Army ROTC Grad
Nicholas J. Morgida, a 2011 graduate of Groton Dunstable Regional High School, graduated from Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) Leader Development and Assessment Course, "Operation Warrior Forge," at Fort Knox, Ky.
29 days of training provide professional training and evaluation for cadets in aspects of military life, administration and logistical support. Although continued military training and leadership development is included in the curriculum, primary focus is to develop and evaluate cadet's officer potential as a leader by exercising cadet's intelligence, common sense, ingenuity and physical stamina. Cadet command assesses each cadet's performance and progress in officer traits, qualities and professionalism.
Cadets in junior and senior year of college must complete the course. Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program, and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National Guard, or Reserve.
