When an officer in the US Army has received his patent , he can be delegated to the Army Engineer School to study combat engineering , general engineering and geospatial engineering ( German "Geological Engineering").

The educational institution dates back to 1778 and has had several locations since then. In 1988 the school was moved from Fort Belvoir to Fort Leonard Wood . The US Army Engineer School is a facility of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) to which it is subordinate.

EBOLC III

The EBOLC III has been specially set up for second lieutenants . Enrolling at the Army Engineer School is only possible after a selection process, as there are generally more applicants than places.

According to the BOLC model, newly appointed officers spend the first four weeks learning general military tasks and procedures.
