Basic Training/Boot Camp

More than 400 recruits are on hold at Fort Benning, Georgia's reception station and may have to wait as long as three weeks.

The Army's top enlisted official said the service is considering extending the time trainees spend in Basic Combat Training.

"I saw it on Facebook. It has to be a thing, right?"

Recruits with a more sedentary background have seen rising injury levels, an official said.

Army training officials have finalized a plan to ensure new recruits in Basic Combat Training receive more trigger time.

The family of a Muslim Marine recruit who died in a fall at boot camp at Parris Island is raising new issues about his death.

Raheel Siddiqui's family said there is no record of him ever being treated at the hospital where he is said to have died.

The Army has already been working to revamp basic training to increase the focus on physical fitness and discipline.

The U.S. Army will soon launch a redesign of Basic Combat Training intended to build more discipline.

Hobbies like BMX, motocross, skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and others are now full-time sports for many young athletes...
