lintasnusa.com – With grit, discipline, and determination, Platoon 5 “VANGUARD”, Class 009-25, has officially completed the Pick-Up phase, marking the start of their journey through the training cycle. Over the past two weeks, these #DrillSergeantCandidates have been tested—physically, mentally, and emotionally—through the rigors of the initial stages of the program.
Their first challenge: the intense 72-hour initiation, a period that set the tone for what’s to come. They followed that with a series of milestone events designed to forge cohesion, confidence, and resilience:
-
Defender Pick-Up
-
Confidence Obstacle Course
-
Team Development Course
-
Victory Tower
-
Fit-to-Win Program
Each phase has pushed them beyond perceived limits, reinforcing the leadership values, commitment, and warrior spirit demanded of those who will soon bear the title of Drill Sergeant.

With the VANGUARD streamer now proudly displayed on their guide-on, these candidates have earned more than a symbol—they’ve earned their place in a legacy. That streamer signifies not just a name, but a declaration: VANGUARD leads from the front.

“The standard has been set. The cycle has begun.” This mantra now echoes through the ranks as Platoon 5 moves forward with purpose. They are no longer merely candidates. They are VANGUARD, and they are here to raise the bar—not just to meet expectations, but to surpass them.
As the training continues, each candidate is reminded: this journey is about more than individual endurance—it’s about transformation, leadership, and the responsibility to shape the future force. And as VANGUARD charges forward, one thing is certain:
They will not follow. They will lead.
VANGUARD – Leading from the Front.
