LIHU‘E — Douglas P. Low, son of John H. Low of Puhi, graduated from the Army ROTC Leader Development and Assessment Course, also known as “Operation Warrior Forge,” at Fort Lewis, Tacoma, Wash.
The 32 days of training provides the best possible professional training and evaluation for all cadets in the aspects of military life, administration and logistical support, a press release states.
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 exercising 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 professionalism while attending the course.
Cadets in their junior and senior years of college must complete the leadership-development course.
Upon successful completion of the course, the ROTC program and graduation from college, cadets are commissioned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army, National Guard or Reserve.
The cadet is a student at Arizona State University, Tempe.
He is the son of John H. Low of Kaneka Street in Puhi and Xantha P. Toms of Somerton, Ariz.
Low graduated in 2001 from Cibola High School, Yuma, Ariz., and received an associate’s degree in 2006 from Mesa Community College, Ariz.
