The next step in your development as an Ordnance Corps Officer is attendance at the Captain's Career Course at Fort Lee, Virginia. This 24-week course prepares Ordnance officers to command an Ordnance Company, and also serve successfully as a staff officer. The instruction is divided into four separate course phases:

• Phase 1 offers a curriculum in written and oral communications, commander skills, Army operations doctrine, tactics and military history in preparation for company command.
  
• Phase 2 course trains company grade officers in their branch-specific critical tasks at a regimental school at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
• Phase 3 equips students with skills and knowledge necessary to perform duties as a staff officer on a multifunctional logistics staff. Concentration is on the logistics functions and associated logistics support operations.
• The Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, teaches the final phase and concentrates on staff functions.
