42 COW YEAR Cadet Leader Development Training—CLDT The purpose of CLDT is to prepare cadets for tactical leadership positions at the platoon level. Military Leadership 300 is the capstone military training event at West Point and ensures that cadets leaving the Military Academy have the aptitude required to lead soldiers upon commissioning. Successful completion is a graduation requirement for First-Class cadets and selected Second Class cadets (assessed by their chain of command to have suitable proficiency in Military Science and individual skills). Success in CLDT relies on individual preparation and the leadership attributes of decisiveness, adaptability, and strength of character. In a series of tactical scenarios that refect the Decisive Action Training Environment (DATE), cadets experience a minimum of two leadership positions, which provide the cadet with a common experience to further enhance his/her leadership ability.
