Comprised of 10 different obstacles, the Field Leaders Reaction Course is more than an obstacle course. Each obstacle is designed to test participants mentally and physically, stretching them beyond their comfort zones. The FLRC develops thinking under pressure, evaluates leadership and builds trust. Participants must demonstrate initiative, teamwork and common sense while negotiating difficult physical obstacles. Leadership potential is assessed, and participants receive feedback on their leadership strengths, weaknesses and techniques.

It is a short walk from campus, making training convenient for the Army ROTC cadets — the future United States Army officers.
