Basic Combat Training 101: Red Phase
An individual's path to service begins with an idea. That Idea leads them to a recruiter, and then for over half of the individuals that enter the Force Generation Pipeline, they arrive at Fort Jackson for Basic Combat Training. They'll in-process at the 120th Reception Battalion, and then be transferred to the next available training unit. After they arrive at their training unit and make it through the first week, they enter Red Phase!
In Red Phase, civilians continue along their path to service with training and tasks that test their physical endurance and force them to face fears. They'll learn to trust their equipment and their battle buddies as they overcome obstacles and learn to work together as part of a team.
Guided by their drill sergeants, they will build the foundation that will lead them through the rest of their training as they learn to move, shoot, communicate and survive as a member of the U.S. Army team.
