Operations: Phase1: Morning P.T. Phase2: Leadership Training Phase 3: “The Gauntlet” Phase 4: Knob Recognition Phase 5: March To Marion Square

  5. Risk Assessment Phase 1: Morning P.T. • Sports Medicine • First Responder Cadets • Company supply staff with water jugs Phase 2: Leadership Training • Minimal risk Phase 3: “The Gauntlet” • Sports Medicine • First Responder Cadets • Company supply staff with water jugs Phase 4: Knob Recognition • Sports Medicine • First Responder Cadets • Company supply staff with water jugs Phase 5: March to Marion Square • First Responder Cadets • Safety Vehicles

  6. Medical Procedures • There will be 10 first responder cadets along with sports medicine posted on both fields. • There will be 2 golf carts 1 on each field for transporting injured cadets • In case of an emergency find sports medicine • first responder will assist in taking cadets to sports medicine (designated by blue PT shirts in ACU Pants). • Sports medicine will assess the situation and take necessary procedures to ensure cadets safety.

  7. Medical Procedures Cont. • If a knob is taken to the infirmary ensure that they are appropriately accounted for. • An ambulance will be stationed next to the parade field during the gauntlet.

  8. Heat Injuries • This will be a physically demanding day and we must ensure the safety of all. • Commanders, Sgts., Plt. Sgts., and Squad Sgts. need to monitor the 4th classmen as well as each other during the day. • Ensure that all personnel both upperclassmen and knobs are hydrating properly. • Supply Sgts. need to ensure that all water coolers remained filled throughout the day. • Knobs with prior heat injuries need to be identified with a pt belt across the body • All commanders and 1st Sgts. Will be given a heat injury card to help identify cadets suffering from heat injuries

  9. Heat Injuries • Heat exhaustion: This condition often occurs when people exercise (work or play) in a hot, humid place and body fluids are lost through sweating, causing dehydration and overheating of the body. The person's temperature may be elevated, but not above 104 F (40 C). • Heat exhaustionsymptoms • Often pale with cool, moist skin • Sweating profusely • Muscle cramps or pains • Feels faint or dizzy • May complain of headache, weakness, thirst, and nausea Core (rectal) temperature elevated-usually more than 100 F (37.7 C) and the pulse rate increased

  10. Heat Injuries • Heat stroke: Heat stroke, also referred to as heatstroke or sun stroke, is a life-threatening medical condition. The person's cooling system, which is controlled by the brain, stops working and the internal body temperature rises to the point at which brain damage or damage to other internal organs may result (temperature may reach 105 F or greater [40.5 C or greater]). • Heat stroke symptoms • Unconscious or has a markedly abnormal mental status (dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, or coma) • Flushed, hot, and dry skin (although it may be moist initially from previous sweating or from attempts to cool the person with water) • May have slightly elevated blood pressure at first that falls later • May be hyperventilating • Rectal (core) temperature of 105 F (40.5 C) or more

  11. Accountability • Strict accountability needs to be taken throughout the day. • At each event all 4th classmen must be accounted for. • Each Sgt. needs to account for their squad. • The Sgts. will give this information to the Plt. Sgt. who will pass it on to their Plt. Leader. • A two man detail will be posted at the infirmary starting at 0540 and go till the end of the Gauntlet, in order to keep account of how many knobs are currently being treated.
