In response to the most challenging recruiting environment since the start of the all-volunteer force in 1973, the Army is implementing an innovative new program to prepare recruits who are en-route to initial military training to meet or exceed our rigorous standards.

The Future Soldier Preparatory Course pilot program, which is set to start in early August at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, is an investment in America’s youth to help them overcome academic and physical fitness barriers to service so they can earn the opportunity to join the Army.
The U.S. Army has already identified approximately 2,000 applicants who may be eligible to participate in the course. The Army will initially run the Future Soldier Preparatory Course as a pilot program and will review results in the early part of fiscal year 23 to determine if the course was effective and should become permanent.
