<P> Carried out at several different Army posts around the United States , Basic Training is designed to be highly intense and challenging . The challenge comes as much from the difficulty of physical training as it does from the psychological adjustment to an unfamiliar way of life . Basic Training is divided into two parts : Basic Combat Training ( BCT ) and Advanced Individual Training ( AIT ) . BCT consists of the first ten weeks of the total Basic Training cycle and is identical for all Army , Army Reserve and Army National Guard recruits . </P>
