Cadet officers learn the basic duties and responsibilities of a commissioned officer by leading in either an active Army unit during CTLT or in a West Point detail cadre position. They set the example for all subordinates by establishing, attaining, maintaining, and exhibiting sound goals, standards of behavior, and values within the organization. They develop subordinates in such a fashion as to foster teamwork, cohesion, and the desire to excel in all areas of endeavor. In CTLT, the cadet is evaluated by the officer chain of command in his/her unit and receives a MD400 grade of Pass/Fail. For West Point Details, the First Class cadet is evaluated by the cadet chain of command and company Tactical Officer and receives a grade for MD400, which is a numerically weighted average of the submitted grades.
