The Astronaut High School War Eagle Battalion has a total of five teams known as: Raiders, Rifle, JLAB, Drill, and Color Guard.
Raider Team- Raiders compete in many activities such as rope bridge,
5k run, cross country rescue, sand bag carry , and more. This is a very
physical team where everyone works together and gets down and dirty. If you are
athletic, or want to become athletic, this is the team for you!
Rifle Team- The Rifle Team is where we have our most marksman qualified cadets compete in competitions against schools from all over the county and state levels. The Rifle Team competes during the second semester of the school year. The cadets that participate in the Rifle Team are trained to shoot from the standing position, crouching position, and prone position.
JLAB- The JLAB Team is where we have our most academically capable cadets compete in a competition against all of the other Army JROTC JLAB Teams. There are two different teams as part of the JLAB Team, the first team is the Academic Team which competes in categories such as, math, reading, and English. The second team is the Leadership Team, competing in the Army JROTC curriculum. Competition is in November.
Drill Team- Drill team is more than marching. You learn to keep
your bearing, you become very competitive with schools throughout Brevard County, and
you learn excellent leadership skills. We also have Exhibition which is marching
and doing a routine while spinning, and tossing a 8 pound Springfield 1903A3 rifle.
