Aggressor Platoon Video Transcript

(music)

The Aggressor Platoon is an all-volunteer extracurricular unit sponsored by the military department and the Boar's Head Brigade. Founded in 1963, the platoon's original mission was to serve as the opposing force for pre camp operations. More recently, the unit mission has changed to provide realistic training and small unit, light infantry and Ranger tactics. The training is physically tough and mentally demanding, requiring the utmost of those who feel they're up to the challenge of being an aggressor.

Those who take up the challenge are taught in the classroom and apply what they have learned in some of the most realistic field problems the University of North Georgia can provide. In the end, the blood, the sweat and tears pay off. Every year the aggressors come out ahead of their peers at advanced camp and are found leading the Corps of Cadets. Despite where they are found, no matter what they are doing, aggressors will always be out front leading the way.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
