Army ROTC
Summer Training
 
MOUNTAIN WARFARE SCHOOL
The Mountain Warfare School is a two-week course conducted by the Vermont Army National Guard at Ethan Allen Firing Range, in Jerico, Vermont. Both a summer and a winter phase are offered. The course is designed to develop train the leadership and technical skills needed by Army personnel to perform mountaineering tasks in a realistic mountain environment. It provides students with the practical, hands-on experience in the application of tactics and techniques effective for mountain operations. Because of the extremely limited number of slots to this training, cadets can only earn a chance to attend this school through outstanding performance in the program coupled with a demonstrated desire to pursue a military career which would utilize these special skills.
BASIC MOUNTAINEERING COURSE (NWTC)
This course is 2 weeks long with emphasis on mobility in mountainous terrain, on glaciers, and inland waterways. The Northern Warfare Training Center (NWTC) is located at Fort Greeley, AK. Course work is in three categories: general subjects such as first aid, geography, and climatology, military mountaineering, and inland waterway navigation. Cadets desiring to attend the BMC must be contracted, have successfully completed the Army Physical Fitness Test (17-21 year category) and the combat army swim test within 30 days of the course start date. You must be in excellent physical shape to attend the course. It entails extensive rucksack marching and hill climbing.

CADET TROOP LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) offers the MS III cadet the opportunity to perform the duties of a Second Lieutenant for up to one month with an active duty unit. Actual duties performed will vary by branch and unit but will generally be those duties expected of a Second Lieutenant in that unit. Many cadets will serve as either platoon leaders or assistant platoon leaders. Cadets desiring to attend CTLT must be in top physical condition and present a good military appearance. CTLT is open only to MS III cadets who attend National Advance Leadership Camp (NALC) the same Summer. Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP) cadets may not participate in CTLT; however, they may attend annual training with their National Guard / Reserve unit provided it does not conflict with the National Advance Leadership Camp.
