BLOCKS

What Is a Block?
Earning a spot on a Pioneer Guard Block is a badge of honor. Blocks are our competition teams—highly skilled groups selected to perform at major drill meets. Only the most dedicated, disciplined, and skilled cadets earn a spot on a block.

🔥 We have four competitive Blocks:

Armed Regulation Block – Executes precise military drill commands.
Armed Exhibition Block – Performs high-energy, creative routines with rifle spins and tricks.
Armed Inspection Block – Represents the team in judged military inspections.
Armed Color Guard – Presents the national colors with precision and respect.

Earning a block position isn’t easy. Cadets must train, prove their discipline, and demonstrate unmatched skill to be selected. It’s a commitment that demands hard work, teamwork, and leadership.
