Infantry Officer Career Course

The Infantry Officer Career Course (IOCC) is a key professional development program within the United States Army, designed to prepare commissioned officers for company-grade leadership roles in infantry units. Established in the mid-20th century, the course evolved from earlier officer training schools to address the changing demands of modern land warfare. Located primarily at Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning), Georgia, the IOCC combines advanced tactical instruction, leadership development, and combined arms integration. Over the decades, it has produced countless skilled leaders, ensuring the Army’s infantry officers are prepared for both conventional and asymmetric operations worldwide.
