Leadership Training Course
The Leader’s Training Course, formerly known as
Basic Camp or “Camp Challenge”, is a fully paid,
twenty-eight day training camp located at Fort
Knox, Kentucky. The course is normally attended
by students between the sophomore and junior
years of college who are interested in pursuing
an officer commission in the United States Army.
This is where you’ll learn basic military skills
through hands-on training while acquiring
knowledge that other cadets may have gained
through two years of on-campus ROTC classroom and leadership lab training or prior military service.
Whether it's business, politics or the military you'll need leadership skills and traits to be successful.
Not only must you possess these skills and traits but you must be competent. Competence
is the key. Without leadership competence you'll lack the confidence to handle stressful, challenging,
tough situations.
The Leader's Training Course offers you some very special skills while simultaneously presenting
you a combination of mental and physical challenges -- challenges that are specifically
designed to bring out your leadership potential. It's full of adventure, excitement and it's fun.
An added benefit is the opportunity it provides to meet many other college students and
establish some valuable and potentially lifelong relationships. In many ways, this course will
raise your leadership stock in an amazingly short period of time -- twenty-eight days.
You may attend the Leader’s Training Course if you:
- Have not completed Military Science I and II
- Are medically qualified to attend
- Are a junior or community college graduate admitted to any ROTC school and

- Are a graduate student starting a two-year program
- Are a U.S. citizen under 30 years of age

- Opportunity to qualify for the ROTC advanced course and an eventual officer
commission in the U.S. Army
