Congratulations to the Summer 2024 graduating classes of the SC State Guard Military Academy! The ceremony, held at Camp McCrady in Eastover, SC, featured Command Sergeant Major (CSM) of the State Guard Ken Cabe as the guest speaker, alongside First Sergeant (1SG) Anthony Nixon, the Acting CSM of the SCSG Military Academy, and Academy Commandant Major (MAJ) Beth Bailey.

The event celebrated the dedication, enthusiasm, and selfless service of the graduates. Well done.

The courses offered by the SC State Guard Military Academy are crucial in developing effective leaders. The Basic Leader Course (BLC) prepares sergeants, promotable specialists, and corporals to lead team-sized units, laying the foundation for further training and leadership development. The Advanced Leader Course (ALC) enhances the skills of sergeants, preparing them for staff sergeant roles through a comprehensive approach that includes critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and effective communication. The Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC) is a two-phased training designed to commission officers and equip them with leadership skills, small unit tactics, and branch-specific capabilities. The Army Captain’s Career Course (CCC) is pivotal for newly promoted captains, focusing on professional development, performance, and retention of talented officers. These programs ensure that the South Carolina State Guard remains trained and ready to meet any challenge.

Congratulations to our Summer 2024 SCSG Military Academy Graduates and Honor Graduates. Your dedication, enthusiasm, and selfless service have no match. SCSG-2BN-Highlanders Lead the Way! #TrainedandReady #IamSCSG S.C. State Guard
