SERE School

Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE) School is a training course which prepares soldiers for the absolute worst-case scenarios - isolation from their unit and capture by the enemy. Soldiers are trained how to hunt and gather food in the wilderness, navigate towards an objective without equipment, construct a temporary shelter, conceal themselves from enemies, resist interrogation, and ways to escape from POW camps. This school is required for Army aviation personnel, Special Forces, sniper teams, and some diplomatic positions.
