Tropical
training is conducted near the Hoh River, WA.
Hoh River, Washington, United States
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, river navigation, and white water rafting 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 tropical 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.
