Officer Candidate School (OCS) is a training program designed to prepare individuals for leadership roles in the military. It typically lasts several weeks and focuses on developing essential skills such as decision-making, physical fitness, and military tactics. Candidates learn about the responsibilities of being an officer and undergo rigorous evaluations to assess their leadership potential.
Upon successful completion of OCS, candidates are commissioned as officers in their respective branches of the armed forces. This program is open to civilians, enlisted personnel, and college graduates, providing a pathway for those aspiring to serve in leadership positions within the military.
