The Joint Training Team (JTT), drawn up
from officers of each Service, imparts quality
instruction to enable cadets to appreciate and
imbibe the functioning of each Service and the
jointness between the three Services.
The aim of the Joint Training Team is to initiate
cadets into the military environment by teaching
them customs, etiquette and traditions of the
Armed Forces. The training team is responsible
for the common Service training of NDA cadets
from the Ist to the VIth terms. It conducts both
theoretical and practical training in psychological
development, character building and leadership
development. The team conducts a four-weeklong
orientation capsule for newly-inducted
Ist term cadets. It also imparts knowledge of
tri-Service nature such as basic map reading,
navigation and weapon training. The syllabus has
been designed to build the knowledge of a cadet
on the three Services.
Two camps — Greenhorn and Rovers — held
during the IInd and IVth terms respectively, are
conducted by the JTT. Camp Greenhorn marks
the transformation of a cadet from a ‘greenhorn’
to a seasoned IInd termer who is ready to be
trained in all aspects whereas Camp Rovers is one
of the toughest military camps for the age group
and the stage of training.
