Army 2nd Lt. Michael D. Greenberg has graduated from Officer Candidate School (OCS) at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga., and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army.
During the 12 weeks of training, the officer candidate received “basic soldiering” instruction in leadership, professional ethics, soldier team development, combined arms tactics, weapons defense, combat water survival, squad drill, intelligence, field training exercises, day and night land navigation, confidence obstacle course, common core tasks, communications, staff and general military subjects, and physical fitness tests.
Students learned to utilize acquired skills to function in “leader and follower” positions in squad and platoon sized elements, and evaluated in various leadership garrison positions while in a stressful and demanding field environment.
Greenberg is the son of Linda and Ned Greenberg of Islelin Terrace, Larchmont.
He is a 2004 graduate of Mamaroneck High School. He earned a bachelor’s degree in 2008 from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.
