Project MANA - A Hunger Relief Agency

North Lake Tahoe Bonanza:  Incline High School's Highlanders Battalion Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps will be undergoing its 25th Annual Formal Inspection from 8 to 11:35 a.m. Wednesday, March 5. The public is invited to watch the cadets briefing on the state of the unit at 8:15 a.m. in the JROTC building and the in-ranks inspection starting at 9:25 a.m. in the gymnasium. This is the Highlander Battalion's 25th year with the Honor Unit with distinction, which allows cadets to wear the gold star on their uniforms. New guidelines this year require battalion members to have up to 2,000 points overall for the inspection. They previously had to acquire 800 points. The battalion needs to receive at least 1,950 points to maintain the Gold star and the privilege of being an elite Honor Unit with distinction.

Every three years, the Annual Formal Inspection is done by active-duty Army inspectors. This year's distinguished guests are George LeBard (executive director of Project MANA), Colonel Alexander Woods (District Army Instructor) and John Clark (IHS Principal). For further information, please contact Lieutenant Colonel Mike Iratcabal at (775) 832-4206.
