The Strength To Live Out Your Dreams
Being a Soldier means you’re always learning. In the Army, you can take advantage of a long list of job- and leadership-training opportunities giving you the skills to succeed in the Army — and in life. And the strength not only to follow but also to lead.
Training
You will become a Soldier after you attend Basic Combat Training (BCT) and complete Advanced Individual Training (AIT) to learn your Army job skills. After that, you’ll take part in a variety of Ongoing Training opportunities. You will be physically and mentally prepared to face even the most difficult mission.
Basic Combat Training (BCT)
BCT is nine of the toughest weeks you’ll go through — but it’s also extremely rewarding. See how BCT transforms recruits into some of the toughest Soldiers in the world, with a strength of body and mind.
Advanced Individual Training (AIT)
AIT is where, as a Soldier, you’ll learn all you need to perform your Army job. Through hands-on training and field instruction, you’ll leave AIT ready to become a valuable part of the Army team.
Ongoing Training
Ongoing Training consists of Leadership Training, Unit Training and Specialized Schools. All of this training and education results in even stronger Soldiers and leaders.
