Army ROTC Advanced Camp is a 35-day training event designed to develop a Cadet’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills and to forge them into tough, adaptable leaders who can thrive in ambiguous and complex environments. Advanced Camp is the capstone leader development opportunity for all Cadets between their Military Science (MS) III and MS IV years of ROTC.
Advanced Camp focuses on problem-solving in an operational setting to develop leader competencies, which are intangible traits that allow leaders to thrive in challenging conditions. It consists of 10 regiments with more than 6,000 Cadets.
Cadets reinforce basic skills through squad (9-13 Cadets) level leader development exercises, and transition to platoon (40-50 Cadets) level operations in a company construct. Advanced Camp consists of four phases, mirroring a deployment to an allied country that requires U.S. assistance.
Outcomes for Advanced Camp include:
- Assessing organizational capabilities and limitations to increase team cohesion and operational effectiveness.
- Developing agile and adaptive leaders that solve problems and thrive in ambiguous, complex operating environments.
