Cadet Staff Duty Analysis
The purpose of the cadet staff duty analysis program (SDA) is to improve cadets’ critical thinking and communication skills through the practical application of leadership in a staff / organizational environment.
SDA Components
A staff duty analysis has four components, each to be completed in sequence:
1. Service Learning. The cadet serves for at least 8 weeks (56 days) in any support staff position available to cadets, as approved by the unit commander.
2. Technical Writing. The cadet drafts a technical document that is relevant to leadership and managerial challenges they encounter as leaders in their organization. Along the way they develop competencies in critical thinking and written communications.
3. Oral Presentation. Cadets convert their service learning experience and technical document into an oral presentation, and make themselves available for questions and answers before an audience designated by the senior mentor.
4. Feedback. During the final component, cadets receive positive, constructive, and specific feedback on their SDA performance. This component may be combined with an end-of-achievement CAPF 60-90 series feedback session.
