Advanced Individual Training

Advanced Individual Training (AIT) is specialized military instruction that service members undergo after basic training. It focuses on teaching them specific skills and knowledge for their chosen career field, such as mechanics, medical assistance, or communications. During AIT, trainees gain practical, hands-on experience and in-depth understanding necessary to perform their military jobs effectively. The duration and content vary depending on the occupation, but the goal is to prepare soldiers to operate confidently and competently in their specialized roles within the military.
