Road Trip: Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri

Fort Leonard Wood is a U.S. Army training installation located in the Missouri Ozarks. The main gate is located on the southern boundary of The City of St. Robert. The post was created in December 1940 and named in honor of General Leonard Wood (former Chief of Staff) in January 1941. Originally intended to train infantry troops, in 1941 it became an engineer training post with the creation of the Engineer Replacement Training Center.

The Maneuver Support Center of Excellence offers Basic Combat Training (BCT) for most non-combat arms soldiers, and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) for MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) 88M (motor transport operator) and MOS 74D (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear specialists).

It also provides non-combat engineer MOS training, OSUT (One-Station Unit Training) for combat engineers and bridging engineers (MOS 12B and 12C), and AIT for military police (31B, 31K & 31E). All training is gender integrated as is Fort Jackson.

Newly commissioned second lieutenants in the CBRN, Engineer, and Military Police branches attend the Basic Officer Leader Course Phase B at the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence.

The Maneuver Support Center of Excellence NCO Academy conducts the Senior and Advanced Leader Courses for the Chemical, Engineer, and Military Police branches, the Advanced Leader Course for Ordnance NCOs in MOS 62B, and the Warrior Leader Course for all Army NCO MOSs.

The CBRN, Engineer, and Military Police schools provide Professional Military Education and functional courses for soldiers, Non-commissioned Officers, Warrant Officers, and Commissioned Officers, including but not limited to the Captains Career Course and the Battalion and Brigade Pre-Command Courses.

The Chemical Corps conducts operations to protect the force and the nation from Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) / Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) threats and hazards.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!

My father was in basic training there in 1950. He wound up in the 297th Aviation Engineers and served in California and the Aleutians.

I remember visiting there a couple of times as a kid.

Really cold place in the winter! That is an understatement.

The heavy equipment course is nick named “Little Korea for a reason”

I spent 2 months Jan and Feb 1967 freezing at 23 degrees, 25MPH wind and 100% humidity.

Hiya radu!

We're into our December snow pattern, woke-up to snow Saturday morning and this morning but it melts by the afternoon. We will get more, it's inevitable. The mountain passes are socked-in with snow and the skiers are happy!

Not much happening with me, just staying inside where it's warm.

How are things your way?

[radu]

Howdy, lauren. *HUGZ*

I hope all’s well down your way. Y’all feeling a nip in the air like we are?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, unique, for the road trippers!

Howdy, PRO!

Oh boy! Snow! PLEASE keep it up there. LOL

No snow down here but it’s brisk ..... as it should be this time of year. :-) Winter doesn’t really settle in until next month.

Not much going on these days. Missing the museum something fierce and can’t wait for spring’s reopening.
I had the pleasure and honor of getting to take part in the Wreaths Across America activities Saturday. Can’t say the weather was ideal for it but it was a fabulous day regardless.

After that, this week is pretty much a nothing. Very quiet.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lauren, and thank you for today's Road Trip: Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.
