MSC 3910 - Leader Development and Assessment Course


The mission of the Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) is to train U.S. Army ROTC Cadets to Army standards and to develop leadership and evaluate officer potential. This is accomplished through a tiered training structure using light infantry tactics as the instructional medium over a 28 day period. The Warrior Forge training program is sequential and progressive. It starts with individual training and leads to collective training, building from simple to complex tasks. This building-block approach permits integration of previously-learned skills into follow-on training. This logical, common-sense training sequence is maintained for each training cycle. Every day at LDAC is a day of training. Some of the major training events include the Army Physical Fitness Test, land navigation, weapons training, confidence building, and small unit leadership evaluations.
