~ DESERT TRAINING ~

 Desert training is conducted near Mosses Lake, WA.

  Moses Lake, Washington, United States

  It is designed to teach students how to survive in the extreme heat of the desert while maintaining the student's survival needs. Typical groups range in size from 5 - 12 students per instructor element. Students learn in how to build and use shelters, fires, ground to air signals, improvised tools/equipment, food procurement, sustenance preparation, cooking techniques, land navigation, and desert travel to meet their survival needs. Students also learn to call in recovery assets to their location for recovery. These skills are similar to the ones they learned in the previous phases but are practiced so they apply to the desert region. All these skills are learned and graded regardless of the present weather conditions because the students are taught and expected to cope with extreme climatic conditions throughout training.
