Military Drill is a team competition event that requires Cadets to think, move, and march as one. It requires a superior knowledge of stationary drill movements, marching drill commands, and the manual of arms. Successful teams must not only master these movements themselves but must be able to execute them precisely as a single unit. Drill competition teams can be either all-female, all-male, or a mix of both male and female Cadets. Drill units compete in squad and platoon level drill teams in both armed and unarmed categories. For those Cadets who have truly mastered armed drill, there are also the armed exhibition drill competitions where individual cadets, duos, squads, or platoons can create their own routine to demonstrate their proficiency. The Bulldog Battalion drill team is open to any Cadet in the battalion regardless of grade level or experience. Cadets can earn the distinctive red shoulder cord, drill arc, and numerous drill competition ribbons.

The Sabre Guard Team is one of Bulldog Battalion's most prestigious and precise teams. The team consists of Cadets who have demonstrated proficiency in all aspects of drill and ceremonies. They are trained to execute a specified set of commands on the proper use of the U.S. Army Sabre to create a ceremonial archway. They utilize standard sabers and execute precise spinning and presenting techniques to enhance various ceremonies and events. They participate in several events, including - high school graduations, military balls, awards ceremonies and community events (upon request). We encourage all Cadets to try out for the the Sabre Guard team as we honor our nation's military traditions and procedures.
