Phase Two is an intense period that hones the Intermediate Officer Candidates' skills learned during Phase One. Candidates will be evaluated on both their leadership abilities and their ability to work as part of a team.

The 12-week NJARNG OCS program is modeled after the active-duty program at Fort Benning, Ga., and includes classroom instruction, physical and leadership training.
