Rudio completes ‘Operation Warrior Forge 9
Michael C. Rudio has graduated from the
Army ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps)
Leader Development and Assessment Course,
also known as “Operation Warrior Forge,” at
Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Wash.
Rudio is the son of John R and Chris M.
Rudio, Maysville, and is a graduate of Jackson
County Comprehensive High School.
The 32 days of training provide the best pos
sible professional training and evaluation for all
cadets in the aspects of military life, administra
tion and logistical support. Although continued
military training and leadership development is
included in the curriculum, the primary focus
of the course is to develop and evaluate each
cadet’s officer potential as a leader by exercis
ing the cadet’s intelligence, common sense,
ingenuity and physical stamina. The cadet
command assesses each cadet’s performance
and progress in officer traits, qualities and pro
fessionalism while attending the course.
Cadets in their junior and senior year of
college must complete the leadership develop
ment course. Upon successful completion of
the course, the ROTC program, and gradua
tion from college, cadets are commissioned as
second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National
Guard or Reserve.
