I heard about that. I was at Knox in 2018 as the guest of the new Commanding General of Cadet Command for a week during Cadet Summer Training. We served in the same Aviation unit, but at different times.
2017, 2018 & 2019, Basic and Advanced Camps were running thru @ 10 regiments each of 600 cadets. There has been a shortage of Commissioned Officers, and the Army has been trying to fill that void. Last Summer, my West Point Cadet was Cadre for two cycles of Advanced Camp. He said the worst performance he saw was in Land Nav. I guess these young officers in training have never heard the term: "Cadet Trails". If you're looking for way points, just follow all the destroyed foliage from all the previous cadets.
All the ROTC cadets are now housed in the Disney Barracks complex, but a lot of cadre stay in the old Hammer Head barracks (refurbished) I was housed in for basic in '78.
