The cadets of B Company tackle a difficult obstacle in the Leadership Reaction Course at Camp Warrior. With the temperature near 100 degrees on Sunday, the cadets didn't really mind falling in the water.

While University of Kansas students are working, relaxing or taking a few classes this summer, 30 KU students in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps are becoming warriors.
Camp Warrior '88 began June 6 at Fort Riley. About 450 students from the United States and Puerto Rico arrive each week. By July 27, about 2,700 cadets will have graduated from the camp.
The physical training is grueling, with calisthenics and running as early as 5:30 a.m. Amid the heat, dust and insects, there's never a dull minute.
"What are you looking at?" an officer screams an inch from a cadet's face.

Although the camp is voluntary, students in the ROTC program must complete it before they can enter active duty as officers in the U.S. Army. Otherwise, they become enlisted soldiers.
During their 42-day stay at Camp Forsyth, a part of Fort Riley, the cadets receive intensive leadership training and evaluation.
"The cadets here are treated as potential officers, although they go through some stuff they would if they were in boot camp," said Maj E.T. Magdziac, an instructor of military air force at the University of Puerto Rico.
There is a significant difference between Camp Warrior and training camp for enlisted men.
"Nothing, sir!" a cadet hollers back.
Leadership and safety are stressed throughout the program. Before each exercise, a commanding officer instructs the cadets in the safety precautions they should take during it.
"We assign a risk factor to each
exercise”,” Magdziac said. “There are a lot of variables that can affect the safety. The heat is one. As it goes up, so does the risk factor.”

kickoff test to test
the cadets' understaffing.

The cadets, each a member of a 10-man unit, are assigned to complete 12 problems. Their goal is to finish in the least time with the greatest amount of safety precautions.
While one unit tries to cross a simulated river with 55-gallon drums, another unit attempts to escape from a simulated prison complete with a moat and a siren that sounds when it detects movement.
Almost all the problems involve water obstacles, and when the temperature hovers around 100 degrees most cadets fall happily fully clothed into the water.
At each problem there is an instructor who evaluates the cadets and gives them safety instructions. After the completion of the exercise, each cadet is evaluated for initiative, delegation, problem analysis, judgment and other leadership attributes.
William Wagner, Lawrence senior,
completed the course and said he
"It's not bad here," he said. "I'm learning a lot, but I'm looking forward to going home and partying with my friends."
The cadets don't get much free time. They're up at 5 a.m. and busy most of the day. Occasionally, between tear-gas training and repelling off 50-foot towers, the cadets find themselves without an official assignment. This is called commander's time.

A cadet leader waits with his company for orders to begin another day's training. The cadets were participating in the Army ROTC Leadership Reaction Course at Fort Riley on Sunday.
"I usually shine my boots and clean the barracks when we get some free time," Wagner said.
