The Raider Team is a military skills team and is the most physically demanding of the teams. Raider Team members form a strong bond through peer motivation and working out together in preparation for team events. Each member is pushed to do their best and not to give up, even if the going gets tough. The team captain and co-captain are voted on by the entire team at the beginning of the Raider season.
Raiders compete against other teams by scoring as high as they can on an Army Physical Fitness Test(APFT), which includes two minutes of continuous push ups, two minutes of sit ups, and a two mile run.
After the two mile run. they complete a land-navigation course, build and cross a one-rope-bridge between to points, and take a written exam on JROTC-specific questions.
At the end of every competition the teams all form together and run a staggered 5k road march (approx 3.3 miles). There, everyone works together by supporting each other to complete the 5 kilometers as fast as possible.

The Rifle team teaches skills in patience and concentration in an environment that students find engaging. In order to be safe, cadets are required to get a perfect score on a written safety test, and follow strict instructions from (ret)SGM Bruno. In order to do well, cadets must have the patience and concentration to line up a perfect shot.
Cadets are taken to the range in the school building where they shoot at targets with CO2 pellet rifles in the standing, kneeling, and prone positions. Their highest scores are added up to see if they pass scores required for the Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert badges.

The Army JROTC VEX Robotics team at the White Mountains Regional High School is a brand new team that started at the beginning of SY 2019-20. The purpose of the VEX Robotics team is to offer an opportunity for cadets to participate in an integrative hands-on program, which includes career and technical education (CTE), science, and digital media concepts, in building a partially-autonomous and remote-controlled robot. Our main goal is to encourage and to expose students to activities that relate directly to careers in math and science related fields such as engineering, computer science, graphics, CAD, video production, and web-page design. By participating in the VEX Robotics competitions, cadets learn valuable engineering skills. They also gain important life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, communication, collaboration, project management, problem solving and critical thinking skills. VEX Robotics competitions also provide networking opportunities for our students, as they engage with peers and professionals across New England.
