Fort Leonard Wood welcomed back large-scale gatherings of family and friends at graduation ceremonies and family days last week after more than a year of virtual-only events due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts. While graduations for functional courses, basic officer leadership courses, captains career courses, and courses with the NCO Academy opened to in-person visitors May 1st, larger One Station Unit Training and Advanced Individual Training family days and graduations opened back up to in-person visitors May 19th when Company B, 795th Military Police Battalion, held a family day, followed by a ceremony May 20th for their OSUT graduates on Gammon Field. The first Basic Combat Training family day took place this Wednesday, and the first graduations with in-person visitors are scheduled for noon today, when Company A, 2nd Battalion, 48th Infantry Regiment, and Companies D and G, 1st Battalion, 48th Infantry Regiment, graduate on Gammon Field, weather permitting.
