MSC 3610 - Leadership Development and Assessment Course

Credits: 6 hrs
This course is 24 hours a day 33-day course in Fort Lewis, WA covering a wide range of subjects designed to develop and evaluate leadership ability. The challenges are rigorous and demanding, both mentally and physically. LDAC tests intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and stamina. These challenges provide a new perspective on an individual’s ability to perform exacting tasks and to make difficult decisions in demanding situations. The camp places each cadet in a variety of leadership positions, many of which simulate stressful combat situations. In each position, cadets are evaluated by platoon tactical and counseling officers and noncommissioned officers. In addition to proving their leadership ability, cadets must meet established standards in physical fitness, weapons training, communication, combat patrols and demonstrate their proficiency in various other military skills and situations. Cadets must excel at camp to be considered competitive for a commission as an Army officer.
Pre-requisite(s): MSC 3205 and MSC 3206.
