U.S. Military Exploring Six (6) Pillars of Vision
The Vision for our U.S. Military Explorers Program is based upon years of military experience, training, and confidence facing their abilities as a youth progresses on to a young adult looking at a military career. Here are the six pillars of our U.S. Military Explorer Vision.
1. Professional Military Education (PME)
Education is the bedrock to a productive member of the team regardless of assignment or job. Character development is key in PME as a cadet moves through various promotions, assignments, and leadership roles.
2. National Pride with Patriotic Service
The United States is the forebearer in defense of our nation's freedom placed on a global stage. As such, each member of the U.S. Military Explorers team must become essential in providing such dedicated service and pride to the Explorers and their nation.
3. SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape)
Our military expects our youth to be ready to assume the worst as defenders of America. Every military member is required to be able to survive the future battlefield with certain tenants of basic survival skills. MX Training initiates those basic skill sets.
4. Warrior Ethos
The military career path is one that differs from other civilian paths in that you must look at our enemies across a wide spectrum. From understanding your role in the military, you must become educated and trained to see what is happening globally thru the U.S. National Security Strategy. Becoming that requires education, intelligence briefings, know the enemy, and build you own Warrior Ethos and the ability to handle the rough road.
5. Physical Fitness
As the military needs physically fit individuals to perform military missions across the globe, you have to consider healthy choices as you move through the ranks of the program.
6. Moral Leadership
Our country was founded on moral principles that have guided us through the years. Our youth of today need to develop their own set of principles that will help them become better leaders and followers as they prepare for their future military career. They will through Military Exploring.

Military Explorers have been around since the 1970's. Explorer Units specializes in Professional Military Education within several Branches.
U.S Military Branch Training is the way Military Explorer Units Train and Operate. Units are set up according to where the primary Instructors/Veterans & Commanders received most of their Military Experience from. The majority of the training curriculums throughout the units are simuliar, the philsophy and concept will vary since each of our military branches have different overall missions.
