USAFA
Triathlon Team
TEAM ORGANIZATION
The Team
is organized much like units in the Operational Air Force. There is an Officer
in Charge, who is backed by Assistant Officer’s in Charge. The Officer’s in
Charge assist the team by traveling to races, teaching drills mechanics,
completing administrative aspects, and educating the cadets with their
extensive experience of both the Air Force and the multi-sport lifestyle. It
incorporates aspects of a team as well by including additional officers who
serve as Coaches to the Cadets.
Most
importantly however, is the fact that the team is run by the Cadets. Most
decisions of the team are made by the Cadet leadership, and finalized by the
officers. There is a Cadet in Charge (CIC), who is responsible for leading the
team on a day to day basis. A Director of Operations is tasked with helping
the CIC. Additionally, every race has a CIC, which is an excellent opportunity
for Cadets to step forward and take on a leadership role.
