The Maneuver Captains Career Course (MCCC or MC3) is a military training and education course primarily for U.S. Army infantry and armor officers. Organized under the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) at Fort Benning, Georgia, the course is 22 weeks long. While the course's students consist mostly of U.S. Army maneuver-branch captains and senior first lieutenants, several U.S. Marine Corps captains and officers from allied nations also attend. MCCC's mission is to prepare students for the leadership, training, and administrative requirements of a successful company commander and for the execution of the tactical planning responsibilities of Battalion S3s.

MCCC's origins are in the Infantry Officer Advanced Course and Armor Officer Advanced Course. These two courses, under the U.S. Army Infantry School and the U.S. Army Armor School, both at Fort Benning, served a similar purpose in preparing captains in those branches for company command and service on a battalion staff. With the U.S. Congress' mandated Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) reorganization of the Department of Defense in 2005, the infantry and armor schools were directed to partially merge. The branches collaborated and, by 2008, taught the same 'maneuver' curriculum to captains at both of their courses. The armor school completed its move to Fort Benning to form the Maneuver Center of Excellence in 2011 and the Maneuver Captains Career Course replaced both legacy captains' courses.
