All ROTC cadets must complete Advanced Camp prior to receiving a commission. Advanced Camp is normally attended the summer between the junior and senior year.
Cadets spend five weeks applying the leadership and tactical skills they acquired on campus.
Advanced Camp is the single most important block of training in the career of the Army cadet. It is often the first exposure to the Active Army and it is the only arena where cadets from various college campuses undergo a common, high quality training experience. Cadet Command's mission is to Commission the future leaders of the US Army. Within that framework the camp mission is to Train cadets to Army standards, Develop leadership and Evaluate officer potential. Throughout the five weeks cadets encounter physical and mental obstacles which challenge them as a person, soldier, and leader.
