This school's motto: 'Armament for Peace.' A key component to the Army's success is the maintenance of a wide range of weapons systems, commonly called 'ordnance.' Ordnance Soldiers ensure that weapons systems, vehicles, and equipment are ready and available'and in perfect working order'at all times. During AIT, you will gain the basic knowledge and hands-on skills to perform mechanical maintenance on tanks, small arms weapons, Humvees and trucks, generators, air conditioners, and equipment such as laundry, bath units and water purifiers. Depending on your selected Army job, you could also learn machinist and welding skills. While in the Army, Ordnance Soldiers have the opportunity to obtain certification with national technical accrediting agencies, such as the American Welding Society (AWS), the National Institute of Metalworking Skills (NIMS), and the Automotive Society of Excellence (ASE). Additionally, many of these skills also translate into college credit towards a degree.
