By the end of the training, each Cadet is capable of applying life-saving first aid techniques to ensure battle buddy survivability on the modern battlefield. Cadets are prepared for future collective training and have confidence in their weapon systems.Ĭadets are trained on selected first aid tasks. After a Cadet has qualified on his or her assigned weapon, upon completion of all BRM training.
Cadets receive training in order to conduct zero/qualification with the M4/M16A2 rifle, to gain confidence in their assigned weapon and in their training by engaging targets on the range. The Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) training familiarizes Cadets with select US weapons, capabilities and employment techniques. Cadets demonstrate confidence in their ability to overcome fear of heights by executing the confidence/obstacle course, log walk/rope drop and slide for life. At the rappelling site, each Cadet executes one 70-foot rappel and several 37-foot rappels. Confidence training is designed to challenge the Cadets' physical courage, build confidence in personal abilities, and help them overcome fear. This includes rappel training, the slide for life, log walk/rope drop, and confidence and obstacle courses. Cadets are also taught advanced land navigation skills and associated tasks, which include mounted land navigation, range estimation, terrain analysis, and call for fire Cadets demonstrate their ability to perform basic land navigation skills during day and night conditions on a verified course in varied terrain. The land navigation training outcomes develop, assess and train Cadets in basic dismounted land navigation skills. Cadets are also briefed on the importance of physical training as a part of a comprehensive individual combat readiness plan. The Cadets receive a calibrated assessment of their ability to pass the Army Physical Fitness test consisting of two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups and a 2 Mile Run. The Army physical fitness test (APFT) provides an accurate assessment of each Cadet's fitness level. They must exceed the standards in APFT, confidence courses, land navigation, marksmanship, first aid, CBRN, and the 12-mile foot march. The RECONDO badge is awarded to Cadets who display superior skills at Advanced Camp. The deployment phase transitions the Cadet platoons from rehearsing Soldier tasks and battle drills into platoon-level exercises against a fully resourced, 'near peer' opposing force (OPFOR).Ĭadets receive a Cadet Officer Evaluation Report (COER), discuss successes and opportunities for their final year of ROTC, graduate, and redeploy to their homes. Phase I (Reception, Staging & Onward Movement)Ĭonsists of senior leader briefs, physical readiness training, cognitive exams, the 'Road to War' briefs, and rules of engagement (ROE) – all necessary for a successful mission.įocuses on team building that occurs through the physical training, Field Leaders' Reaction Course (FLRC), basic skills reinforcement in squad level exercises, land navigation, rifle marksmanship, confidence course/rappelling, counter-IED (improvised explosive device) training, and cross cultural competencies. The Occupational Physical Assessment Test, or OPAT, will be the test of record for Advanced Camp Cadets.Īdvanced Camp is divided into five phases: Prior to attending Advanced Camp, Cadets receive intelligence updates, preparing them for the geo-political environment to which they will deploy and operate.Īll Cadets and Cadre attending CST this summer must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Cadets reinforce basic skills through squad (9-13 Cadets) level leader development exercises, and transition to platoon (40-50 Cadets) level operations in a company construct. Training is complex, challenging, and rigorous and is conducted in a stressful training environment. It is the most significant training and evaluation event in ROTC. The mission of Advanced Camp is to assess a Cadet's potential to serve as a commissioned officer. Successful completion of the Advanced Camp is a prerequisite for commissioning. Cadets are mentally and physically tested during a 12-day consequence driven field training exercise that replicates a combat training center rotation. Cadets are evaluated on their ability to lead at the Squad and Platoon levels, both in garrison and tactical environments.
