11th Infantry Regiment
The 11th Infantry Regiment deals with the training and production of infantry officers for the United States Army. Officer Candidate School falls under the 1st Battalion, and is a commissioning source for prior enlisted soldiers, and warrant officers in the Army, as well as civilian volunteers with no prior military experience to receive a commision in the U.S. Army. Officers from the Officer Candidate School are commissioned into all branches of the army. The other two major sources are the United States Military Academy and the Reserve Officer Training Corps.
Regardless of commissioning source or specialty branch, officers are required to attend Basic Officer Leadership Course II. This is a course designed to teach all officers basic combat tactics and skills. It is a part of the over all "Warrior Ethos" program that was launched in 2003 by the United States Army.
Infantry Officers who have completed commissioning and the Basic Officer Leadership course then attend Infantry Officer Basic Course in 2nd battalion. This is a course of instruction, as the name implies in Basic Infantry skills, including Marksmanship, Machinegunnery, Tactics, and Planning. At the Captain level a higher level course with similar focus is the Commanders Career Course, which refines the skills of an Infantry Officer, and prepares them for Battalion Staff and Company Command. The international student detatchment also falls under the second battalion, and allows United States allies the opportunity to participate in the same training as American officers, alongside American officers, and in the same unit.
