Leadership Laboratory is a cadet-centered program taken each year to improve a student's leadership skills. Cadets will attend Field Training during the summer between their sophomore and junior years, and before entering the Professional Officer Course—POC—portion of the program. Field Training, which takes place at an Air Force base, offers cadets a first-hand look at the Air Force environment.
