FORT LEWIS, Wash. -- The U.S. Army Cadet Command's Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as Operation Warrior Forge, is the most important training event for an Army ROTC cadet hoping to become a U.S. Army officer.
The 29-day training event, held during the summer at Fort Lewis, Wash., incorporates a wide range of subjects and activities designed to develop and evaluate a cadet's leadership ability. The challenges are rigorous and demanding, both mentally and physically. Warrior Forge 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.
For some, graduation from the course is the final step in an effort to become an Army lieutenant, and they're commissioned on the parade field at the graduation ceremony. The rest will return to their respective colleges or universities to complete their academic requirements.
