The U.S. Army is taking bold steps to meet unprecedented training demands by expanding Basic Combat Training (BCT) capacity. With 10 additional training units established at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, this initiative will train up to 9,600 additional recruits annually, ensuring the Army meets its ambitious fiscal year 2025 goal of 61,000 new soldiers.
This expansion follows a successful recruiting year in 2024, which saw over 55,300 enlistments. To support this surge, the 108th Training Command (Initial Entry Training) has deployed over 50 Army Reserve Drill Sergeants and cadre volunteers through Active-Duty Operational Support (ADOS) missions in both locations. These dedicated professionals are now serving at training locations across the country, playing a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of soldiers. show less
