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.
