Read More »The Corps is streamlining how it prepares deploying Marines in survival skills and evading capture by potential hostile forces in order to reduce a training burden. Deploying military and Defense Department personnel are required to complete the appropriate level of survival, evasion, resistance and escape, or SERE, and Code of Conduct training before deploying overseas. For many, SERE Level A training meets the minimum threshold for troops to operate in all combatant commands across the globe. Before, Marines needing to complete this requirement had to finish a lengthy online course called SERE 100.2 that the Corps described in the MARADMIN as “problematic for large units and units with limited home station computer access and limited bandwidth situations.” To alleviate this training burden Marine Corps Training and Education Command, or TECOM, teamed up with U.S. Army Forces Command and the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency to develop the new SERE TSP. There are various levels of SERE training and military personnel only need to attend the appropriate level of course based on their potential risk of being captured by hostile forces. Level A is considered basic, while Level C is generally for special operations forces and aviation. Senior Airman Ian Kuhn, a survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) instructor with the 103rd Rescue Squadron, demonstrates how to build a concealed shelter during a combat and water survival training course at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Fla., Jan. 20, 2016. During this training, aircrew members gained refresher training on using their emergency radios, tactical movements through difficult terrain, how to build shelters, ways to build fires and methods for evading the enemy. (U.S. Air National Guard/Staff Sgt. Christopher S. Muncy) Because TSP is an instructor-driven course, TECOM recommends two instructors, a primary and an assistant to teach the course materials. TECOM also recommends that the instructor be a staff non-commissioned officer or officer with deployment experience and SERE Level C graduate. Both SERE 100.2 and SERE TSP are viable options and commanders can choose the choose the best option that supports their unit.
