Description The Infantry Basic NCO Course (IBNC) is a training program designed for Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) in the United States Army's Infantry branch. The course provides training on various Infantry-related topics, such as tactics, marksmanship, leadership, and physical fitness.
The IBNC is a 22-day course that is typically taken by soldiers who have recently been promoted to the rank of Sergeant (E-5) or Staff Sergeant (E-6). The course is conducted at the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, and is divided into two phases.
During Phase 1, soldiers receive classroom instruction on topics such as Infantry tactics, weapons handling, leadership, and physical fitness. They also participate in field exercises to apply what they have learned in the classroom.
During Phase 2, soldiers participate in a series of situational training exercises (STXs) that simulate realistic combat scenarios. These exercises are designed to test the soldiers' ability to apply what they have learned in a realistic, high-stress environment.
Upon completion of the IBNC, soldiers are expected to have developed the skills and knowledge necessary to lead Infantry soldiers in combat. They will also have earned the Infantry Basic Leader Badge, which signifies their completion of the course and their status as a qualified Infantry NCO.
Overall, the IBNC is an important training program for Infantry NCOs, as it provides them with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively lead their soldiers in combat.
