We normally select officers to begin their assignment in their 6-8th year of commissioned service.

Officers must meet the Army height, weight, and physical fitness standards.

To be eligible for consideration, applicants can have an undergraduate degree in any field. The most successful candidates will have an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher, though this is not a requirement.
 


TIMELINE


We select officers on a rolling basis as vacancies are identified, with direct assignment or graduate school starting the following summer or fall. The preferred report date for inbound personnel is June of each year due to the Cadet Summer Training requirements and New Instructor Orientation training, but we occasionally accept personnel outside that window. You may start a file at any time so that you are eligible for the next vacancy that fits your availability.
