How do cadets demonstrate knowledge during an inspection?

Cadets demonstrate knowledge during an inspection primarily by answering questions about uniform regulations and naval protocol. This is crucial in a military environment, where understanding and adhering to regulations ensures discipline and order. Inspections are designed to assess not just the physical appearance of the cadet but also their understanding of the rules and systems in place within the NJROTC framework. Knowledge of uniform regulations reflects a cadet's attention to detail, commitment to the program, and their ability to follow orders and protocols, which are fundamental characteristics of military training and culture.

Other options, while valuable in the broader context of personal development and teamwork, do not specifically indicate the necessary knowledge required during an inspection. Physical skills in sports, participation in team-building exercises, and leading group discussions are important aspects of a cadet's experience but do not pertain directly to the assessment of military knowledge and readiness evaluated during inspections.
