UW-La Crosse Army ROTC

Following the completion of Advanced Camp at the end of their junior year (and occasionally prior to the Leadership Development and Assesment Course!) cadets are eligible to apply for selected Army training. This training is perfect for cadets who wish to experience the Army firsthand.

AIRBORNE TRAINING: The US Army Airborne School, located at Ft. Benning, Georgia, is available to cadets that are enrolled in the program. The course is three weeks long, consisting of a ground week, tower week and jump week. With each week comes different types of training designed to teach you to parachute from airplanes and helicopters. It is an exciting non-stop course that will push you to the limit. By graduation all students will make five airplane jumps! Congratulations to our 2006 graduates: CDT Draper & CDT Morris
AIR ASSAULT TRAINING: Air Assault training is available at different Army posts across the country. It is a 10 day course that consists of physical training, sling load training, rappelling and a 12 mile road march. This is a tough course that will exhaust you both physically and mentally, but in the long run it will be worth every ounce of energy you put into it! Congratulations to our 2006 graduate: CDT Peterson
NORTHERN WARFARE TRAINING: Northern Warfare training will train you how to survive in the worst of conditions. It also trains you in the art of moving and conducting missions in all types of weather and on all types of terrain. This course is not for the faint of heart; if you land a spot at Northern Warfare School you'd better be prepared.
CADET TROOP LEADER TRAINING (CTLT): CTLT increases each cadet's leadership experience. Cadets are assigned to a platoon leader position in a regular active duty Army unit and given an opportunity to lead soldiers. It provides cadets with first hand experience with the command, training, administration, and logistical functions of active duty units. It also exposes cadets to the on-duty and off-duty environment of the junior officer. Congratulations to our 2006 graduates: CDT Kuester (Korea) & CDT Schlachter (Germany).
Nurse Summer Training Program (NSTP): NSTP is a clinical elective offered at Army hospitals in the United States and Germany. NSTP is a paid elective attended during the summer between your junior and senior years of college. It gives you the opportunity to develop both your leadership and nursing skills. It will introduce you to the Army Medical Department and the roles and responsibilities of an Army Nurse Corps officer. Congratulations to our 2006 graduates: ~ CDT Hansen E. (Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii) ~ CDT Hansen S. (Walter Reed Army Hospital in Maryland) ~ CDT McInnis (Fort Bliss, Texas).
