The United States Army Basic Combat Training (BCT) is conducted at several main locations depending on the recruit's Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and entry point. The primary Army basic training sites are:

• Fort Benning (now Fort Moore), Georgia: Also provides Infantry and Armor One Station Unit Training (OSUT) for combat roles.
• Fort Jackson, South Carolina: The largest basic training location, primarily for non-combat MOSs.
• Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri: Provides training for engineering, chemical warfare, and military police OSUT.
• Fort Sill, Oklahoma: Provides artillery AIT and training.
• Fort Knox, Kentucky: Also used for basic training.

Recruits assigned to combat MOSs like Infantry, Military Police, or Combat Engineer often attend OSUT, where basic training and advanced individual training are combined at the same location. Non-combat MOS recruits typically attend basic training at one of these sites and then move to a different location for AIT. Female recruits generally train at Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Sill, or Fort Jackson, which have gender-integrated training. Basic training typically lasts about 10 weeks, including reception and four phases of training, and is designed to be physically and mentally challenging
