Contracted cadets participate in one 24-hour field training exercise, 81.5 hour leadership labs, weekly physical training and weapons familiarization. The curriculum for the second semester is designed to build on the leadership theory that was presented in MLTY 301. Tactical operations focus on platoon level operations. Detailed instruction includes training management, land navigation, leadership skill and ethics. 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. A highlight of this semester is a block of instruction examining the ethics and professionalism of the officer corps. 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. The cadet's final semester centers around military law and additional skills required as a professional officer. Each cadet prepares and presents several oral presentations.
