OUR STORY
The idea for the modern Officer Candidate School for Infantry was conceived in June 1938, when a plan for an officer-training program was submitted to the Chief of Infantry by Brigadier General L. Singleton, Commandant of the Infantry School, Fort Benning, Georgia.

The OCS Alumni Association
The United States Army Officer Candidate Schools Alumni Association (TUSAOCSAA) preserves the legacy of the Army’s OCS Program by supporting the OCS Heritage Center and OCS Memorial Walk, as well as conducting a National Annual Reunion.
