Engineer Officer Basic Course




Under the BOLC model, newly commissioned officers spend the first four weeks learning common military tasks and functions. After the implementation of the BOLC program in the summer of 2006, this 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 lead Combat Engineering missions.

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