What is the main purpose of the squad log?

The main purpose of the squad log is to maintain records of cadet behavior and attendance. This documentation is essential for tracking the performance and discipline of cadets over time. By keeping accurate records, leaders can assess adherence to standards, identify trends in behavior, and ensure accountability among squad members. This log serves as a tool for fostering a supportive training environment, where successes can be celebrated and areas needing improvement can be addressed in a constructive manner.

While tracking academic performance, documenting participation in extracurricular activities, and providing updates to the Academy Coordinator are important aspects of cadet life, they do not capture the specific focus and function of the squad log, which primarily centers on behavior and attendance monitoring.
