Rifle Team consists of two teams each with four members of the team. We currently have a Varsity (4 member) and Junior Varsity (3 member) teams. This is the first year we are using the new range which allows us to practice year-round if needed. The season consists of four virtual (shot at Incline) matches and three Shoulder to Shoulder (hosted at different schools) matches. Here is some more information about the range and Rifle in general.

 

Incline High School will create opportunities for cadets to participate in marksmanship activities in conjunction with Army JROTC curriculum. USACC JROTC Instructors will support marksmanship activities to include classroom instructions and participation in marksmanship training involving firing on ranges. Firing of .177 Sporter Air Rifles with non-lead pellets. Instructors maintain access to the range through a single locked door. Custodians also have access to the range for maintenance of heating and cooling systems or any other required maintenance needed. The range targets and firing line will be maintained by the JROTC instructor staff while the required maintenance is being completed by custodial staff. Hours the range may be used will be from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM. Caliber of ammunition is .177 pellet Types of rifles used are Crossman Challenger Model CH2009S. Cleaning of the range will be conducted by the Cadets daily and weekly by the school custodial staff and trash picked up weekly. All JROTC Instructors will comply with regulatory guidelines outlined in Cadet Command Regulation 145-2, Organization, Administration, Operation, Training and Support with respect to marksmanship training. Air rifle marksmanship will only be conducted by certified JROTC instructors or coaches approved through 8th Brigade. Instructors will not conduct JROTC air rifle marksmanship training with students other than JROTC Cadets. Prior to conducting marksmanship training the Senior Army Instructor will ensure compliance with all Army regulatory requirements as well as state and municipal laws and school system policies. Security of equipment is the rifles are locked in a rifle rack and secured inside the range which has a single locked entrance door. Pellets are locked inside a locked wall locker in a separate locked area. The school and USACC continue to recognize that marksmanship training remains a wholly voluntary program for JROTC Cadets.

Drone - 

December 17, 1903 was the first powered aircraft flight. Now 120 years later humans have aircraft that can fly unmanned and perform some incredible tasks. IHS JROTC cadets have the opportunity to see what the future of unmanned flight will entail. Cadets will be able to learn the basics of drone flight, aerodynamics, flight safety and FAA regulations regarding drone flying. This is the first year for the drone program at IHS so we are building the airplane as we are flying it!! 

Cyber Patriot -

What is Cyber Patriot?

CyberPatriot is the National Youth Cyber Education Program created by the Air Force Association to inspire K-12 students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation's future. ​At the core of the program is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition, the nation's largest cyber defense competition that puts high school and middle school students in charge of securing virtual networks. Other programs include AFA CyberCamps, an elementary school cyber education initiative, a children’s literature series, and CyberGenerations –a cyber safety initiative geared toward keeping senior citizens safe online.

CyberPatriot's National Youth Cyber Defense Competition is the world's largest cybersecurity competition and is open to all schools and approved youth organizations. Before getting started with the registration process, review this competition overview to get a better understanding of the competition!

 

Team Members

• Coach: An adult (e.g. teacher, JROTC instructor, administrator, parent, etc.) approved by a participating organization to act as the administrative lead of a CyberPatriot team. The coach is the main point of contact for competition-related correspondence. A team can only have one coach. 

 

• Competitors: Each CyberPatriot team must consist of between two and six competitors enrolled in the participating school or organization. While up to six students are permitted on each team's roster, a maximum of five students are permitted to compete at any one time during a competition round. A one-time substitution can be made each round.  

 

• Technical Mentor(s): IT​​-experienced individuals who volunteer to assist in the cybersecurity training of CyberPatriot teams. Mentors must register on the CyberPatriot website and are required to successfully complete a background check before being eligible to officially join a team. (Minimum age: 18)

 

• Team Assistant(s): Adult volunteers who provide non-technical support and encouragement to the team (assisting with scheduling, set-up, snacks, etc.). Team assistants must register on the CyberPatriot website and pass a background check. (Minimum age: 18)

        Divisions:
        Based on the competitive composition, a team is assigned to one of three divisions:

 

• Open Division: High school students from schools, scouting units, Boys and Girls Clubs, home school programs, STEM programs, etc.

 

• All Service Division: High school students in JROTC Programs / Civil Air Patrol units / Naval Sea Cadet Corps units

 

• Middle School Division: Middle school students from schools, scouting units, boys and girls clubs, STEM programs, etc.

CyberPatriot’s National Youth Cyber Defense Competition challenges teams of high school and middle school students to find and fix cybersecurity vulnerabilities in virtual operating systems. Using a proprietary competition system, teams are scored on how secure they make the system. Top teams advance through the online round of competition, and the best of the best advance to the in-person National Finals Competition. 
Each team has two challenges during their six-hour competition period:

 

• Network Security Challenge: involves finding and fixing security vulnerabilities in Windows and Linux operating systems.

 

• Cisco Networking Challenge: consists of an online quiz and a virtual networking exercise based on specific training materials.

 

CyberPatriot is designed for any student, regardless of prior cybersecurity knowledge. Training materials are available through the volunteer dashboard and through Cisco Networking Academy.  Instructions for competition round preparation are emailed directly to coaches prior to each round.

All rounds of competition, except for the National Finals Competition, take place online. Teams may meet at and compete from any location – classroom, computer lab, public library, home, etc.

Teams qualifying for the National Finals Competition travel all-expenses paid to Bethesda, MD in the spring.
