U.S. Army Prime Power School

The U.S. Army Prime Power School is run by the United States Army Corps of Engineers at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri since January 2011, having previously moved from Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The mission of the school is to produce MOS 12P – Prime Power Production Specialists (formerly MOS 52E and 21P) for the U.S. Army.

The U.S. Army Prime Power Production Specialist Course is located at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. This year long training program trains Active, Army Reserve soldiers, and Navy Seabees. Upon graduation Army personnel are awarded MOS 12P20 and Navy personnel awarded NEC 5633. Students earn over 30 semester hours of college credit while attaining the knowledge and skills associated with installing, operating, and maintaining large medium voltage electrical power plants. The course is challenging and requires a large amount of home study.

The 12P20 Course consists of an Academic Phase and Operator Training Phase. This course lasts approximately 29 weeks and provides students with the necessary knowledge and skills to install, operate, and maintain, medium voltage electrical power plants.

Following completion of the 12P20 course, students are selected to attend one of three Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) Courses. The Electrical Specialty Course provides direct and general support maintenance training on a wide variety of electrical power components. The Instrumentation Specialty Course provides direct and general support maintenance training on AC and DC control circuits and components as well as engine and generator protective circuits and components. Both the electrical and instrumentation specialties provide in depth instruction in electronics and AC power theory. The Mechanical Specialty Course provides direct and general support maintenance training on two- and four-stroke diesel engines to include complete rebuild practical exercises. Additionally, in depth instruction is provided on a wide variety of mechanical systems components.
