Ordnance training

As the second largest branch in the US Army, the Ordnance Corps is in charge of a wide range of weapons systems. More specifically, officers in this branch ensure that weapon systems, vehicles and equipment are ready and available, as well as in perfect working order, for combat commanders anytime, anywhere.

At the Ordnance Basic Officer Leader Course, lieutenants will learn leadership skills, tactics, maintenance and operational aspects of weapons and vehicles used in an Ordnance platoon. Training takes place both in the classroom and the field.

There are three main divisions in the Ordnance Corps: Material Maintenance Management, Munitions Material Management, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Officers in this branch may manage vast amounts of supplies and soldiers or serve in a staff platoon.
