Engineer Officer Basic Course
- Engineer Officer Basic Course
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 combat engineering, general engineering, and geospatial engineering. The EBOLC III is composed 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 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.
