Basic Training

Basic training, also known as boot camp, is a structured program that prepares new military recruits physically, mentally, and technically for service. It involves intense physical exercise, discipline, classroom instruction on uniforms, customs, and responsibilities, and practical drills to develop teamwork and resilience. The goal is to transform civilians into competent, disciplined soldiers capable of working effectively in demanding situations. Basic training varies by branch but generally emphasizes fitness, adherence to orders, and foundational military skills necessary for subsequent specialized training.
