Increased funding will also support the redesigned Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC) Phases I, II, and III, which trains
officers for the Asymmetric Battle Field and the additional instructors required to maintain a 1:1 student to instructor ratio for
the resident Enhanced Analysis and Interrogator Training (EAIT). This training prepares units and individual Soldiers for
rotational assignments to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other crisis areas.
The FY 2008 budget reflects a program increase for Recruiting, Advertising, Other Training and Education Initiatives
($197.1 million). These funds will support an increased number of recruiters from 4,949 to 5,633 in the Active Component
and will add 300 contract recruiters. This increase will enable the Army to attract and retain quality Soldiers.
The Army's assertive Army Strong advertising campaign, along with an increase in the number of Active Duty and contract
recruiters, will target the eligible population in the overall Army effort to recruit to a 489.4 thousand base force in FY 2008.
