MSC 2910 - Leader’s Training Course (LTC)


Leader’s Training Course (LTC) is four weeks of intense classroom and field training held in the summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky. By transforming yourself through this rigorous training, you will qualify for enrollment in the Army ROTC Advanced Course. At LTC you experience the Army firsthand by developing your potential in the most important of ways-mentally, physically and emotionally. You will be grouped into squads where you will gain experience in all leadership roles-culminating in verbal and written feedback on your improvement. You will also receive a stipend, transportation to and from Fort Knox, housing and meals. The first phase begins with Physical Training (PT) and Drill and Ceremony (D&C) which instill self-discipline and prepare you for the rigors and challenges of the upcoming weeks. The second phase builds on the basics Cadets have learned by extending into adventure training in the field. Combat Water Survival Training, rappelling, land navigation and marksmanship training provide physical challenges that test Cadets individually while developing teamwork skills. In the third phase, Cadets learn squad-level operations by taking part in demanding field exercises.
