COURSE DESCRIPTIONS & TERMS
1. Special Operations Forces (SOF) Advanced Skills Training Course
Introduction The Special Operations Forces (SOF) Advanced Skills Training Course is a comprehensive training course for Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel to learn, assimilate and apply small-unit, advanced skill-sets to successfully complete operational missions. This course is focused on providing the classroom and hands-on training necessary to support current SOF mission requirements. Based on trend analysis and current contract support to NEK SOF customers, the course format and curriculum incorporates aspects of new and emerging surveillance and exploitation technologies utilizing the integration of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) equipment into a dynamic curriculum that accommodates new Training, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs).
Synopsis The SOF Advanced Skills Training Course focuses on the provision of the most advanced technical and tactical instruction and allows for the expansion or compression of the course based on the customer and student training needs. NEK can accommodate class sizes from 10 to 14 personnel utilizing organic facilities/resources.
This nine-week (860 hours) comprehensive program provides the training to plan, support and conduct advanced skills and surveillance in sensitive environments. The course focuses on two primary areas:
Schedule 874 Page 21
Advanced Tactical Skills: Providing the SOF operator advanced training in tactical driving, weapons handling, vehicle acquisition, surveillance and improvised weapons and demolitions.
Advanced Technical skills: provision of advanced training in information/operations (IO), full spectrum data exploitation, intelligence preservation techniques, tactical data search, data recovery, advanced audio and video installation and tactical electronics.
Training will be conducted from existing POIs and take place at the contractor’s facilities. Students will utilize actual training platforms in the conduct of training and will not use simulated training aids. Operational planning procedures for all classes will be covered.
The SOF Advanced Skills Training Course is structured logically so that the student is competent in the skill-sets necessary to support the next phase of instruction. This ensures that the training received in previous modules is reinforced by the application of that training in the Practical Exercises in subsequent modules. The course is focused on the provision of a well rounded, operationally ready student and designed to stimulate learning and utilizes a 1:4 ratio of classroom instruction to hands-on training to reinforce learning.
To ensure the student masters the TTPs and subject matter taught, the SOF Advanced
Skills Training Course incorporates a rigorous, challenging Culmination Exercise (CULEX) designed to task the student to perform all the activities learned during the course. The CULEX takes place at locations other than the contractor’s facilities, to include OCONUS locations. The CULEX will require students to work though planning and mission preparation and provide the student with numerous challenges in the incorporation of TTPs in a fast paced and stressful environment.
Course Objectives The SOF Advanced Skills Training Course provides qualified students a flexible, hands-on focused curriculum which combines classroom and practical exercises that are designed to enhance lethality and survivability based on operationally proven TTPs. The curriculum encompasses advanced tactical and technical skills and, when authorized, Advanced Special Operations (ASO) training, in challenging training scenarios covering both CONUS and OCONUS locations with a comprehensive closeout exercise.
Instructors The instructors are recognized SMEs in their respective areas. Our instructors were selected from the best individuals in the country from the intelligence, SOF, LEA and technical communities. Each instructor is accredited in his field with years of operational and instructional experience and is required to maintain that accreditation through continuous schooling in the latest TTPs, technologies and methodologies that apply to their instructional area.
