Training Opportunities
Army ROTC is widely regarded as the best leadership course in the world.
Opportunities for specialized training are available, giving Army Cadets exciting, challenging, experiences that most people never get. These training programs provide a deeper look into what it means to lead America’s Soldiers.
After their third year, Cadets attend CST, previously known as Cadet Leadership Course (CLC), Warrior Forge, or the National Advanced Leadership Course. Successful completion of CST is required for all Army ROTC Cadets prior to being commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, Army Reserve, or the National Guard.
The training incorporates a wide range of subjects designed to develop and assess Cadets’ leadership abilities. We often call it the "Super Bowl of ROTC" because it is here that Cadets put all of the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their first three years to the test.
Basic Camp allows students to enter the Army ROTC Two-Year Advanced Course without any prior military or ROTC experience. Basic Camp catches students up on what they would have learned in their first two years in the Basic Course, providing the necessary training to ensure success during the last two years of Army ROTC.
While at Basic Camp, students will be observed and assessed on their Officer potential while experiencing exciting adventure training such as rappelling and obstacle course training. This is a great opportunity for students who are interested in gaining leadership experience, meeting new people and, most importantly, learning more about themselves.
