OCS Graduation Ceremony
OCS Graduation Ceremony
The OCS Graduation ceremony was a couple of days after the formal. Army Officer Candidate School (OCS) is a fourteen-week program which graduates accredited officers in the United States Army. Army OCS was founded in 1941 to offer Infantry officers for World War II. By all of the years OCS has stayed a substantial commission source for the Army. Officer Candidate School (OCS) is situated at Fort Benning, GA and is the Army’s only active duty Officer Candidate School, commissioning over 800 lieutenants yearly.
An additional 650 National Guard candidates train there each summer. College Graduate (civilian) applicants are picked out by a selection board gathered by the Army Recruiting Command, and Current Military (enlisted) are selected by a board convened by the Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM). Once selected, the graduation rate for OCS is over 90 percent.
