The 28 day leader’s Training Course is conducted during the summer at Fort Knox, Kentucky and it consists of three phases - the “Future leader’ phase, “Bold leader” phase and “Discover Gold” phase. During the “Future Leader” phase you’ll rappel, participate in a leadership reaction course, learn water survival and stream crossing techniques, first aid, weapons and how to navigate on land using a map and compass during the day and night. You’ll be challenged physically throughout this entire phase. You’ll learn when to lead and when and how to follow. During phase two, the “Bold Leader” phase we’ll teach you small unit tactics. We’ll put you through a self confidence building obstacle course, rock climbing, paintball and the tarzan assault course. With your newly established confidence in water survival you’ll participate in small boat or raft operations. Additionally, this phase highlights the importance of teamwork and a balanced lifestyle of work and recreation. Finally, during the “Discover Gold” phase you’ll participate in some very entertaining social events, a family day and the culmination of the course - the graduation ceremony.

MIL 401 - Advanced Leadership w/Lab Credits 3
Lecture
This semester of the Advanced Course concentrates on leadership, management, and ethics and begins the final transition from cadet to lieutenant. The course focuses cadets, early in the year, on attaining knowledge and proficiency in several critical areas they will need to operate effectively as Army officers. These areas include: coordinate activities with staffs, counseling theory and practice within the “Army context”, training management, and ethics. The introduction of these subjects early in the MS IV year has the added benefit of preparing cadets to lead the cadet battalion throughout the remainder of the year. While the proficiency attained in each of these areas will initially be at the apprentice level, cadets will continue to sharpen these skills as they perform their roles as cadet officers in the battalion and after commissioning. At the end of this semester, cadets should possess the fundamental skills, attributes, and abilities to operate as competent leaders in the cadet battalion and confidently communicate to subordinate cadets their preparedness to shoulder the responsibilities entrusted to them. This course additionally includes a Leadership Lab which will reinforce the lessons learned in the classroom. The Military Science Basic Course is a prerequisite for all 300 and 400 level courses.
