During Basic Training, or One Station Unit Training, Trainees are exposed to the Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) and taught how to respond to an enemy rapidly closing their distance appropriately. This training allows the U.S. Army's newest Soldiers to build confidence in themselves and their ability to defend themselves in close quarters while further instilling the Warrior Ethos that they've been taught throughout Initial Military Training. | U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Trainin

Basic Combat Training, often known as “boot camp”, is your introduction to U.S. Army service, and where you will learn the traditions, tactics and methods of becoming a Soldier. During Basic, you’ll learn how to work as a member of a team to accomplish tasks. You’ll learn discipline, including proper dress, marching, and grooming standards. Most importantly, you’ll be instilled with the Seven Core Army Values and the Soldier Creed. | U.S. Army Center for Initial Military Training
