(NOTICE)
​We have found it necessary to remove an article we previously shared here from the Army Officer Candidate Schools Alumni Association Website:
78 Years of Excellence
by  Jim Wright
​Infantry Association Magazine (2019)

​Although much of the content of the article is historically accurate, important elements of OCS history during 1941 were misstated and according to our research the number of officers commissioned through the OCS program during World War II is incorrect. The end date for one of the schools is in error. There are many conflicting  versions of this period of our OCS history floating around and some of that information was likely used as a source for the article. Some of the inaccurate information in the article has since been published elsewhere and our website was cited as the source. We previously shared the article by Mr. Wright here, but cannot be party to the continuing spread of mis-information.  We have not been able to get the Army Officer Candidate Schools Alumni Association (TUSAOCSAA) to remove the article from their website or correct the errors. It is unfortunate that we had to remove an otherwise interesting and informative OCS story. Our desire is to have an accurate history of OCS on this website and on the kiosks in the National Infantry Museum and Wigle Hall (the OCS Heritage Center and Hall of Fame) and on TUSAOCSAA website. We do not fault Mr. Wright. Some of the information he relied upon was previously published in error by the Alumni Association. 
Standards! No Compromise! is the OCS Motto.
