A competent cadre will train you on the fundamentals of leadership and basic military skills, instill Army values and officership, and evaluate your leadership potential.

The OCS course Program of Instruction (POI) is 12 weeks long, and the Direct Commission Course is six weeks long. Both courses begin with a baselining in basic martial discipline designed to provide a common formative experience as with other commissioning sources.
