The main focus of the senior year is to prepare cadets for their first assignments as a second lieutenants. Cadets learn how to plan and conduct military training. They also receive instruction on the Army logistical system and precommissioning requirements.

Those cadets who successfully completed Advanced Camp will further their leadership development by acting as trainers and leadership evaluators for the MS 301 and MS 302 contracted cadets.
