Cadet Initial Entry Training (CIET)

CIET is a recent addition to the Army ROTC summer training requirements.  CIET will take place in the summer either between a cadets Freshman and Sophomore year or between their Sophomore and Junior year.  Similar to Basic Training, CIET will train cadets on many basic soldier skills ensuring cadets across the country have the same foundation knowledge to be successful with the remainder of their Army ROTC training.

At this time, only select cadets are attending CIET as the course is being established.  Please contact the CWU Army ROTC Recruiting Operations Officer for more information on who will be required to attend CIET.

Cadet Leadership Course (CLC)

The ROTC Cadet Leadership Course (CLC) is a critical training event for an Army ROTC cadet. It is the second of two required summer training events to complete Army ROTC.  The 33-day training event incorporates a wide range of subjects designed to develop leadership ability. The challenges are rigorous and demanding, both mentally and physically. CST 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.
