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. Advanced Camp is intentionally tough and introduces stress. The days are long with considerable night training and no days off in short, a tough camp. Throughout the five weeks cadets encounter physical and mental obstacles which challenge them as a person, soldier, and leader.
Cadets gain self-confidence through accomplishment of tough training.
Platoon competition develops collective cohesion from individual performance. Training at camp uses small unit tactical training as the vehicle for evaluating cadet potential to server as a commissioned officer. Training is sequenced at Advanced Camp in a logical, building - block manner. The cadet regiments report to camp on separate dates. This tiered approach allows an ideal flow of training, which is maintained for each cycle.
