Cole]]" – ''[[Halo: Evolutions]]''</ref>


==Curriculum==
'''Unified Combined Military Boot Camp''', or UCMB, is the initial recruit training to which new [[United Nations Space Command]] recruits are sent following enlistment.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole", ''page 420''</ref>  
All recruits are given a pay grade of E-1 while they attend boot camp. Upon graduation, they are promoted to an E-2 rank and are given their initial assignment.<ref name="osfm119">''[[Halo: Official Spartan Field Manual]]'', Part 08: UNSC Organization</ref>


To graduate, all recruits are to complete the requisite physical tests and not display any mental aberrations. The [[Combined Physical Skill Test]] (CPST) evaluated a recruit's physical fitness, while the [[Combined Arms Skill Test]] (CAST) assessed their proficiency with firearms. Recruits also received a [[Gratney-Walis Hierarchical Aptitude Score]] (GWAS) which analyzed their command potential.{{Ref/Reuse|evolutions}} Recruits are also training in vehicle maintenance and off-road driving skills.<ref>[[Halo Waypoint]]: [https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial ''Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial'']</ref>
Its name suggests that recruits from all four UNSC service branches, [[UNSC Army|Army]], [[UNSC Navy|Navy]], [[UNSC Air Force|Air Force]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]], attend UCMB. Recruits were administered tests designed to evaluate their skills at UCMB. The [[Combined Physical Skill Test|CPST]] evaluated a recruit's physical fitness while the [[Combined Arms Skill Test|CAST]] assessed their proficiency with firearms.
