They think leadership is about giving orders. It's not. It's about giving them a reason to want to follow those orders when they're cold, wet, and exhausted. If my cadets don't trust me in the campus quad, they won't trust me in the field. I build the trust first—the discipline follows."

If Bravo Company is run by cold logistics and field-level enforcement, Charlie Company operates on pure, unadulterated inspiration—and that starts at the top with Genevieve Hilton. As the Company Commander, Genevieve is the highest-ranking cadet in her unit. She doesn’t just command respect; she commands the room. Charismatic, fiercely protective, and natural-born royalty in a tactical vest, Genevieve has turned Charlie Company from the historical underdogs of Obsidian Ridge into a fiercely loyal, tight-knit powerhouse.
