Basic Combat Training, also known as "boot camp," is required of all new enlisted Soldiers to create a strong foundation for their Army experience and future goals. Basic training lasts for 10 weeks and the trainee will go through 4 phases that cover core values, physical training, first aid, Army programs, weaponry, combat skills, obstacle course, rifle basics, combat development, field training, advanced weaponry, marksmanship, and navigation course. Fort Jackson is the U.S. Army's main production center for Basic Combat Training. The installation trains roughly 50 percent of all Soldiers and more than 60 percent of women entering the Army each year. (U.S. Army photo by Robin Hicks)
