Answer Replacement troops went through training for about 18 weeks. Other soldiers went through months of training. For example, the 85th Infantry Division was an all-draftee division. It was formed in May 1942 and went through basic training at Camp Shelby for several months. Then the unit went through the following training before deploying overseas.
21 March 1943 - Louisiana Maneuvers for large-scale army tactics.
June 1943 - Desert Training Center at Camp Pilot Knobb,CA (just west of Yuma, AZ). Trained for desert combat and further training in maneuvers, mine fields, and individual infantry instruction.
31 Oct 1943 - Division moved to Ft Dix and was brought up to full combat strength. Training was completed; a time for last R&Rs.
24 Dec 1943 - embarked for overseas duty with a stop in North Africa for more training.
I think the 85th Division spent more days in training then they did in combat, which was from April 1944 until 2 May 1945.

There are a couple of answers to this. Most soldiers will go straight to Advanced Individual Training, where they learn the skills needed to do the job they enlisted for.

Soldiers who joined MOS 18X (Special Forces Enlistment) go to a lot of schools: Infantry School, Airborne School, then Special Operations Preparation Course, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, and finally the Special Forces Qualification Course.
