Cadet Summer Training is held at Fort Knox, Kentucky and other locations throughout the United States. This year, 5,000 Army instructors will mentor three regiments of Basic Camp and 11 regiments of Advanced Camp Cadets during CST.
This training is divided into:
Basic Camp is a 30-day training event designed to introduce Cadets to the Army Profession. The training focuses on developing leadership skills and building the foundation of a future officer. Basic Camp affords Cadets the opportunity to receive credit for the freshman and sophomore year ROTC courses if they decided to join Army ROTC later in their college career.
Advanced Camp is a 35-day capstone event that assesses Cadets between their third and fourth years on their proficiency in leadership, Soldier tasks, and battle drills at the squad and platoon level. Cadets must pass Advanced Camp to commission as second lieutenants.
