USAFA Cadets Conduct BCT Assault Course July 16, 2025
July 14, 2025 - Basic cadet trainees from the Class of 2029 complete the Assault Course in Jacks Valley during the second phase of Basic Cadet Training (BCT) at the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The second phase of BCT is designed to push cadets to their physical limits to build self-confidence, teamwork skills, tactical, and firearms training. The first of many challenges at the U.S. Air Force Academy is Basic Cadet Training (BCT). This is a six-week education program to guide the transformation of new cadets, also known as basic cadets, from being civilians to military academy cadets prepared to enter a four-year officer commissioning program. With a commitment to pushing physical, emotional and mental limits, basic cadets will develop into highly disciplined, physically fit fourth-class cadets (freshman), ready to be accepted into the Cadet Wing. Basic Cadet Training is split into two distinct phases. Image created by USA Patriotism! from U.S. Air Force Academy photos by Trevor Cokley.
