The United States Military Academy at West Point is home to future leaders of the U.S. Army. But before they can lead, they must be tested. Cadet Leadership and Development Training (CLDT) is a crucible designed to forge resilience, sharpen decision-making and reveal the true character of command under pressure.

Join us for an in-depth conversation led by Dr. Frank Luntz with the next generation of Army officers. Hear their stories of lessons learned in the unforgiving environment of CLDT, and how they plan to carry that hard-won knowledge forward.
