RN to BSN Program
Cadets take part in the Leader's Training Course when they enter Army ROTC going into their junior year. This course, made up of four phases, allows Cadets to "catch up" to those who joined in their freshman or sophomore years. The first phase introduces Cadets to the Army and prepares them for the next three phases consisting of team building, leadership development and Field Training Exercises.
4 weeks, 4 phases, 4 those who want to lead!
Soldier First Phase- Upon arrival, cadets are immersed in the ways of the Army. They begin physical training (PT) and drill and ceremonies (D and C).
Warrior Leader Phase- Cadets build upon what they learned in the first phase and apply it to adventure training in the field. Cadets learn basic rifle marksmanship, land navigation, rappelling, and Combat Water Survival Training. This training provides physical challenges that tests cadets individually while developing teamwork skills.
Bold Leader Phase- In this phase, cadets learn squad level operations by taking part in demanding field exercises. Cadets will be called upon to lead every part of a combat exercise- from receiving the mission and analyzing the terrain to making a plan and attaining the objective. Cadets will receive feedback on their leadership abilities.
Future Leader Phase- Cadets in this fourth and final phase are given comprehensive guidance from their instructors to get a sense of their accomplishments over the past weeks.
