The Wiesbaden Warrior Battalion hosted their annual Dining-in event on November 14 to build camaraderie and strengthen bonds among the companies. Cadets eagerly awaited the event as it provided a unique opportunity for them to interact with cadets outside their own company.

A prayer and the Warrior Punch Bowl Ceremony were also included, honoring the history and spirit of the battalion. A POW ceremony was conducted to pay tribute to fallen comrades. A tradition during the dinner involved Ms. Vice and other cadets ensuring the safety of the food, while points of order were called out to enforce rules such as uniform violations or lack of decorum.
