MIL 3500 - Cadet Summer Training Advanced Camp (CST)

(6)
The Cadet Summer Training Advanced Camp is the premier leadership program of its kind in the United States.  The purpose of this intense four-week course is to train U.S. Army ROTC Cadets to Army standards, to develop their leadership skills, and to evaluate their officer potential.  Most Army Cadets attend Advanced Camp between their junior and senior undergraduate years after having contracted to join the Army.  Successful completion of Advanced Camp is a prerequisite to becoming an Army officer through ROTC.  This 29-day leader internship is taught as an off-campus extension course each summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky.  It is open to students who have a minimum of 72 semester hours and at least two semesters of degree work remaining (undergraduate or graduate) after completion of the course.  The Army provides transportation to and from Fort Knox.  Students receive free room and board and are paid for their attendance.  The course starts with individual training and leads to collective training, building from simple to complex tasks.  This building-block approach permits integration of previously-learned skills into follow-on training.  This logical, common-sense training sequence is maintained for each training cycle.  Every day at Advanced Camp is a day of training.  Graduation from Advanced Camp is one of the final steps Cadets make in their transition to becoming an Officer. 

Prerequisite: ROTC Departmental approval.
