Cadet Troop Leader Training (CTLT)
Location: Bases All over the Globe
CTLT provides select Advanced Camp graduates the opportunity to increase their leadership experience by
assignments to platoon leader or like positions with Active Army units or with government agencies for
three weeks (CONUS) to four weeks (OCONUS). You may also find yourself anywhere in the country,
or overseas, involved in the Cadet Troop Leadership Training Program. This internship program places
you in actual Army units acting as a real Lieutenant. This two or three week challenge is a definite
learning experience, allowing you to gain a perspective on what you will be facing as future officer.
Generally, you are placed in a platoon leader position, leading 30+ soldiers and responsible for millions
of dollars of equipment. You receive a rate of pay and allowance similar to that at LDAC, you stay
at the Bachelor Officer Quarters on that specific base, you train and lead soldiers, and receive an OER
upon completion of the program. If you are assigned to a unit on jump status, and you are already airborne
qualified, you may participate in unit jumps on a permissive basis if approved in advance. CTLT is the
best way to familiarize yourself with a branch before having to choose your branch preferences
during the accessions process at the beginning of the MS IV year.
