The Making of a Soldier | Future Officer Trains to Lead (Ep. 12)

Up to now we've been following enlisted troops as they learn the skills that'll turn them into effective Soldiers.
Now, we're giving you a chance to see what a future officer must learn in order to effectively lead those Soldiers in battle.
Kenia Mills takes us to Sand Hill to see what happens when an Officer Candidate is introduced to the stress of simulated combat for one day.

I think it's great that they are finally integrating initial entry Soldiers with our OCS cadets. I remember they were talking about this about 5 years ago, but wasn't around at all when I went through OCS. Good stuff.

Another great way to do this is via ROTC at any college/University that runs it.
