Training Junior Officers for Tomorrow's Army
Abstract
The pilot class of the Army's Basic Officer Leadership Course (Phase II) graduated on 25 August 2005 at Infantry Hall on Fort Benning, Georgia. These 173 new Army second Lieutenants were the first graduates of the Army's new company grade officer training program. This program collectively known as the Basic Officer Leadership Course (BOLC) is designed to dramatically change the way in which the Army trains its junior officers. BOLC is designed to produce leaders who are ready to deploy and lead soldiers into combat. These changes to the Army's system for training junior officers are the first but not final step towards a more technically and tactically competent officer corps. Army Officer training is undergoing a profound modification designed to produce officers who better meet the demands of our profession.
