== Curriculum and specialties ==

Each eight-week class spent about five weeks on '''general instruction''' (272 hours: terrain, signals, staff duties, enemy armies, photo interpretation, and related subjects) and three weeks on '''specialized tracks''' (82 hours), then a multi-day terrain exercise.

Specialty columns in Appendix 6 include IPW (German, Italian, and other), photo interpretation, counterintelligence, terrain and signal intelligence, and language tracks.

== Awards ==

The awards sheet lists Ritchie Boys recorded with the '''Medal of Honor''' (1), '''Distinguished Service Cross''' (1), and '''Silver Star''' (57). Names link to soldier profiles when a clear roster match exists; ribbon displays on matched profiles come from the same source work.
