Training at camp uses small unit tactical training as the vehicle for evaluation cadet potential to server as a commissioned officer. The cadet regiments report to camp on separate dates. Training covers basic military skills in individual and squad levels needed for the tactical exercises. Training culminates with tactics instruction at the platoon level.
Evaluation is constant and begins shortly after the cadet arrives.
The tactical officers and NCOs advise, coach, and ultimately, render an official evaluation of the cadet's potential to serve as an officer.
