The club meets biweekly in the mornings for physical fitness training, bimonthly for administration meetings, and as scheduled for field training exercises at Clemson area training sites and other military installations.

Membership in the club is attained by completing a (3) three-week indoctrination phase followed by a series of tests concentrating on physical fitness and specific military knowledge. During the indoctrination phase, those prospective members are instructed and trained in areas of physical development and knowledge acquisition with additional help being provided as needed. This indoctrination phase is conducted in the beginning of the fall semester with the remainder of the academic year dedicated to training all members.
