Each summer, students from universities and colleges across the United States, travel to Fort Knox, Kentucky to take part in a 28-day leadership experience, Army ROTC’s Leader’s Training Course (LTC). This course is designed for students with little or no ROTC experience, have four or five semesters remaining in their degree program and are seriously considering Army ROTC. There is no commitment enrolling and attending LTC, however students will have to sign a contract to continue in the ROTC advanced course (junior and senior years). Qualified cadets who successfully complete LTC may be offered a full, two year scholarship.

Four Phases to LTC Graduation
The Soldier First Phase.
This is a Basic "introduction to the Army" to teach cadets skills and knowledge necessary to successfully participate in the next three phases. Cadets have described this phase as "teaching them what right looks like". Specifically, cadets learn military customs and courtesies such as saluting, how to wear the uniform and how to march.
The Warrior Leader Phase.
This part of their training covers adventure training, which builds both cadet self confidence and unit esprit-de-corps. Focus is on individual skills as a precursor to learning group dynamics. Cadets learn basic military skills in order to function as a small group member.
The Bold Leader Phase.
This phase is the course's "Capstone Exercise". Cadets are exposed to squad level operations where cadre assesses the cadet's leadership ability in a field environment. The Field Training Exercise is intentionally tough and introduces the element of stress. Throughout the exercise cadets encounter physical and mental obstacles that challenge them as a person, cadet and leader.
The Future Leader Phase.
This portion of the cadet's training introduces them to the social aspect of the Army. Final briefings are conducted as well as a Family Day in conjunction with a cadet run graduation ceremony.
