Army OSUT Graduation Guide
OSUT (One Station Unit Training) combines Basic Combat Training with your Soldier’s job-skill training (AIT) into a single cycle. Depending on the MOS, training runs 14–22 weeks and may include two separate family-attended ceremonies.
What is OSUT?
Standard Army training has two phases: BCT (10 weeks, all Soldiers) and AIT (4–52 weeks, MOS-specific). OSUT collapses these into a single continuous cycle at one installation. Your Soldier doesn’t travel between posts mid-training.
OSUT programs typically run 14–22 weeks depending on the MOS. Infantry at Fort Benning is 22 weeks; Engineer and Military Police at Fort Leonard Wood are approximately 14–20 weeks. Field Artillery at Fort Sill is also OSUT-classified, though families usually attend only the Week-10 graduation.
At Week-22 OSUT graduations (especially Infantry), Soldiers often ship to their first duty station within days of the ceremony — sometimes overseas. The graduation weekend may be the last in-person time before a 9–12 month deployment. Plan accordingly.

Looking for standard BCT (10 weeks)?
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.
