Army infantry training is 22 weeks long as part of One Station Unit Training (OSUT) at Fort Moore, GA.
Here's a breakdown of what that 22 weeks entails:
- Basic Combat Training (BCT): 10 weeks and 3 days. This phase focuses on foundational soldiering skills.
- Advanced Individual Training (AIT): 12 weeks. This phase provides specialized training specific to the infantryman's role.
During both BCT and AIT, time is divided between classroom instruction and field exercises. Recruits will learn everything from basic rifle marksmanship and combat tactics to land navigation and first aid. A significant portion of the training takes place outdoors, preparing soldiers for the demanding physical and mental challenges of infantry duty.
