Albanian Officer Candidates Stela Brahaj, left, and Endri Deda advance on a defended position during a rescue training mission at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, , June 26, 2014. During a three-day field leadership exercise, members of Albanian Officer Candidate Class 001 were evaluated by the platoon training officers on their leadership potential. During the exercise, the candidates performed various situational training exercises including assault, recon and ambush. Situational training exercises are short, scenario-driven, mission-oriented exercises designed to train one collective task, or a group of related tasks or battle drills, through practice.

The 12-week NJARNG OCS program is modeled after the active-duty program at Fort Benning, Ga. and includes classroom instruction, physical and leadership training.
