Lateral Entry Cadets typically decide to join ROTC in their sophomore year of college. They attend Basic Camp to learn what normal-progression Cadets learned in their first two years of military science (MS) classes. 

  • Advanced Camp:  After their junior year, ALL Cadets will attend one of 10 Advanced Camp Regiments. This is a commissioning requirement and Cadets are evaluated on their leadership skills and knowledge of Army Tactical Tasks and Warrior Skills.
