US Army Basic Training Locations

As of February, 2009, four U.S. army bases conduct basic combat training.

Fort Jackson

Fort Jackson is in South Carolina. It is the largest army basic combat training base in the United States, training 70% of all incoming women and 50% of all incoming army recruits.

Fort Benning

Fort Benning, located in Georgia, is home of the 192d Infantry Brigade. Their mission is to conduct basic combat training for the U.S. army.

Fort Sill

Fort Sill is in Oklahoma. As the only active U.S. army fort built in the southern plains during the Indian Wars, it has been designated as a historic landmark.

Fort Knox

Fort Knox, near Louisville, Kentucky, is responsible for training all armor soldiers.

Note

Although these four posts are responsible for all United States army basic training, other posts offer specific training, such as officer training, for soldiers who have graduated basic training.
