regulation prescribes U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) guidance, policies, procedures, and
responsibilities for managing and conducting Initial Entry Training (IET). IET consists of Basic Combat Training
(BCT), One Station Unit Training (OSUT), Advanced Individual Training (AIT), and any other formal enlisted Army
training accomplished within the IET environment received prior to the awarding of an initial Military Occupational
Specialty (MOS) (for example, English language training (ELT)). This regulation also supports the design,
development, and execution of all IET programs of instruction (POIs), as well as AIT for MOS training for prior
service enlisted Soldiers and Noncommissioned officers (NCOs). This regulation also identifies prohibited practices,
which are punitive in nature and may subject the offender to disciplinary action.
