This summer, members of WKU Army ROTC’s Hilltopper Battalion prepared to lead from the top at the annual Cadet Summer Training (CST) at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
For contracted MSIII cadets aiming to commission as a 2nd lieutenant upon graduation, successfully completing the Advanced Camp at CST is a requirement. It is a rigorous experience designed to challenge cadets and push them to their limits.
“It’s meant to mold you into a better leader and develop mental and physical strength while under lots of pressure,” said senior Jacob Sutherland, who is majoring in nursing.
