Army OSUT Graduation Guide

One Station Unit Training combines Basic Combat Training and job-skill AIT into one 14 to 19 week cycle at a single post. Ceremony dates and family logistics depend on your Soldier’s track.

The track sets the timeline, the ceremonies families attend, and the post you travel to.

What is One Station Unit Training (OSUT)?

Standard Army training has two separate phases: BCT (10 weeks at any basic training post) followed by AIT (4-52 weeks at a specialized school, often a different post). OSUT collapses these into one uninterrupted cycle at a single installation. The Soldier ships to OSUT, completes BCT and AIT back-to-back, and graduates from the same post without moving between duty stations mid-training.

If your Soldier is at Fort Jackson, Fort Sill (standard BCT), or Fort Leonard Wood for BCT only, use the base-specific guides. Those graduations follow the standard 10-week BCT pattern.
