There are a couple of answers to this.
Most soldiers will go straight to Advanced Individual Training, where they learn the skills needed to do the job they enlisted for.
If you joined an MOS that requires language training, you do that before AIT. The installation you go to is the Presidio of Monterey, California.
Soldiers who joined MOS 18X (Special Forces Enlistment) go to a lot of schools: Infantry School, Airborne School, then Special Operations Preparation Course, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, and finally the Special Forces Qualification Course.
WWI was the US Army's first war in which basic training, HAIRCUTS (it began with lice control), and the basic standards (protocol, etc) of the present US Army were established on a traditional basis.
No, you do not. The Marines is the only branch of Service that the US Army accepts people without going through any form of introduction training.
Almost all bases have a training section of some kind. Lackland Air force base is the training center for all USAF enlisted and the US Air Force Academy in Colorado is the training ground for all USAF Officers. But that is just AF basic training bases. After basic training there is Tech School and there are many bases that host the various career field tech schools. The Army, Marines, and Navy also have Basic training and tech school bases. One Marine training base is Camp Lejune in North Carolina. One Army training base is Fort Jackson in South Carolina. There is also an officer training base at Annapolis Maryland for Navy officers. And then there are many specialty training bases such as the Survival School training base in East Washington State.
Security and the training of the Afghanistan National Army.
There were eleven "field armies" in the US Army during WWII. Of these two, the Second US Army and the Fourth US Army, remained in the continental US throughout the war, functioning as training commands. Additionally the 4th US Army was responsible for defending the west coast of the US against attack.
There is no Army National Guard basic training. It is basic training at one of the US Army's active duty training base. All active, reserve, and guard members train together as one. The platoon guide is basically a leader of the platoon.
The army basic training program takes nine weeks to complete. It is required to become a US soldier.
Yes. US Army infantry attend One Station Unit Training (essentially, Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training, rolled into one package) at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Typically No, you will proceed right to your AIT (MOS training) right after Basic Training, unless you are a Reserve soldier you might be able to go home after Basic
Locations for US Army BCT (Basic Combat Training) are:Ft Leonard Wood, MissouriFt Jackson, South CarolinaFt Knox, KentuckyFt Sill, OklahomaFt Benning, Georgia
Your Entry Level Training comes in two phases - Basic Combat Training, and Advanced Individual Training. In BCT, you learn basic soldiering skills. In AIT, you learn the skills necessary for your occupation in the military. Additional training will come as you advance in your career, move up in rank, and take on new responsibilities.
The only way to enter the US Army as a soldier without going through US Army Basic Training is to be a prior service member, in which case, you would have already gone through Basic Training/boot camp. Otherwise, the answer is no. You could gain employment as a Department of Defence civilian employee, but a lot of those jobs come with a stipulation that you join a reserve component of the military, which is still going to require you to go through Entry Level Training. Even officers have a Basic Training they go to - OBT, or Officers Basic Training.
No, you don't get CPR certified in Basic Combat Training/One Station Unit Training. The first aid training you receive in BCT/OSUT is very basic.
Like seven extra weeks of basic training.
