Fort Jackson Night View of Basic Combat Training

Fort Jackson General invites all to tour the post.

 

FORT JACKSON, S.C.-Fort Jackson's commander invites the public to a special and up-close night view of Basic Combat Training on Nov. 5.

 

"This is your Army and we want you to come learn about it to understand what is in your backyard," said Fort Jackson commander Brig. Gen. Milford H. Beagle Jr. "We have a great local community and now I want to extend that knowledge out to other communities." 

 

To promote Basic Combat Training awareness, Fort Jackson will host a "Come Meet Your Army" tour to give local citizens an opportunity to see and experience how soldiers train and provide insight into the day to day operations. The tour will begin upon your arrival to the Fort Jackson Non-Commissioned Officer Club, where you will receive a briefing about Fort Jackson's mission and training at the Night Infiltration Course (NIC). Then, you will board a bus and travel to NIC to watch Basic Combat Training Soldiers move under direct, live machine gun fire and talk with the soldiers about their training.
