The cadets scored 588 out of a possible 600 points, classifying them as an Honor Unit With Distinction. The Battalion Commander and her staff were evaluated on their ability to brief the status of their unit and the functional staff areas (personnel, physical security, operations and training, logistics and public affairs).
