A trooper is any enlisted member of the 7th Cavalry within 1st or 2nd Battalion that is part of a section, and not the Section Leader. Troopers can retain their combat billet whilst volunteering for most secondary billets. A trooper will not be able to advance past the rank of Corporal (requires NCOA) unless a section leader billet is attained.

Role

Troopers are what make up the vast majority of all combat billets; they are the soldiers who train weekly to keep their skills honed, and act as the front-line fighting force of the regiment.

Responsibilities

The trooper is responsible of the following duties;

• Posting on the section roll call every week, as early as possible.
• Attending at least one section practice every week, minimum of one hour.
• Attend any mandatory meetings and practices set forth by the Platoon / Company / Battalion command.
• Adhere to the guidelines set forth by the section leader, and follow their instructions.
• Follow the chain of command to bring up any issues within the section.
