Emphasis in the laboratory will be placed primarily on position assessment and performance as a cadet non-commissioned officer and assisting the cadet officers and cadre with the instruction of Basic Course cadets during leadership laboratory or in ROTC extra-curricular activities. Students enrolled in this course are required to attend physical training three to five days per week, depending on their performance on the Army Physical Fitness Test.
