Engineer Officer Basic Course

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The U.S. Army Engineer School, or Engineer Basic Officer Leader Course Phase III (EBOLC III) is located at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and is approximately fourteen weeks long. Once an Army Officer has been Commissioned and selected for the Engineer Branch, he or she is sent to Engineer School to learn military construction, combat engineering, and topography. The EBOLC III is comprised of almost all Second Lieutenants. Assignment to the school is somewhat competitive; there are generally more young officers seeking engineering assignments than there are openings.

Under the EBOLC III model, the first four weeks consist of common military tasks and functions. Upon implementation of the BOLC program in the summer of 2006, common core training is conducted at non-branch specific BOLC II. At Engineer BOLC (or BOLC III), the students learn and are tested on military bridging, horizontal and vertical construction and military demolitions, including mine detection. The course concludes with a field training exercise where students learn combat engineering.

Once completed, most EOBC/Engineer BOLC graduates are sent to units where they will be Platoon Leaders.
