When young men and women ship to basic combat training, the Army wants to ensure
they have the best chances of success without injury. The OPAT is designed to reduce
injury and keep our Soldiers healthy during training. The OPAT will help ensure
Soldiers are placed in the right Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), while measuring
each recruit's physical aptitude against validated physical demands
and tasks required in each MOS.
