WARRIOR FORGE (LDAC)

Warrior Forge (previously known as Advanced Camp or the National Advanced Leadership Course) is a required training event for Army ROTC Cadets striving to earn their commission as Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, Army Reserve and National Guard. Cadets attend Warrior Forge the summer between their junior and senior years. The 30-day camp, held at Fort Lewis, Washington, incorporates 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.
