Most Officers never served enlisted for starters. The Army gets new Officers 1 of 4 ways:
1. The US Military Academy at West Point (about 20%)
2. Army ROTC (about 70%)
3. Army OCS (less than 10%)
4. Direct Commission (for MDs, Lawyers and Chaplains) (less than 1%)
Take your pick

No, you do not need to become enlisted first. Most officers has never served in the enlisted ranks. Do not worry about your great strategic mind; the chance for you doing strategy planning will be rather small.
