    Members of the District of Columbia National Guard teach rappelling operations to Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) cadets from schools across Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia during the JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge (JCLC) Camp Glory at Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, June 13-19, 2026. By sharing military skills, building confidence, and mentoring young leaders through hands-on experiences, the D.C. National Guard reinforces its commitment to leadership development, community engagement, and service beyond the mission. Opportunities like Camp Glory strengthen the connection between the Guard and the communities it serves while inspiring the next generation to lead with courage, character, and resilience.

One person in camouflage uniform and orange helmet is actively rappelling down the exterior wall while three others on the ground assist with rope management and safety. The setting appears to be an outdoor training facility with a rubberized base pad and surrounding vegetation.
    An instructor in a black shirt and multicam pants assists a JROTC cadet wearing an orange safety helmet and rappelling harness. The interaction appears to be a pre-activity equipment check or instruction session, likely before a rappelling or climbing exercise. The setting is an outdoor training area with a concrete pad, metal structure, and vehicles visible in the background.
