Officer Candidate School Curriculum Optimization.

Abstract

This report describes the results of a study which culminates in recommendations for the reduction of the Navy Officer Candidate School program from 19 weeks to 16 weeks with minimum degradation in the quality of officer output. The purpose of the study was to recommend an appropriate curriculum by topic, hours per topic, and other procedures by which to achieve the mandated reduction in training time. The report provides an overview of the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Transportation (DoT) (Coast Guard) officer acquisition systems, and compares the Navy OCS to other OCS programs in the system. A comparison of OCS and other Navy initial officer acquisition programs is also presented. A detailed description of the Navy OCS is provided, and a discussion of the relationship of OCS to the follow-on schools which both OCS graduates and graduates of other Navy officer acquisition programs may attend is discussed.
