Marine Corps Officer Candidate School

Sea Power, Jan 2004

Marine Corps Officer Candidate School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., has the mission of training, evaluating, and screening officer candidates for commission as company-grade officers in the fleet's operating forces. Marine Corps OCS comprises paths to a commission, including the officer candidates' class, the platoon leaders' course, and Marine Corps-option NROTC.

Marine Corps OCS traces its development to 1891 with the "school of application" at Marine Barracks, Washington, D.C. Later, the "Marine Corps Officers Training School" was organized at Quantico following World War I, evolving into today's OCS program.
