Public Welcome to Watch

On April 8, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Army ROTC Big Red Battalion will be conducting an annual training exercise in which Cadets will be flown from two different campuses, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and University of Nebraska-Kearney, and air inserted by either a CH-47 Chinook or UH-60 Blackhawks onto Concordia University's campus located in Seward, Nebraska.

Cadets will continue to conduct three separate missions that build upon each other collectively. Concordia's drama department along with Army ROTC seniors from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will role play the enemy and civilians within these training events.

The first of two different lifts of Cadets will fly out from Innovation Park, formally known as the State Fair Grounds, at 3:45 p.m. arriving at Concordia University at 4:00 p.m. This training event is conducted every year to help Cadets train for their Leadership Development Assessment Course. This is the second year this annual event is being held at Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska.

The general public is invited to observe the training exercise "liftoffs" from the horsetrack field at the former Nebraska State Fairground, or the mission itself at Concordia University's campus, 800 N. Columbia Ave. Seward, NE
